...according to the streaming service's content chief Kevin Reilly.
So why not just make them as bloody movies then?

The video quality is definitely better than YouTube and it takes advantage of my entire 4K screen.

You can flesh out the characters more and additional content on the streaming service |

This is such a silly question, you can tell a longer more detailed story over 8-13 50 to 60 minute episodes than you can a single 2 hour films, shows you can also produced yearly where as a movie takes years to usually produced at a high level.
Also with TV it cost less the most expensive shows on TV are the Disney+ live action shows, GOT and stuff and they are capping out at like $100m a season, these films cost anywhere between $150m-350m.
For their streaming services the more episodes can mean dragging out how long people stick to paying for the service, you drop a DCEU movie and HBO Max will see a bump for that month, maybe the next if it gets dropped late in the month and that's it, you drop a 13 episode series however and that's 3-4 months of people paying for it at which time you are also posting other new stuff so there is overlap hoping that hey they watched GL maybe they will watch Titans also and so on.
The whole cinematic quality thing is just in terms of look as opposed to the TV quality look of the Arrowverse, has nothing to do with storytelling, just because it looks movie quality doesn't mean movie style storytelling, also streaming I think has less regulations than movies so they can push the envelope a bit more especially when they own their own service, look at The Mandalorian they told the story they wanted to tell, episodes went as long as they needed to for that story, no padding it or cutting it to meet the 42 minute requirements most shows have.
Oh and they don't have to spend $100m on marketing for a single venture like they do movies, so it's overall a lot cheaper, can tell better stories, doesn't have to worry about time restraints, allows for more freedom, better investment for a service than a single 2 hour film which will cost minimum of twice the amount for a fraction of the material, this is probably why I am guessing.

Weird though lol if they are in a separate universe Yeah it will be weird if there are three different DC TV universes. CW, DC Streaming, and now HBO. Interestingly I wonder if they're sort of abandoning the streaming service a little. I noticed that you can watch Stargirl for free on the CW app. I don't know why they would do that if they're trying to get people to pay for the service. |

Not really that's been the case for ages now, Lucifer is in it's own universe Gotham was in it's own universe, Supergirl was in her own universe, the main Arrowverse had their own universe, Black Lightning was in it's own universe, Titans is in it's own universe, Doom Patrol is also in it's own universe, as is Stargirl, Krypton was in it's own universe also, so at one point we had atleast 6 separate live action DC tv universes going on, more if you then include the animated shows.
As it is now we already have 5 separate live action universes going with the Arrowverse, Lucifer, Titans, Doom Patrol and Stargirl, no wait it's still 6 as I forgot about Pennyworth or whatever the Alfred prequel show is called.

Well, technically dc universe was/is part of pre-Crisis re the cameos. Including that old birds of Prey series lol. Similarly with Lucifer actually Although I cant remember the details exactly after? Were there cameos again? |

I don't care about cinematic quality.
I just want the shows to have a diverse cast and tackle social issues every episode.

Were there cameos again? They are all still their own separate universes, just within the entire DC live action multiverse, but multiverse means multiple universes so yeah, we still have 6 distinct and active DC universes going on in the TV landscape alone.
And yeah they all still exist, after Crisis.

It's grounded and it looks great. Not perfect, but great. I think limited CG is the key. That is mostly due to how much they reshot and limited time to complete the special effects, if they had stuck to most of what they shot the CGI would have been miles better, if the streaming services film and release on a more relaxed schedule instead of needing to rush like the network shows then the CGI will be vastly superior. |
