Batgirl (2022)

We already have a thread for HBO Max. Zaslav pissed off a lot of shareholders so he won't be with WBD much longer and whoever replaces him will want to restore goodwill and they will most likely do that by releasing this film and Scoob Holiday Haunt.

Shooting was actually done and the film was in post-production when it was cancelled.

There is still hope as the final deadline for the tax write-off has not yet happened and won't happen until the end of the fiscal year(whenever that is)so if there is enough public pressure they could decide to finish the film(like with what happened with Deadpool which was going to be cancelled until test footage leaked).

Yeah i had a feeling that was the case, if WBD wants to write the film off for topics purposes they have to keep the footage around to show that it actually exists.

So has anyone heard this new BS that this Zaslav guy is pulling? Apparently he's having EVERY COPY burned. Jesus Lord! I pray someone managed to save some negatives or at least a recording of the original, because this is insane. For those not following the Zaslav trauma, this guy is literally the most childish, insane man I have every heard of that wasn't named "Bundy".

He's literally erasing every trace of at least one, possibly more, CN cartoons from the internet, he's trying to either hide or destroy (or both considering this nonsense!) over TWO HUNDRED episodes of Sesame Street and he's completely re-editing and possibly destroying Shazam 2 and Aquaman 2...mind you this is while Ezra Miller, a sociopath, is his favorite son and he's putting hundreds of millions of dollars into HIS movie.

This is literally the most insane thing I have ever heard of. I've seen people saying "oh yeah he took the Leftists down a peg!" and believe me, without starting a political argument, I have no problem with that, and I've seen people laughing their asses off because the movie was
"so bad it had to be destrooooyed!" or whatever...but this is utterly insane. This isn't cutting costs or shifting focus this is how Prince Joffrey would act. This is how a spoiled child acts when he doesn't get candy, he throws a tantrum.

I hope someone saved the negatives or at least a copy, and the same for those tv shows he erased, because this is utter madness. Huge chunks of television and movie history may be destroyed because ONE person is having a fit and drunk with power. Wow.

Anyone who celebrates "leftists being taken down a peg" is a complete fucking moron and it's pretty safe to say that anyone that's a fan of Zaslav is a piece of shit.

Batgirl wasn't a shitty movie at all though, it got the same test scores that Black Adam did, Zaslav being a Drumpf supporter lends credence to the theory that he's deliberately targeting shows and films with minorities and LGBTQ characters in them.

Somehow I don't think we'll have to wait ten years to see that movie as i've got a feeling Zaslav won't be CEO for too much longer as he's violated actual laws with removing all those shows and with WBD's stock tanking I don't see the shareholders wanting him around much longer, he'll be gone soon enough and when they replace him with someone with actual experience that knows WTF they are doing they'll no doubt want to restore goodwill by bringing back cancelled projects to reassure filmmakers that this won't be the same WBD.
