It's not that DC's way is worse, it's that the ceiling for the shows would be higher if they were on a service that more people had access to.Are they gonna keep the comics in the Warner steaming? Like, Marvel has their comics subscription, but DC has both comics and media together...why is it that DC's way is worse?
they should release the snyder cut if they're letting ray and ezra go
never say never

Better solution, actually open the app globally and port to consoles. Problem solved.
If they are relying on licensing elsewhere, in what way does apparently putting Doom Patrol on HBO help? And if Warner legit puts all their holding into that streaming service it's gonna be hella expensive as they have a shit ton of content. Or they are just gonna have tiers which makes it really not that appetizing. And then they are gonna add it's comics on there too? Seems a bit too much. We'd go round to the original problem that all of Warners content is separate.You're not thinking financially. Marvel Unlimited doesn't fund comics, shows, or anything else; they've already sold the comic beforehand and the sub service is just capturing folks that sorta want to read comics. They're charging access to comics that have already paid for themselves. itsfreemoney.gif DC Universe funds the actual DC Universe content, like the daily show, Titans, Doom Patrol, etc.
The problem is DCU isn't quite big enough to reach the broad audience (since the season airs first in the US, to subs only) to make the venture financially strong, so they're likely relying on the revenue from licensing elsewhere. (Titans on Netflix.) I'd roll the shows up into WarnerMedia streaming and the comics service as a value-add you get access to if you have a WarnerMedia sub. (Like Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Manga, same subscription, two different apps/services.)
Who said anything about putting them on HBO? WarnerMedia streaming will offering HBO yes, but that will likely be its own service as well, as HBO is entirely too poular to cut completely. WM is about all of your eggs in one basket, having folks who are watching GoT or Watchmen, perhaps also watching Doom Patrol or Titans. The big tent. There is currently no cross-pollination, which would help things like DCU far more than they would HBO.If they are relying on licensing elsewhere, in what way does apparently putting Doom Patrol on HBO help?
WarnerMedia streaming is already coming, it's a done deal. Disney+ is $6.99. CBS All Access is $5.99. Netflix is $12.99. HBO Now is $14.99. AT&T has already said that HBO subs will likely get access to WarnerMedia streaming, and WM will probably costs a little more than HBO Now.And if Warner legit puts all their holding into that streaming service it's gonna be hella expensive as they have a shit ton of content.

We'd go round to the original problem that all of Warners content is separate.
We'd first have to get some type of data from AT&T, as far as their earnings report this year, I didn't see anything about DCU specifically. So at the moment any type of doom for it seems a bit early. However, like Ross stated, a good start would to actually have this app available around the world instead of just the US.
In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, AT&T addressed the significant costs of launching such a venture.
"We expect financial support to launch this product to come from a combination of incremental efficiencies within the WarnerMedia operations, consolidating resources from sub-scale D2C efforts, fallow library content, and technology reuse," AT&T said in the filing. "We expect to defer some licensing revenues to later periods in the form of increased customer subscription revenues."
By "sub-scale D2C efforts," AT&T is likely referring to existing WarnerMedia properties such as Boomerang (featuring classic cartoons), DramaFever (a Korean programming service) and the fledgling DC Universe streaming platform. It's understood that those ventures will be rolled into the larger new service in an effort to cut operating costs and more quickly aggregate audiences by offering a wider menu of programs.

Dramafever was shuttered rather soon after those comments, as licensing costs for Korean/Japanese/Chinese drama went way up. There's huge upheaval at TNT/TBS in prep for WarnerMedia streaming. HBO CEO Richard Pepler resigned after damn near 30 years, partially because of AT&T restructuring around WarnerMedia. Crunchyroll, which has 12 million subscribers, is already being reorganized under WarnerMedia. (It just raised its prices for the first time since launch, post-acquisition.) So your argument is DC Universe is vastly outperforming all those divisions to the point it won't be touched?
It's not doom, per se. DC is a strong part of WB, DC Universe is ahead of expectations, and I'm certain the shows will continue to be produced. It's just a matter of whether that will continue under their own bespoke app and service. Especially since they already confirmed more original DC content for WarnerMedia; why produce for DCU and WarnerMedia separately?
Licensing deal within the company tho. They just need to stop being stupid and release internationally.
We still barely know what the new WarnerMedia server is and that does not bold well.
TruTV is laying off most of its marketing and programming staffers, who will receive severance packages as part of exit deals similar to those at other units of WarnerMedia. The company has been streamlining and consolidating since AT&T acquired Time Warner for $81 billion in 2018. The restructuring accelerated in February, when the federal government ended its pursuit of an antitrust lawsuit seeking to block the merger.
Deadline has confirmed the truTV departures are close to 50, or nearly 40% of the network's workforce. The departments are not shutting down completely, with small programming and marketing teams to remain when the network team joins other New York divisions next week at WarnerMedia's new HQ in Hudson Yards.
WarnerMedia's restructuring across all its divisions has includes offering voluntary buyouts — at CNN this month, more than 100 workers took them amid the move to Hudson Yards. Similar offerings were undertaken at HBO and Turner as WarnerMedia parent AT&T is looking to restructure and reduce what was $170 billion in net debt as of the end of 2018.

TL;DR - AT&T owns a whole lot of shit, each with their own apps and services, but the company is being reorganized for WarnerMedia, so you should expect a ton of upheaval there. DC Universe will likely be a part of that.
Those are merely licensed. Original content is currently produced for CW (legacy, related to the ongoing Berlanti deal), and DCUniverse. Further DC stuff after Stargirl (Summer) and Titans Season 2 (Fall) will likely be under the same banner. The argument is whether that's WM or not.As for why would WarnerMedia produce DC stuff separately, we are legit already seeing it. We have Fox/Netfix , CW, HBO, and DCU, that all have their own DC content. Fox/Netflix, are more just licensed out.
ITS NOT FUCKING FAIR
James Gunn made Dave Bautista, a Raccoon and a tree work. I love Bautista, but he owes a lot of his career to Gunn understanding how to play to his strengths. Trust Gunn.Of all the characters to bring back. He was one of the least interesting characters in the film. Maybe even the least.
Rope guy was more memorable.

Rick Flagg is a pretty important character to the Suicide Squad. It's just that it was a horrible portrayal in the movie. I'm HOPING it was the direction and writing more than the acting, and he'll end up being better in the Gunn-directed movie.Of all the characters to bring back.

Honestly think it was a lot of the acting. He was miscast. Not that his writing did him any favors but I just didn't buy him in the role.Rick Flagg is a pretty important character to the Suicide Squad. It's just that it was a horrible portrayal in the movie.

Hes the one role I wanted them to just recast.

Nah, he loved the script. If he was a good judge of script than he wouldn't have sign unto Venom.I think it's more he saw that script and fucking bounced
Kino Man is a solid actor, and I'm sure can put in some decent work with the right director. I won't judge him from SS or Altered Carbon. Plus he's got a great physique.
He probably got paid way more for Venom though, since he was the lead and I think has a producer creditNah, he loved the script. If he was a good judge of script than he wouldn't have sign unto Venom.
what then?
The one scene where he fights Ryan Reynolds in Safe House was neat
wasnt he in predator?The one scene where he fights Ryan Reynolds in Safe House was neat
that was actually Boyd Holbrook, the southern dude from Logan
And S1-2 of Narcos

Neither based on that thread. As Disney will do their version before WB, and since that will be successful WB will can it's movie.
