It appears the cancellation of Titans and Doom Patrol might have been premeditated.
HBO Max recently dropped Titans and Doom Patrol at a crucial time. Both TV shows are on a mid-season break following the premiere of their fourth seasons late last year. The latest seasons are expected to end sometime later this year, but fans were disappointed to find out that they're already staring at each respective series' conclusion and not a season finale.
Obviously, fans directed their comments to James Gunn, who's been canceling projects left and right ever since stepping up as the co-CEO of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran.
Adam Gorman, in particular, told Gunn about the "mighty big hill" he'll need to climb after the cancelation of the fan-favorite shows. But, as it turns out, Gunn wasn't involved in the cancelation - for all intents and purposes, he wasn't even part of the equation yet.
It's questionable why these cancelation announcements emerged just as Gunn took office. Either Warner Bros. Discovery is trying to sabotage the new DC Studios management or they just have bad timing.
