    Rumours are that the new WB heads are going to go absolutely scorched Earth on the company tomorrow

      Oh I posted this in the TV thread. My apologies. Seems like a huge amount of money to write off though.

        Yep, apparently a late stage sequel to Scoob has also been scrapped to the tune of $40m which just seems odd. Even if they weren't the highest quality there's ways of recouping some of the costs via selling streaming rights and home media sales etc so they make some back without them being high profile releases that harm the brand or whatever their concern is.

          It must have been a piece of **** for them to just soak up $90m to ensure it never sees the light of day

            Warners Abruptly Scraps "Batgirl" Release - Dark Horizons
            According to this the likely situation appears to be that releasing them in cinemas would have meant ballooning the costs whilst scrapping both will allow Warner Bros to recoup the costs of both films as tax write downs under the condition that neither is monetised, thereby blocking a streaming release.

            Batgirl is certified going to become a fandom holy grail obsession for decades to come thanks to this. There is literally a Michael Keaton Batman performance sealed within that film.

              This is why, although the film may well be bad, I don't quite trust the narrative that it's a train wreck. There is a huge amount of turmoil happening in WB and a lot more to this than a movie not being good. But the narrative that it's terrible can be a way to try to avoid the campaigning to finish and release it.

                Yep, in the above link apparently someone told Deadline that reports of it being bad are ott, seems it was a very middle of the road effort which to be honest is kind of what you'd expect for a film targeting streaming release same as is typically the case with all these high budget films Netflix keeps knocking out

                  Serves them right for inviting Neon Ignition’s family to the test screening.

                      I was thinking this same thing. With the drama around the Flash actor and now this, it’s not working out for him.

                      But then we really should just get a Keaton Batman movie rather than these guest slots.
