[QUOTE=HsssH;6149889]What are they supposed to do if animation isn't profitable for them?[/QUOTE]
Unscripted show about OC kids living in Gotham City trying to be Batfam akin to We Are Robin.
I'm sorry for putting this out there, but this is likely Zaslav's end goal for DC.

But from what I understand nothing that they are currently doing with animation comes close to DCAU? And I was always under impression that DCAU was profitable.

Young Justice is the closest they've got to the DCAU, but whereas that was built across a few shows (BTAS, STAS, Batman Beyond, Static and the Zeta project) before consolidating, Young Justice started with the group IP and stayed there. So while not the same, it's basically a DCAU if it started with Justice League.
That said, I find YJ significantly less enjoyable, even if the DCAU got really annoying at times with making Batman the clear protagonist.

I maybe will be sounding as petty, but if there are going to axe animated products too, I really wish than Bendis' Legion would be in the chopping block.

They’re actually dumping live action kids shows because they did so poorly on HBO Max lol

[QUOTE=Menacer;6149818]Disney+ and Marvel only do theatrical release and mini TV series... Disney hasn't done any streaming only marvel movie have they?
[/QUOTE]Just one I believe - Black Widow. And that was because of cinemas being closed for months on end because of COVID. Natasha's actress Scarlett Johansson wasn't happy about it (which is probably an understatement), so they made sure their other Marvel films went to the cinemas - though a couple of Pixar films and a couple of other live action projects also ended up streaming only I believe, among them Artemis Fowl?

That just kind of surprises me. I wonder by what metric they're judging it by.
Will we see less DTV's?

Bold of you to assume children's entertainment in 2022 onward isn't aimed at adults grasping for their childhood.
Also, I was describing Gotham Knights on CW :p

I feel badly for the people involved who put time and effort into it, but ..... silver lining??

Is it ‘nothing more that the pilot was made’ cancelled or ‘13 episodes of a DOA season that will be dumped in an empty season’ cancelled

When, not if.
As for Gotham Knights, it was ill advised from the start. I can only hope everyone involved was fairly compensated... but I doubt it.
