A "What if?" can always be fun, but the TMNT joining something like the DCU or MCU would be the worst thing that could happen. They wouldn't be unique, or alone or anything, and no one would even bat an eye at them because there'd be far weirder things everyday going on. They wouldn't even need to live in a sewer.

Maybe it would be better idea if they can travel between their universe and DCU so they are in DCU when they are needed and James Gunn to also work on movies set in TMNT universe if merger happens, this way Turtles would still be in their universe with only appearing in DCU when needed maybe Mister Terrefic and Donnie can work on some portal that allows them to travel to DCU and vice versa, also DCU characters visiting maybe TMNT universe in some movies would also be good idea maybe

If this were happen, then Paramount+ and HBO Max would merge. I wonder if Paramount would then make their films available on Movies Anywhere since Warner Bros. films are available there.

If he had no hands on the story or screenplay then I would probably agree with you.

But Gunn has his... Tropes when given full creative control. I don't want to see Klunk be some animal mascot for a Turtles movie nor do I want see the Turtles turned into another misfits story when that was never its core appeal.

Probably, also if this merger happens you are probably right that we might get more TMNT and DC crossovers probably also crossovers in DCU where Turtles would probably stay in their universe but some dimensional travel to transport them to DCU and like I wrote in earlier comment they to have dimensional travelling machine to come maybe to DCU when needed, also I imagine that they would bring Rick Flag Sr attention moment they are accidentally transported to DCU maybe

Well his movies are good maybe in my opinion he can balance comedy and serious well, his TMNT movies would not be like Michael Bay TMNT movies in terms of writing maybe

They're all making crap so it doesn't matter. I mean it does mean one less streaming service all the catalog will go to only one so that seems good...
but one less studio to make stuff so despite having more IP available it'll mean less stuff being made out of them. And all under one leadership will also mean less differences in product. But we go back to the beginning where they're all just doing crap so it doesn't really matter.

[nidza_maj2000]

So imagine this kind of interaction between TMNT and Gorilla Grodd if merger happens and TMNT really come to DCU temporaly and when they are needed, here it is: https://youtu.be/DT-v57ffdB4?si=2tx8nDwcxwbxik5L this is from Injustice 2 game but something similar could happen in DCU maybe

Here's an analysis of what a merger between the studios would mean.

Well part that they would have less movies a year if this merger happens might be concerning but I am sure they can negotate this and for example let James Gunn still make DC movies and release them as planned maybe if this merger happens, one of good things of this merger would be that TMNT, Sonic and Transformers could occassionally crossover in DCU but not to live in that universe, just this characters from abother universes sometimes crossing over in DCU maybe

Warner Bros can say no to Paramount and Netflix and I do not mind them being bought by either of them as long as this does not affect DCU because that universe is good so far

[ranger_scout]

Paramount is more for the theatrical business than Netflix is. So, I think theater owners would prefer if Paramount bought Warner Bros. Discovery.

[ranger_scout]

Paramount is preparing its bid to buy Warner Bros. Discovery.

They are apparently making a $60 billion bid.

I am just hoping if they buy Warner Bros that James Gunn and his DC Universe will stay and it most likely will

These deals take a long time to settle, so even if they want to change things it won't be in the short term, (next 5 years). they said they had a 10-year plan for DC, so it could change things up for the second half, but I'm guessing that second half there's nothing concrete, just ideas in general and even if no sale happened, there's no indication that Discovery the current owner would continue with their 10 year plan. We've seen how flaky DC is with their plans and how much they changed the DCEU everytime a movie underperformed. So it's not like the 10 year plan is a sure thing either with them.

I would just not worry about it, and enjoy the universe as it is being molded.

You are probably right
