I think they are doing it just to get the fans excited and get everybody talking about. They have announced a heap of movies like 'Nightwing', 'Batgirl', 'Birds of Prey', 'Gotham City Sirens', 'Deadshot', 'Lobo', 'Booster Gold' (apparently it is still happening) and 'Black Adam' that have no clear release dates and while the directors and other people working on those movies have said they are going to happen it is Warner Bros who are in charge of the main decisions and so far they are not giving the people working on these movies any reason to think they are going to go through. It is not only unfair to fans but to the people making them and I wouldn't waste my time writing a script for a movie unless I knew the movie was guaranteed to go through. Hopefully they will all happen especially 'Batgirl', 'Nightwing' and 'Birds of Prey' but I am not keeping my hopes up with the DCEU anymore. I have far more faith in 'Fathom' and 'Soulfire' and the 'Aspen Universe' happening now since Mythos Studios bought 50 percent of the Aspen Comic Book company and have a clear goal unlike the DCEU at the moment. 
In some cases I would agree with that but when you are talking about adaptions of comic books I have to disagree. I seem to recall Marvel going a long time releasing nothing but flops aside from 'The Incredible Hulk' TV show like 'Howard the Duck', 'The Punisher', 'Captain America' and 'Nick Fury' and while 'Spider-Man 1977' wasn't as poorly received as them when it first came out it and the two sequels are not looked back on very fondly by 'Spider-Man' fans but despite all that Marvel was able to climb back up to the top and those movies didn't destroy their reputation 'cause they were still having success with their comic books much like DC has been doing. DC have gone a long time without releasing any movies and just focused on TV shows and I think they could easily drop their movies now and focus on comic books and TV shows and come back in 20 years. DC is primarily a comic book company - not a movie company and I don't see Image Comics, Dynamite Entertainment, Aspen Comics, Bubble Comics, Zenescope, Amigo Comics, Action Lab, IDW etc needing a heap of successful movies to keep going and Image Comics is the third biggest selling comic book company in the world and has yet to have 98 percent of their series adapted to screen and yet they are still going strong and 'Saga' is the biggest selling new comic book series of the past 15 outselling anything by DC and Marvel and making the 'Guinness Book Of World Records' with other series under Image Comics for being the biggest selling graphic novel of the past decade too. Aspen is only getting its own movie universe now under Mythos Studios who bought out 50 percent of the company and it didn't need movie adaptions to survive its first 15 years.
