WB doesn't seem to know how to release any media post 2010.

They keep trying to shoehorn IP into trends, years after market saturation to try and capture nostalgia, and then wonder why they didn't meet sales targets. See MK1, Space Jam 2, or anything related to HP or LotR.

The other thing they do is when they do have an interesting or original idea with the IP, the executive team seems too risk averse to put any capital behind it. See the two new Loony Tunes movies, one was in theaters for less than a week and the other was scrapped entirely for a tax writeoff.
