They released this extremely lowbudget webseries in its entirety on DVD but they still havent released Static Shok and have no plans to.
They released Zeta on DVD despite it being poorly received and not watched at all.

th
Hardcore DC fans don't even know who the fukk zeta is.

Static Shock is among the most popular shows to ever be canceled.
They wouldn't put out toys for it cause they didn't want black characters to have toys. Then they cancelled it despite it being litterally one of the most popular shows they had on their entire network at the time. Now decades later they won't even release it on DVD. Its the only part of the entire DCAU that hasn't been released on DVD to date. When the WB cancelled Static Shock it was the #1 show they had in the 9 to 14 demographic. The only show doing better than Static Shock with boys 9 to 14 on any channel was Pokemon. But they still wont release it on DVD.
:mindblown:

Straight racist. DC has always been racist. They don't care about black characters and have never pushed for anything black.
Everything they have ever done to portray a black person in any positive light can litterally be traced back to a single man (Dwayne McDuffie) from Static Shock to writing GL on Justice League to making Vixen stop bedwenching... etc.
Now that McDuffie is deceased the DC roster is as white as it was in the 1930s. I simply can't fukk with DC as a company.

Static Shock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Static Shock was an extremely popular show, granting its new renewal for a second season just a month after its debut.[13] As of December 2000, it was the highest-rated pre-teen—from 2 to 11 years—show among all networks on its timeslot, and the third best on the Kids' WB! lineup.[13][37] From its debut to July 2003, the show secured the second post among boys aged 6 to 11 years.[38] Ratings increased after Richie's character obtained superhero powers; McDuffie affirmed that this is what secured the renewal for a new season.[6] Indeed, the show's third season was its most popular and was the second best-rated Saturday morning program among boys aged 6 to 11 years, and tweens and male tweens aged 9 to 14.[39] From February to April 2003, ratings regularly performed over the 4.0 stake among the public aged 9 to 14 years;[40] it even reached the 6.4 mark in May.[41] Static Shock's last season was only surpassed by the children's anime Pokémon, and the show's reruns on Cartoon Network were only surpassed by the adult animated sitcom Family Guy.[6] Static Shock was the only program on Cartoon Network to be among the top 30 most watched kids shows in a week of October 2004.[42] It was also the best rated program of the channel among kids on a week of January 2005,[43] and the best rated show on Cartoon Network's Miguzi block as of March 2005.[44] For the 2004–05 season, it was the 18th most watched Saturday morning children's show of all networks.[45] Static Shock was ultimately cancelled due to the low production of associated merchandising products.[6]

The Zeta Project? Nobody liked that shytty show.

And Warner's treatment of Static Shock isn't racist; it is the same situation as when they canceled Young Justice...the a$$holes only care about toy sales and if your cartoon aint selling toys then they kill it.
Naw @notPsychosiz is right. I've noticed over the years way too many black folks who are fans of the DCAU/Timmverse have never seen "Static Shock". It's RIDICULOUS that Warner Bros. has never at least released the entire "Static Shock" series on Netflix & other VOD services.

You clearly didn't read what I posted. I already said Zeta is a shytty show that no one cared about. But despite that its out on DVD.
Young Justice is also on DVD, so thats a poor example as well. Static Shock is singled out to not be on DVD.

And not selling toys (like Young Justice) is not the same as your company never making toys for your hit show in the first place cause they don't want black toys (as with Static Shock).

The showrunners and creator have done interviews directly and specifically stating DC, WB and the toy compnies didn't want non-caucasion toys.
So if thats not racist enough for you.:mjpls:

Btw... Young Justice numbers were not even close to Static Shock. YJ was a cable show. Static was a network show. They aren't in the same ballpark.

Lastly, Young Justice targets an older audience (male teens primarily) who are less likely to buy toys but despite this they had line after line of toys produced that of course did not sell.
Static Shock despite being the number one show on the network for boys 9 to 14 and one of the leading shows for boys 6 to 11 (the ranges that buy toys) it was never given toys at all because WB/DC did not want to invest in black toys.

So yes, thats the very definition of racism. The singular concern being the characters were black.

If Johns is okaying this he needs to be fired.
Only way I can see this is with a 30 mil budget max, but I doubt they will player her like the villain which kills everything to me.

It has to be Birds vs Sirens, she even hinted it during an interview. She doesn't work as a solo character

WB will fire his ass if he doesn't

This is just WB trying to cash in on Margot and Harley. And it's up to Johns and everybody else to find a way to make a Harley Quinn movie progress a story that's clearly building up to Darkseid

There is no reason that a solo Harley Quinn movie would have to have anything to do with the over-arching Darkseid story that Justice league is building towards.
