Following the decision of Discovery, to suspend the broadcast of its channels in Russia, its future asset, WarnerMedia, which she will soon swallow, sent a memorandum, which states that all WarnerMedia operations in Russia will be temporarily stopped.

This applies to all the filmmaker Warner Bros., and not only "Batman", i.e. The studio is potentially ready not to produce in Russia and a fairy tale "Fantastic Creatures: Dumbledore's Secrets" in April. HBO Max in Russia did not work, but it will be limited to the licensing of content by Russian online cinemas. The Warner Bros game will not be sold to Russia. Interactive. Nearest new releases of the company - Gotham Knights, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League (transferred to 2023).

Also, the cessation of operations will affect the Music label Warner Music, its cooperation with Russian artists, promotional activities and concerts of foreign artists. In Russia, the label supported the performers of Ani Lorak, "Mumiy Troll" (previously reported stopping concerts in Russia), Little Big, Feduk, Mary Gu, Guf, Arthur Pirochkov, Egor Creed, Filatov & Karas, and in the West label works with Avril Lavigne , Rita Ora, Ava Max, Dua Lipa, ED Sheeran and others.

In the night memorandum Warnermedia on the suspension of work in Russia contains an important detail - termination of licensing content to Russian companies.

We are talking about the sale of re-broadcast rights in domestic online cinemas WB / DC films and HBO MAX TV series, CW, and from the Warner Bros., Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. This means that slowly foreign films like the "Harry Potter", the "Lord of the Rings", the works of Christopher Nolan and the series of studios will begin to disappear from the catalog of Russian Strimies. Thus, both "Batman" DC after the premiere at HBO MAX 19.04.2022 in Russia, the license is unlikely to be released.

The official Russian dubbing "Batman", of course, exists, because the premiere canceled the day before the start of the rental. Another thing is that it may not be released anywhere before removing restrictions on the content licensing. There may also be no double dubbing of new movies studio, if there are no plans to produce them in Russian cinemas, because Usually, the dubbage is finalized 1-2 weeks before the start of the rental. The license agreement with a foreign studio is available for about 1 year, after which it has extended further.

Earlier in Russia, the law was planned, which demanded an exclusive content of the Russian Streaming to start working in the country to replenish their catalogs with Western projects and help them retain subscribers.

Now there will be an inverse situation: foreign films and TV shows that have already been among Russian cutters will begin to respond, and this is a very important new part of the limitations, which is not specified.
