DC is finally spending more time to captivate the audience on the small screen. It has always been a problem for the DCEU to perform well on the big screen with continuity issues.

If you’re a Justice League fan, then you owe a big thank you to Abrams. JJ Abrams and his production company Bad Robot have signed a deal with WB that will allow them to craft Dc content such as video games, tv shows, and movies, for the next five years.
