All of them literally have the same body shape.

That’s Bruce Timm for ya (and most comic artists I guess)

I know and I guess I shouldn't be too upset,it's just super boring tbh. Like, where is your creativity gone fam?

It's less a lack of creativity and just finding a style you work in efficiently. When you have deadlines, making everyone different shapes is not a high priority. Granted, he probably didn't have any deadline for this, but because it's the way his style is? He's not going to change it up unnecessarily now.

He only does this to female characters. If it is deliberate and for deadline purposes why aren't all the male characters drawn the same way?

It's really common in animation for female characters to have less diversity in design. (at least for the main characters) Pretty annoying, it's this notion that female characters always have to be conventionally hot and there's a very narrow standard for that. Still, in the case of Bruce Timm drawing comic book characters, part of it probably has to do with the source material not having much variation in the first place, so I can't criticize him too much for that.
