While Warner Bros. and DC are certainly not currently enjoying the same success in their DC Extended Universe as Marvel is having with their own Cinematic Universe, there’s no denying they have a pretty solid grip of things on the TV front. On The CW alone, they have shows like Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and iZombie (which was published under their Vertigo imprint), so based on that alone, it wasn’t surprising to hear just how well their TV brands are doing.
According to THR, during a Time Warner conference call, Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes revealed that the DC TV series generated more than $1 billion in revenue a year. To put things into perspective, neither of the Dceu films this year have grossed that much. Batman v Superman (disappointingly) made $873 million worldwide, and Suicide Squad (surprisingly) was able to rake in $745 million worldwide.
