    According to reports, the movie cost around $72 million and involved Hollywood personalities like John Cena and James Gunn as producers.

    Warner Bros. cited a shift in global strategy towards focusing on theatrical releases as the reason for this decision. The studio expressed respect for the filmmakers, cast, and crew, acknowledging their contributions to the project.

    This decision follows similar actions taken with the shelving of Batgirl and Scoobi Holiday Haunt in August 2022, both originally intended for streaming. They were subsequently shelved as a tax write-down amid efforts to find savings within the company.
