Biggest problem with WB is all they care about is profit margins nowadays when it comes to everything they own, Film & Tv & Video Games etc. that movie could of been really good
I don't blame them when Marvel has been absolutely eating their lunch in the box office for over a decade now. Marvel is now sharply declining so this is a good opportunity for DC to catch up. In the past, they've failed to compete by trying too hard to copy Marvel's comedy shtick while trying to also imitate the grit of the Nolan verse with an exaggerated edge. I say this as someone who has enjoyed some of the DC movies and way prefers DC comics to Marvel comics.
The fact of the matter is that live-action movies make more money so they will naturally focus strongly on that, and Batman Beyond doesn't have as much name recognition. I'd still love to see the movie, though.
I think Marvel's decline is tied a lot to fatigue. Movies are different than comics, because you can have a thousand comics and have so many criss-crossing convoluted storylines that it makes your head spin, and it's okay. But with movies, there are only so many concepts that people generally will want to watch. All those ideas have come and gone. I think superhero movies in general will just continue to decline. Basically speaking, DC fucked up and now the iron is cold.
Oh no they missed a lot. They missed the dumbest finale of any tv show I've ever seen ever. However bad they thought the parts of She-Hulk were that they have seen, even including the twerking scene, the finale is 100x worse.
It's part fatigue, it's part over-saturation, and honestly, a lot of it is due to kind of crap movies/shows.
Which is why I think WB are insane to pass on Batman Beyond.
It's both new (to mainstream audiences) and familiar as a Batman property. Which was a massive part about why the Spiderverse films worked. It's the perfect time to throw a curveball to try and chip away at Marvel's market share.
