No, all of this is happening simultaneously. They probably think the sequel will make money while those streaming projects won’t

And to sum up all the bad decisions,
Just sell DC at this point, all these decisions are terrible. Cancelling Batgirl, keeping Flash, selling 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.
