James Gunn gives Doom Patrol and Titans their marching orders.

I'm sad about Doom Patrol but, frankly, the fact that we got four seasons of this is minor miracle in itself. I was also a little heartened to learn that the showrunners were given enough advance notice to allow them to write an ending, rather than the series just getting cancelled on an end-of-season cliffhanger, as seems to be the norm with streaming shows.

That's a pity I liked Titans (& the one season of Doom patrol I watched).

Does this mean that it's just not commercially viable to do multiple seasons (5+) of the Superhero genre?

Personally I'd take 3/4 excellent seasons with 8 to 10 episodes in each and end it satisfactory! ** this would be exactly what I'd want from MC1 if it ever gets going**

I Especially like being introduced to characters I know little or nothing about.

In this case, per the article, it's about clearing the decks ahead of the James-Gunn-helmed reboot of the DC cinematic/TV universe, with DC/Warner desperately hoping to get it right this time...
