There’s no way for them to get rid of $55b in debt. Zaslav will have to dismantle most of the company and even then it won’t be enough.

^This.
In order to make money you also have to spend money first and every cent spent is going to add to the debt. The only way to starve off debt is to cancel projects and to sell parts of your company.
The other option is to do more collaborations so somebody else can pay for part of your projects and you can still net some income.

Screenwriter Mattson Tomlin is once again heeding the call of the Bat-signal.

This time around, Tomlin is coming in on the ground floor.Tomlin worked on Batman and also made his comic book debut writing a Batman mini-series titled Batman: The Imposter, drawn by Andrea Sorrentino and released in 2021 to strong reviews. Tomlin is now working on BRZRKR, Netflix’s adaptation of the Boom! Studios book co-created by Keanu Reeves.
Good to know The Batman is safe. I wonder if we’ll hear any news on films for DCEU post-Flash?

To read more go here.Earlier this month, Warner Bros. Discovery kicked off a wave of cancellations and cost-cutting measures by scrapping DC’s $90 million “Batgirl” movie starring Leslie Grace, which was already in post-production. In a new interview with French outlet Skript, “Batgirl” co-directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah revealed that the studio blocked their access to footage after axing the film.

Batgirl Footage Erased?! Matt Reeves Warner Bros Discovery Deal, Only Murders Season 2 Finale
Good to hear that Reeves’ Batman is getting a sequel. It made money and was liked by critics and fans. That’s a rare feat these days for a DC project. Unfortunately it also propagates the image that all WB can get right is Batman.
It’s sucks but it’s not surprising. As you said, the studio had to erase all footage and prevent it from ever getting out or they would be in huge trouble with the IRS. They’ve already taken the $100 million write off. If that movie gets released and anyone gets a profit it could be a federal crime.
