Demo anon,

I don't believe that to be true for a variety of factors. There's more things that they are considering and we already know that doesn't matter to CBS.

Here's what I say - look at what is actually happening. Look at which shows are being cancelled (more is coming) and the factors of those shows.

For example, with StarGirl, it wasn't about viewers or demo, but about other factors. That show was expensive and it's harder for expensive shows to turn a profit. WB is also taking the DC line in a new direction. What makes a show "safe" on CW has changed, which is why the people who predict which shows who survive are posting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ about current CW shows unless they are absolutely in the tank.

Kung Fu was specifically mentioned as a show that the execs were considering keeping and that doesn't have high numbers or demos.

Dan Lin choosing us over a bigger paycheck is my HERO origin story. Cool man. Love his ethics on diversity & management. Might mean one thing in DC I'd hoped for off the table, but that's development, yanno?

I hope the next person has the same drive, but I hear those people are being pushed out. We will see.

I don't watch CNN, but I saw people are already noticing a more conservative tone shift.

Dan Lin no longer in talks

Dan Lin won’t be taking over WBDC. From this Hollywood Reporter article.

Sources say a number of factors complicated talks with Warner Bros. Discovery with a chief sticking point being Lin’s commitments to Rideback, his prolific production company, and Rideback Rise, his new non-profit endeavor. Negotiations went into salary and vision, but Rideback remained a complication. One scenario envisioned WBD taking an equity stake in the company, although the size was always unclear.

I’m disappointed, but also relieved in a way. I had hoped Dan Lin would get the job because Zaslav is conservative and has been replacing minorities and women with white men. Dan Lin’s Rideback Rise focuses on BIPOC-Created Content.

While I was hopeful that Dan’s inclusion would mean that BIPOC-Created Content would get greater consideration at the new WB, I was also concerned that his company wouldn’t be able to promote those works under more conservative figureheads.

To be clear, there’s a difference in projects that Jensen was producing and projects in which Jensen was acting. It’s possible for those roles to overlap, but I’ve yet to see any credible information for this about Strange Adventures. My sources tell me that Chaos Machine was not involved at all in the production of Strange Adventures and the news articles that reported as such have since been corrected.

This also doesn’t mean that Jensen won’t be in future WBDC projects or that there aren’t projects in the work because WB hasn’t killed all their DC projects, just some of them while they are going through a restructuring. They said themselves that they do plan to do more projects in the Batman universe, so it’s very possible that we will see him again in more roles in the Batman universe.

From an article posted August 2022

During the company’s latest earnings call, Zaslav reassured both fans and Wall Street that the studio is hoping to emulate the success of Marvel Studios with its own decade-long roadmap and a dedicated team behind it. “You look at Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman — these are brands that are known everywhere in the world,” the executive emphasized. “We have done a reset. We’ve restructured the business where we are going to focus, where there is going to be a team with a 10-year plan focusing just on DC. We believe we can build a much more sustainable business.”

The redirection in efforts comes just two days after Warner Bros. canceled Batgirl, an HBO Max film that already spent seven months in production and cost the studio an estimated $90 million USD. Perhaps in response to the decision, Zaslav added that as part of the new structure, “we are going to focus on quality. We are not going to release any film before it’s read… DC is something we can make better.”

He concludes: “The objective is to grow the DC brand. To grow the DC characters. But also, our job is to protect the DC brand, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

So people saying that Jensen’s project was cancelled are incorrect (and the articles that claimed it have been corrected). People saying that Jensen won’t be part of the WBDC universe moving forward or that all of Jensen’s WBDC projects were cancelled are also incorrect because there’s a difference in producing and acting. There’s also a difference between companies dropping the IP versus placing content on hold while they restructure. Yes, they dropped that Batgirl movie, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see Batgirl in another form of media. Basically, we need to wait to see if Chaos Machine is renewed or not before we’ll have any idea about content Jensen is producing, but even if CM goes go under, that doesn’t mean so does the content where Jensen is acting.

Personally, I get the impression that Jensen enjoys acting way more than producing, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he also dropped CM to focus more on acting. I could also see him keeping it to work on the reboot/revival.

I feel like I’m doing a terrible job of explaining all this, but does that make sense?
