That's disappointing that Titans and Doom Patrol are ending, but at least they're going out on their own terms. At this point, all HBO Max has to do is cancel Harley Quinn and I'll drop my membership.

The new universe and ss still there. Non canon films are "elseworlds projects".

IDK if it fits here since the DCEU is over, but Gunn just dropped some of his slate in his announcement video, and it was interesting and unexpected for some of it.

Also it’s announced that The Batman: Part II is coming October 3rd, 2025.

Fascinating.

I didn't expect Swamp Thing to return, or Creature Commandoes.

And love for Wildstorm is nice.

Also Gunn said for animation stuff, basically we will see characters from animated stuff go to live action and vice versa. And that those that voice actors that voice character in animation will transition to live action.

New DCU thread works. But yeah that’s probably what this will be for now.

Let's keep this thread on about the old DCEU.

Okay, so as far as I know all this universe has left is Aquaman 2, Shazam 2, the Flash film and maybe Peacemaker Season 2, Blue Beetle and Wonder Woman 3.

Except--suicide squad is still here with its history, weasel is in the animated show and Waller is back and--

He also said the four leads of those films could potentially return to their roles in DCU projects down the line. “There is nothing that prohibits that from happening,” said Gunn.

So, it's not a full reboot but just batman and superman get rebooted? Confused? Also, aquaman 2 still canon?

Momoa's DCU situation has been a big mystery ever since the Aquaman star began hyping a mystery project with Gunn and Safran. Earlier reports initially indicated that after Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, there were no further plans for him to portray Arthur Curry. But that is where the Lobo speculation began, and based on their statements this week, there is no locked deal yet for Momoa to play the iconic bounty hunter. It sounds as if they will commit to Aquaman 3, especially if the upcoming sequel is a massive success when it hits theaters this December.

Given the DCU will start with the new Superman reboot, it seems likely the DCU's Aquaman and Flash will be played by new actors. If Aquaman and The Flash sequels are greenlit, that might give the DCEU a continuation as an Elseworlds franchise, or they could be incorporated into the main DCU. Still, the DCU may go in a new direction for Flash and Aquaman, particularly with the speedster, as there are other heroes that have carried the mantle. Until the DCU reveals any more plans about the respective heroes, fans can catch The Flash and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom in theaters later this year.

He's quite literally repeating the mistakes of The New 52 by not doing a full reboot

Just saw this:
‘Batgirl’ Was ‘Not Releasable’ and ‘Would Have Hurt Those People Involved,’ Says Peter Safran (msn.com)

“I saw the movie,” Safran said at the DC presentation in Los Angeles. “There were a lot of incredibly talented people in front of and behind the camera on that film. But that film was not releasable. It happens sometimes. That film was not releasable.”

He added, “I actually think that [David] Zaslav and the team made a very bold and courageous decision to cancel it, because it would’ve hurt DC, it would’ve hurt those people involved. I think they really stood up to support DC, the characters, the story, the quality and all that.”

Safran added that he spoke with filmmakers El Arbi and Fallah just one week ago.

“We’d love to be in business with all of those folks,” Safran said. “Christina Hodson, the writer, she’s somebody we’re already back in business with. A lot of talented people involved, but the film was just not releasable. It would not have been able to compete in the theatrical marketplace. It was built for the small screen. I think it was not an easy decision, but they made the right decision by shelving it.”

El Arbi and Fallah were announced today to be helming “Bad Boys 4” with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reprising their respective roles. As for “Batgirl,” the co-directors previously disputed claims that the film was not up to par.

“The guys from Warners told us it was not a talent problem from our part or the actress, or even the quality of the movie,” El Arbi said in August 2022. “They told us it was a strategic change. There was new management, and they wanted to save some money.”

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO Zaslav called “Batgirl” a casualty of restructuring DC amid a “reset” before Safran and co-DC Studios head James Gunn were announced in their respective positions.

“It’s very similar to the structure that Alan Horn and Bob Iger put together very effectively with Kevin Feige at Disney,” Zaslav said. “We think we could build a long-term, much more sustainable growth business out of DC, and as part of that, we’re going to focus on quality.”

As for “Batgirl,” he added, “We’re not going to release any film before it’s ready…The focus is going to be, how do we make each of these films, in general, as good as possible? DC is something we can make better, and we’re focused on it now.”
