James Gunn addresses DCs mess + Patty Jenkins allegedly walks away from WW + DC roundup

[a_files06]

So. As for the story yesterday in the Hollywood Reporter, some of it is true, some of it is half-true, some of it is not true, & some of it we haven’t decided yet whether it’s true or not.

Genuinely astounding the way DC manages to get this wrong at every possible turn.

and yet, somehow, they will probably STILL release The Flash

[mizzyoung]

They are really set on 'The Flash' making some semblance of bank to recoup the budget. Meanwhile, they could've easily released 'Batgirl' and have some money and content for fans while they figure this shit out, but nope 🙃

Me and my brother were ranting about Batgirl being canned. He found something on-line about how it was supposed to be a HBO Max release. Then they considered putting it in theaters, but they couldn't find a way to "beef it up" (big action scenes, I guess) so they just scrapped it.

Michael Keaton's Bruce Wane/Batman was going to be an "elder statesman" or mentor, popping up in several DC movies Batgirl & The Flash among them.
But it looks like that's not happening now. Supposedly his part was cut out of The Flash. Or at least greatly reduced.

DC/WB remain a mess. idc I just wanted the Batman 2 and Gotham City Sirens

DC is such a mess. There's no point in getting invested in anything because it's likely to get cancelled or not matter in six months' time.

Henry Cavill really needs to fire The Rock's ex/bbmama/partner as his manager lol I think their carnie wrestling bullshit stunting has burned him

I mean I'm not weeping for him he'll be fine but maaaaan what a hot mess this all is

and good for Patty Jenkins for walking tbh? RELEASE YOUR JOB, it's what Beyonce has wanted for everyone in 2022

Yeah but I still want to hear Patty Jenkin’s excuse for having WW rape a man by sleeping with his essentially unconscious body while her bf’s soul (???) was inside him.

[naeara]

She laughed that off as hilarious body swapping and people just didn't get it.

I do want to see Patty finish her trilogy but she also maybe needs to take some notes on her scripts.

It was the dumbest explanation ever. It was literally a wishing stone! Steve could have just appeared from the ether. We didn't need the "Oh and he took over some guy's body in the 80s" attempt at explanation.
