HARLEY QUINN apparently surviving Warner Bros’ Culling Moon?

In case you’ve missed it: this has not been a great time to be a content provider for DC comics (and shows). A new broom has arrived, and its bristles are made out of barbed wire. Lots of projects have been, canceled, finished, and in one particular case, buried alive. For those unfamiliar with this sort of thing, this is what the end of a boom cycle looks like. Product that would have been kept around in more cash-flush times will get the ax, and there’s no ruthless like entertainment company ruthless. This is simply the way of it*.

But HARLEY QUINN‘s still standing! “According to Entertainment Identifier Registry (via Screen Rant), which is what media companies use to manage content that is being released on multiple platforms, Warner Bros. Animation has already registered Harley Quinn season four.” This is probably mostly because HARLEY QUINN seasons one through three do not actually suck — which surprised me, too: I thought that they would. It would appear that this is also being translated into sufficient eyeballs that the studio is willing to do another season of the show.

This implies something about the shows that did get canceled and/or bricked up in a cellar, but it’s not nice to kick things when they’re down.

PS: They’ll probably still keep the Flash movie going, because apparently audiences liked the Flash movie. It’ll likely be a one-and-done, though. Either that, or they fit Ezra Miller with a shock collar. And don’t think Hollywood executives wouldn’t like to have access to that option in general.

*The real question, though: what happens to DC’s print comics lines? – Because a lot of those haven’t made money in years.
