    I feel so bad for Leslie Grace .
    So I guess this confirms her as Harley?

    I would have to think so, only other option is a Harley character in everything but name.

    Do we know that for sure though? I keep hearing differing accounts for how bad the test screening for the movie went and if that had really anything to do with them shelving it, and I think a Batgirl film had decent potential just from the premise alone.
    Not mad at all that a lot of the shows are likely getting shelved either, Titans should’ve been prioritized as a film franchise the second Justice League started underperforming. Relegating them to a cheaply made TV series was always dumb. The CW stuff was never even decent quality so I don’t know why they diluted their brand by putting characters like Green Arrow there. A hard reset is in order for DC’s live action properties and if it takes pissing off some folks to get there I’m all for it.
    I don't think it needs to be a zero sum game of sequestering one brand to movies and not letting it be anything else. Superman has had better success on TV than he has in the films as of late and DC probably had no cinematic plans for Green Arrow before they made Arrow and that lead to a shared TV universe of DC shows that would have never existed otherwise.

    Her silhouette has a heart on her cheek, it's gotta be her. Like Hypo says she could very well end up being Harley in name only. Though if she's not an Arkham psychiatrist what's the point. Even Phoenix's Joker was still a failed comedian.

    Ditto. At least WB isn’t dumb enough to treat Gaga as badly as they did Leslie Grace, so the movie is guaranteed a release?

    I was actually going the other way, is Harley but named something else for w/e reason.

    I would say it's guaranteed a release because the first one made a crap ton of money of a relatively small budget.

    I could see her real name not being Harleen Quinzel, but I do think she'll eventually get the Harley Quinn moniker.

Now basically the show arm is going into what...a black hole? And all the diehards have to look forward to is a couple big budget movies a year minus new animated/live action shows and movies? What a rip. I guarantee that some subscribe to MAX FOR the DC content. So now the only people who gain something are the people who sub for HBO originals. But DC fans like us get left in the cold with a couple crumbs...wow that's sobering. I hope this scenario turns out to be wrong.
    I wouldn't be overly surprised if the DC DTV movies were going to stop as well. Scooby-Doo also had a thriving DTV animated movie series and while I haven't heard anything concrete, the fact that we haven't had any news released about the next Scooby-Doo DTV movie yet. Especially as it was supposed to be a Krypto crossover and that would have been certainly announced as of last weekend when the Superpets movie came out.

    Apparently there's a listing for a "Trick or Treat" Halloween DTV on Amazon.

    It’s a bit like “Taxi-Driver 2”, a new dating reality show from the team that brought you American Pie.
