It's crazy how Invincible pushed people's interest to buy and read the comics. HC collection and the Compendiums are selling like hotcakes. Even BC did a piece on this https://bleedingcool.com/comics/invi...c-novels-2021/.

The thing is it is not that crazy books and manga similar get a boost when they release a show or movies. If the content of trade/graphic novel comes anywhere close to what is on screen you can see boost in sales. One of these days comics companies will restructure some to take advantage of this phenomena.
To my knowledge, Watchmen, WandaVision and Invincible are the adaptations which gave comic books a significant bump.
As to the topic at hand:
-Has any of the DTV movies have had a corresponding toyline?
-What I got from Invincible's success is that Marvel has almost completely dominated the 'Family Friendly Superhero Movie/Show' outing but other companies (or just mostly Amazon Prime in this case) is able to compete by releasing ultra violent, satirical takes on superheroes that goes in directions that they know Marvel won't go in. The amount of times I've seen people online in non superhero related communities and videos bringing up The Boys or sharing that Invincible memes along with the casual mention of Marvel is crazy.
With this and Spiderverse it just begs to question why DC isnt investing in a "high budget" modern day JL animated series or animated movie. Im going to assume the DTVs.
Correction the last JL animated movie made 5 million between the period of May 24 2020 to July 5 2020

I do however agree with you.
It depends on what the contract a show or movie has. Some show need toys for their budget and others don't. Like Family Guy and Fox shows.I don't recall Harley Quinn getting a toy line either, and that's a popular show, too.
The Simpson held one for 16 waves and could have done 17 and STILL could do a toyline.
Static Shock never got toys either and only Digimon had higher ratings.
Those shows have to be renewed rather early to give studios time to animate everything.But is just a show that got renewed and many shows yearly get renewed.
Also some take longer to get renewals because x number of episodes have already been made. King of the Hill and some of Adult Swim say hi.
When you have material for folks to buy-that tends to happen.It's crazy how Invincible pushed people's interest to buy and read the comics. HC collection and the Compendiums are selling like hotcakes.
You should have saw Black Panther and the almost 3 year dominance in trade sales after that movie. It was EVERYTHING Black Panther including the Coates era and BP The Crew & World of Wakanda.
This is why folks scream about putting out material even if it's a mini for those shows or movies. You are going to make that money back.
Yes they do but not always under the title of that DTV movie.-Has any of the DTV movies have had a corresponding toyline?
They might do figures in the main line. Lets say Dc Universe toyline will toss out New Frontier Hal Jordan versus a line called New Frontier. Just to save money in packaging.
