The news broke late last night that HBO Max has cancelled Titans and Doom Patrol, with both DC Comics-based series set to wrap-up after their current fourth seasons.

Producers were said to have seen "the writing on the wall," and ensured that these final seasons will give fans a satisfactory conclusion.

Though the trade's reports did mention that the decision to axe the shows was made before James Gunn and Peter Safran came on board as DC Studios co-heads, the Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad director still got a lot of flak about it on social media (no surprise there) from people who assumed he was the one to make the call.

Gunn has now responded, making it clear that the decision was out of his hands.

The filmmaker also replied to a query about the cancellations and whether he would have had the power to keep the Titans and Doom Patrol actors on as their respective characters whether the shows were allowed to continue or not.

Can we expect any of the old guard to stay in their roles as the new DCU begins to take shape? Aquaman star Jason Momoa recently stated that he's "going nowhere," but he may not have much choice in the matter if Gunn and Safran do implement a full reboot of the franchise.

Gunn assured fans that the first part of the new DCU slate would be announced this month, but February is fast approaching.
