It took one year for Microsoft to buy Activision because it is the biggest technology company and Activision is one of the biggest video games company. WB is one of the biggest companies too and Netflix si the biggest streaming chenell which is why it takes so much time.

[Andrew NDB]

"The settlement terms include a commitment to release 30 movies a year; a multiyear pledge to remain in California, after previously threatening to exit; and independent editorial boards for CBS News and CNN, sources told The Post."

So there's the rub. Also, huh? "WGA obtained a concession from Paramount “to prohibit writer layoffs at CBS News Broadcast for 5 years.”" Why would CBS News need writers?

Edit: I don't understand why so many folks seem to doubt the "30 movies a year" thing. You realize not EVERY movie needs to be a 90-200 million dollar budgeted thing? WB could do 10 big budget movies and like 20 small, 5-15 million dollar budgeted films and throw them to like Obsession/Backrooms indie guys and they'd be fulfilling their yearly commitment.

Here's all the major franchises that will be under the same roof now that Paramount will own Warner Bros.

This means the long-running reality TV series Survivor and Harry Potter will be under the same roof. When I was a teenager and young adult I used to pretend that I was Harry Potter and contestants from Survivor were either heroes or villains from the Wizarding World franchise. Examples being Colby Donaldson as Sirius Black, Rupert Boneham as Hagrid, Amber Brkich Mariano as Hermione, Tina Wesson as Molly Weasley, Richard Hatch as Voldemort, Jerri Manthey as Bellatrix Lestrange, Lex van den Berghe as Lucius Malfoy, and Johnny Fairplay as Draco Malfoy. I would also pretend that Colby would do this Lex like Sirius did to Lucius.

It's strange the only thing I care about this is what happens to the TMNT franchise. I'm sure James Gunn's universe will continue regardless, Star Trek's current shows are all over already, and Avatar just has another show that doesn't look great.

TMNT is the only question mark. How much longer IDW will hold the license, what the next big live-action TMNT movie could be.

The only thing that's different now is the comic book factor, the question of if they'll let the IDW license expire and publish TMNT at their in house studio, DC. Skydance already bought Paramount and thus bought the TMNT well over a year ago now so the people at the top with TMNT post-WB acquisition are the same people at the top that they were that well over a year ago. And we've already seen what the Skydance people did when they took charge. They cancelled the Last Ronin movie and apparently greenlit both Mutant Mayhem 2 and 3. But then also this nebulous new live action movie with, what was it, SNL writers?

it's just lame to call this company Skydance even if that is the controlling company in this merger.

But that's the thing about mergers. There is no "controlling company" when the dust settles. It's just one big thing. And from what I'm reading they will still trot out the Paramount and WB's names/logos still for films, interchangeably.

[nidza_maj2000]

So Victorious spin off series Hollywood Arts and Harry Potter series will be among first series released by Skydance company, season 2 of both shows will be fully produced by this new company, well for Hollywood Arts series at least if it gets greenlighted because season 2 of Harry Potter series is already filming, season 3 will be first to be fully made by this company also Clayface movie will be among first movies released by this company

[ZariusTwo]

Well, of course. They have a contract. Once that's up and Man of Tomorrow fails, though...

Yeah, context is key. There's no new slate for DC projects announced just yet and two key allies at WB are being shown the door, with Zaslav himself to follow.

Gunn has to stay at the moment to show there's a sense of unity, but he still has to deliver at the box office, or Man of Tomorrow stops everything.

The Dark Knight trilogy is mentioned instead of just Batman and Superman is there as it's own thing, as opposed to Superman and Batman just being rolled into DC. Friends, a TV show that ended over 20 years ago, is on there as well. Shark Week is also not a franchise of its own, it's a programming block which is a dying concept in the streaming era.

Some of these may indeed still be very popular among people (I'm not into reality shows, so I don't know) but there are some clear biases here. Maybe Friends is doing extremely well in reruns and maybe the Dark Knight trilogy outperforms the rest of the Batman franchise if not all of DC, I'm just not sure labelling either as "major franchise" really works.

[Andrew NDB]

It'd be kind of more surprising if they didn't do that, really.

Imagine DC trying to make the entrance of the TMNT into the DC universe some kind of mega comic crossover event. I could see it, if just so DC could see a temporary sales spike.

Maybe TMNT will be transported to DC comics universe, not IDW Turtles, new versions

It would definitely be a new version.

Yes, of course

[Andrew NDB]

Which would be a neat thing if they ever got multiversal. You could have the DC Turtles meeting the IDW Turtles, or the Mirage or Archie Turtles.

I'd still be really surprised if TMNT become a permanent actual part of the DC universe. And not just crossovers like IDW did before, but a "permanent" mainstay of DC going forward, as in new versions of the Turtles who will always exist among DC superheroes going forward. Same for any new movies or cartoon versions in the future.

I still see them keeping TMNT separate from the rest of DC, aside from stuff like the usual non-canon crossovers we had from IDW.

[Andrew NDB]

You know what they'd do. You'd see stuff like one of the Turtles joining the Teen Titans, maybe Raphael joining the Suicide Squad, stuff like that.

They might have crossover with Teen Titans once DC start publishing TMNT, also Teen Titans Go might now really do crossover with TMNT after doing a parody crossover almost 12 years ago

Wouldn't mind Warner Animation doing the next TMNT series.

Hopefully announcements about new projects will came soon

With how much they cancel cartoons? Caped Crusader is unlikely to get a third season, we also don't know what's going on with My Adventures with Superman. Young Justice got canceled for a much worse revival. Let alone Beware the Batman, Justice League Adventures who got canceled early. Or even worse if I mention Teen Titans Go.

DC animation hasn't had a hit (outside Teen Titans), since Brave and the Bold back in 2008.

Maybe TTG will do actual crossover with TMNT unlike that parody crossover episode from 2015

TMNT can always get the Knightfall animation treatment, that's proving a hit so far, but even then, the DC animation movies since Flashpoint Paradox have been an acquired taste.

They did a decent job in that Batman vs TMNT movie

[Andrew NDB]

I remember DC Animation was doing OK with its shared universe movies that followed the Flashpoint storyline. Did that stop or something? They run out of stories they deemed worth adapting? They should have started doing story arc by story arc everything from Grant Morrison's JLA run and they would have been solid for decades.

Yes the dc animated that did flashpoint stopped with Justice League Dark Apkolips War. Than the next animated movies in the tommorowverse started and ended with Crisis on Infinite Earths 3 parter
