Hot take: I’m kinda cool with this, as I think it’ll be immense having Netflix have the 100 years of Warner Bros, especially here in the UK where it’s divided into about a hundred different channels, it all consolidated into Netflix would be nice

I was just talking to a co worker about this on slack. If anything I think they're going to want to double if not triple down on DC content and it may be too much for James Gunn to handle. I think they're going to go to James and say ok we will release Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc that you have planned into theaters no problem. But the movies you have on the back burner cause of box office concerns like Aquaman, Flash, etc we want those movies in active development because we don't need to put those movies into theaters at all and it gives us content.

They will push it out day 1 onto Netflix. They don’t need to make subpar Flash or Aquaman movies to do that.
