What else has been going on at HBO Max?
The animated Batman: Caped Crusader series has been on the market for a while, and Abrams and his team have been pitching it, but it is not approaching the platform now. Cost-cutting measures have also been taken; earlier this summer, HBO decided not to go through with the expensive Demimonde produced by Abrams. It shows that a change in approach has occurred under the recently combined Warner Bros. and Discovery, concentrating on theatrical productions for DC characters.

Constantine made $230 million globally, and the character has remained in people's minds. After Keanu Reeves' execution as an anti-hero, an occult detective in the DC universe, Matt Ryan portrayed John Constantine in the NBC series and The CW's Legends of Tomorrow.

Reeves' star power has consistently grown since the first Constantine movie, and he now stars in many series. The fourth chapter of one of the most famous John Wick novels premieres in March 2023.
