DC Media: TV Shows, Animated Movies and Video Games

[Primal Slayer]

Agreed. TheCW has at least one more year left for original content just like WB/UPN did before they closed their doors in May. But it's funny that it was 15 year anniversary for WB/UPN closing just 3 months ago and here we are.

By the sound of it not much is going to change:

I think a first year it wouldnt but unless they have some type of deal....they would have to buy/rent these properties from WB/CBS and other networks which is even more costly than it is now. That's losing even more money in the long run.

WarnerMedia and ViacomCBS exploring possible sale of CW Network. Nexstar is leading suitor

Wonder what impact this will have on DC programming on the network

Honestly WB is so bad at synergy that it could actually make the stuff better handled.

UPN and the WB were so much better than the CW.

To be honest I don't remember people making as many WB jokes as they do CW.

Nobody was making any jokes about CWseed.

How many people actually knew about CWseed...except for when DC cartoons used to premier there...

The CW basically became a meme for low budget, corny superhero stuff from what I can see on twitter. It does have a fanbase so I expect the content to mostly stick around going forward

My understanding is that this Nextstar doesn't exactly have it's own programming lined up so it kind of has to rely on the Warners stuff.

I feel like people give the shows a bad rap. I'm not saying the shows don't have their issues or their own cliche's, but they've achieved a lot of stuff no one would have expected from TV comic book adaptions of the time.

In my opinion, the CW shows are mostly played out anyway. Superman and Lois is pretty much the only thing that's building up right now. Flash HAS to be winding down... it's been metaphorically running in place for at least 3 seasons now. Legends has become a parody of itself... Black Lightning, Supergirl and Supernatural are all finished. There was a time when probably 70% of my favorite shows were all on CW, but they've either finished or grown stale and not much has come out to replace them.

If this season was the end for everything on CW... Superman and Lois is the only one I'd really 'miss'.

They are fast food tv. Easy to watch, tastes good in the moment but not necessarily the best thing you should be eating. It's a good way to get your foot in the door either as a writer or actor.

You said it best.

The writing of these shows are barely above fan fiction level. It temporarily satiates people's craving for more superheroes on screen but it's certainly not the best version of these character and most are not even close to being the best adaptation of a DC character.

If the Arrow-verse does end, I’ll miss unabashed wacky nonsense like this:
