There are still a lot of people such as myself that don't even have 4k yet. Their priority was probably just getting the service set up to be honest. I just looked it up, only 32% of US households have a 4k tv.
The next TV you will purchase will most certainly be 4K. I work in commercial AV and we only install 4K-rated displays, and have for about the past 3 years. I would have to actively search for a 1080P commercial-rated display, and even then the cost difference is negligible. 4K is the new standard and 1080P is being phased out, even though the content driving the display is rarely 4K. In fact, 8K has already hit the market.
Probably. I buy a new TV about once every 15 years though so we'll be on to the thing after 4k by the time I get a new one.
This blog claims that WB is working on a Zatanna film for the DCEU.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again: I think Zatanna is a slam-dunk character to add to DC's cinematic lineup. DC could take that character in a number of directions: it could be fun like Shazam, or they could lean into a "Justice League Dark" interpretation of the character and make something similar to Hellboy. Of course, it all comes down to casting and DC has a pretty good track-record.

Another sign that DC Universe is coming to an end: Stargirl has been renewed for a second season, but only on the CW.
Stargirl S1 would have new episodes premier on DC Universe and then air on the CW a few days later.

Newest rumor for the DCEU: JJ Abrams is looking to produce a Constantine film and bring back Keanu Reeves to star.
I don't know. I've always admittedly been a Marvel guy but I literally have no clue who Zatanna is and I'd put myself in the upper echelon of comic book dorks.
A good comparison would be that she is the DC-equivalent of Dr Strange. Her character had a really great arc in the Young Justice animated series.
I could be wrong, but I'd probably call her a tier-2 level female DC superhero. I'd put Wonder Woman, Batgirl and Supergirl above her for sure, but I'd call her probably on an equivalent level with the likes of Hawk Girl, Black Canary or Mera. So, she could arguably be on a top 5 female list for sure. There are other more popular female DC characters not on my list, but I'd classify them more as villains than heroines. Throwing male/female aside, in terms of overall popularity, not only is the Doctor Strange comparison a good one by way of powers, but I'd also call the two characters very similar by way of overall popularity too in their respective universes. Honestly, I'm stoked to hear of a Zatanna movie possibly in the works, as it may be the #1 female solo outing movie I'd like to see due to her uniqueness of powers and not being a derivative character from a male counterpart. Therefore, I'm not surprised at all that its on the forefront for WB. She could make for a great movie.

It does look to be only in the early stages for Ray Fisher's grievances with Joss Whedon. Will be interesting to see where it goes from here and the repercussions to both of their futures. It is interesting to note that even though Joss is no longer working on a Batgirl movie for WB, he is still currently on under their employment as the creator for their upcoming HBO series "The Nevers".

Warner Bros has officially announced Matt Reeves is developing an HBO Max TV spinoff set in the same world as his upcoming Batman movie. It will feature some of the same characters and will center around the Gotham PD. Honestly, as someone who has watched most of the Gotham TV show seasons on Fox (I just eventually gave up due to quality), it sure does sound a lot like what that show was about, with the biggest differences being that this isn't a prequel with a young Bruce Wayne rather than a grown Batman, and this takes place in the same movie universe.

Noah Centineo has been cast as Atom Smasher in the Black Adam film.
The film will be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra who directed the upcoming Disney film Jungle Cruise. Good sign as Dwayne Johnson will star in both films.

Keanu Reeves is the new Harrison Ford. By that I mean, he is cast in every single role that comes along. An actor can be over-used, this happened with Ford playing Jack Ryan. I fear the same thing with Keanu Reeves playing Constantine. Reeves was OK in the movie, but Matt Ryan absolutely hit it out of the park as Constantine in the TV series. He should be kept for a second movie.
Somewhat big news from WB today:
The release date for Tenet, the new Christopher Nolan film, has been removed and there will be an "imminent" announcement regarding the theatrical release plans for the film. The movie was supposed to drop Aug 12 (after being pushed back twice previously). Here is what Tony Emmerich, CEO of WB, had to say:

"We will share a new 2020 release date imminently for Tenet, Christopher Nolan’s wholly original and mind-blowing feature. We are not treating Tenet like a traditional global day-and-date release, and our upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that."
This could be the blueprint other studios, such as Disney, could follow in the coming months. According to the article, this will not change the release date for Wonder Woman 1984 (Oct 2).

Yet another critical blow made to DC Universe Streaming service yesterday, as they apparently no longer are even offering yearly subscriptions to their service. So, if we weren't already positive that ship is done sailing the high seas soon, this pretty much fully confirms it. There is no "if" left in the sails, but just seems a matter of exactly "when".

Unsurprisingly, Patty Jenkins goes on the record stating that:
* There will be a third Wonder Woman movie
* That movie will likely be her last as director
