DC is its own studio now, James and Peter decided what gets greenlit, not WB. So no reason to fear of anything being cut or canceled. Everything he announced is still in development and getting made, but it’s only in production once a script is turned in. For example he didn’t include Booster Gold because even tho they announced the team developing it. Until the script is done it’s not greenlit which means given a budget to build the sets and begin casting. Superman wasn’t even Greenlit yet when he announced it cause he was still writing the script. Same reason he didn’t say Matt reeves Batman is greenlit cause the script isnt done.
I think maybe there was a misunderstanding in what I was saying. I wasn’t saying projects are getting cancelled. My worry was that projects that were announced that I was excited for wouldn’t get greenlit and therefore be cancelled. That’s why I also mentioned in the episode things could still move forward but in a different capacity. Ie we’re probably gonna get the paradise lost show BUT it might not end up being the game-of-throne-esque story I was interested in seeing
Greenlit means you have a script by James definition. Don't make it harder that it needs to be. From my understanding one of the main complaints from directors is a lot of times movies start production and start shooting and the 3rd act is not finished or ever finished being written; leaving the director to figure it out. My guess is James is trying to come off as director friendly to attract top talent.
I somewhat understand your concerns but Feige does this as well, announces titles and projects that may be made but not all come to fruition.

Idk why this guy thinks any projects are getting cancelled, he’s clearly misunderstood what james gunn was saying
