Nobody is complaining that stargirl or any other characters are getting space, on the contrary that should be the case, giving space to lesser known characters.
But honestly saying that Aquaman is being used by DC is far fetched, making him a Nazi sympathizer as in the latest animation has pissed Aquafans and certainly not a manner of exploiting movie success. Just as having him as a wallpaper in justice league apokolips war, in which he doesn't even say a word. Is that making use of him?
Aquaman this year is celebrating his 80th anniversary and what he gets till now? NOTHING. Maybe in the fall we will get something. Aquaman is not getting an ongoing. but books with similar sales to his, got one. The official reason given was that they are looking at the best take. I agree that having a book for the sake of having one is not ideal, but for heavens sake does it take nearly a year to decide? No excuses please of layoffs they are working on other books but not Aquaman its seems.
BTW sparing some of your best talent on minor characters and promoting those characters can't do bad, it can help DC not over rely on the usual characters to stay afloat, and yes the impression that some are not pleased that certain characters can do well is not entirely wrong.
John's New52 Aquaman was doing extremely well, one would be inclined to think that DC was glad that a character that never delivered, was finally doing so. Instead they removed Johns. Johns was ready to write Aquaman for 100issues but he was taken off the book by Didio, and the abrupt end of his run shows a higher input ended that.
Aquaman merchandise before the movie was lacking and after the movie it is still lacking. No effort has been done to correct that.
Exploiting a success brought by movies does not mean having a Tv Show, I understand also that an Aquaman one would not be an easy one to make, taking in account that it must mainly be an underwater scenario, to create those effects require time and money.
New 52 Aquaman was probably the best ever in terms of critical success and sales. It was DC itself that brought to an end that Aquaman run. Keep in mind that people at DC told Johns and Reis that it was a waste of time. Probably envious that they had been proven wrong, they had Johns taken of.

Yeah, if you're a DC fan, basically nothing is going to change. This is just another corporate merger to create an even larger company with more IPs. AT&T is still going to own the majority share of DC Comics or rather the company that runs it.

This is good. Hope it's not all part of the same shared universes - I'd love to have 3 or 4 different Superman shows or cartoons or movies with different takes on the character. I'm not a fan of the direction they decided on for Superman and Lois and would like some content free from that family drama teen son angst stuff.
