Swamp Thing Cancellation Causes Backlash Over DC Universe Marketing
Less than a week after the first episode of the Swamp Thing premiered on DC Universe, the fledgeling streaming surface suffered a major setback with the news that the horror series has been cancelled, now. While DC Universe will continue to air the remaining episodes, there is already little hope that Swamp Thing will return for more episodes, after.

And after the positive reception to the first season, it stands to reason that many fans would be upset that the corporate fat cats at Warner Bros would put their foot down on the Swamp Thing. After the positive reception to the first season, the quick decision to cancel the entire show is seen as a knee-jerk reaction for the fans.

With the cancellation of Swamp Thing so fresh in everyone’s minds, it makes sense that fans would not be happy about any of the promotion surrounding the new series.

Nice try at Damage Control!
Nice try at damage control but already unsubscribed. If Swamp Thing is canceled, no word on Doom Patrol S2, not a fan of Titans and have no interest in Stargirl then 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
