Board 8 > Batgirl movie cancelled, despite being essentially finished

(+) Yeah! (+)

Studio insiders insist the decision to axe Batgirl was not driven by the quality of the film or the commitment of the filmmakers, but by the desire for the studios slate of DC features to be at a blockbuster scale.

What on Earth is going on at WB?

Why wouldn't you just throw it onto a streaming service or something at minimum

dceu movie cancelled

not ezra miller's

Them not speaking up about Flash right now is intensely disappointing since Ezra Miller is a fucking psychotic criminal who should be in jail yesterday. The only thing I can think of is that if they announce something about the movie that it might trigger Ezra to do something awful, but that's attributing a lot of care from studio execs.

also wasn't this supposed to have Michael Keaton as old Batman in it

what a waste

Tinfoil hat time: Maybe they cancelled it to generate backlash so they can come back later and say, "We listened to the fans, here's Batgirl" and then people are happy even though WB are the ones that cancelled it in the first place.

Would rather make zero money than make some money, just not as much as you want

Michael Keaten was supposed to be in Aquaman 2 I think.

Also rumors are that HBO Max will be absorbed by Discovery+ so thay will also end up disappearing.

...But HBO Max has good content and people like it and Discovery+ has nothing and nobody cares about it.

Should be reversed!

Well, I was thinking about this message:

And thought about how since there's still marketing costs to consider they technically could lose more money releasing the film than burying it even though it's basically complete.

Perhaps the movie is so awful that they think it'd damage the brand more than losing 90 million dollars is worth.

They haven't worried about damaging the brand before, why start now?

Because they thought the things that damaged their brand weren't actually going to damage their brand.

The point is that the damage has already been done and is basically irreparable. They're fooling themselves if they think otherwise.

This topic is full of depressing news, but what the actual fuck at Discovery going to own HBO? Like literally how. HBO actually has content and Discovery is basically nothing but scripted reality tv trash

Well you have to realize the average American is a brain dead moron and only wants empty trash. They're rather watch Diner's, Drive Ins, and Dives than Succession because hey don't have to think and can browse through Tik Tok while it's on.

Ill lose my shit more if they decided to cut Harley Quinn after S3. Seriously fuck Discovery if they gut a lot of stuff.
