No, it’s all happening simultaneously. They probably think the sequel will make money while these streaming projects won’t.

And to sum up all the bad decisions,
Just sell DC at this point, all of these decisions are terrible. Cancel Batgirl, keep Flash, sell the Batman TV series, and now Constantine. It’s pretty clear that Warner Bros doesn’t want to make DC content, so why keep the brand.
