I wonder how many movies and musicals will be plagiarized for Joker 2.
The premise of these arguments is not that he should "release movies he doesn't have faith in out of loyalty," but rather that his lack of faith in them is likely influenced by his inability to relate to BIPOC. Whether you agree with it or not is another thing, but that's the premise
Not releasing a finished movie and writing it off to save 15 million in tax write offs is extremely rare. Why are you acting like this is usual Hollywood ruthlessness instead of something very bizarre that rarely ever happens in Hollywood. Especially when you consider the movie industry is built on good relationships
What about all the other movies that were shelved and didn't have a POC lead? It's not like the company only selected movies lead by a POC actor or director. I am pretty liberal myself and will gladly call out someone when it's warranted, but not everything is race related and by making it that way it does a disservice to it overall.
They removed 7 other movies from MAX, Moonshot, Superintelligence, The Witches, An American Pickle, Locked Down, Charm City Kings and House Party beside Scoob and Batgirl.
ALL as a money saving tax write-off. It's not a race thing, it's a money thing.
I guess Zaslav also hates dogs because why else you'd cancel Scoob?

I am not debating how rare this specific event is, but that some people are expecting the movie to be released for, I don't know, loyalty to the fans? Loyalty to people who really wanted to see Keaton as Batman again? There are fans who are acting as if they knew all the financial pros and cons of releasing the movie or not, but instead no one knows anything except for a couple of rumors. But yes, racism. Ok.
It's not that I don't care about WB's relationships with creators - even if I find Zaslav's reaction to Eastwood's Cry Macho way, way more troubling than stopping a Batgirl B-movie with more or less unknown people at helm - but pretending that Zaslav isn't in his full right to stop a movie when it is literally his job to take this type of decisions is quite naive IMHO.
Exactly.
Educational town, Rolemodel city and Moralofthestory land are the places where good comics go to die.
DC writers and editors looked up and shouted "Save us!"
And Alan Moore looked down and whispered "No."
I'm kinda surprised Snyder didn't want Superman to watch Lois and Bruce conceive their love child. All the while singing the "Na na na na na na Batman!" theme song - Robotman, 03/06/2021
There have been reports that his big time leadership team lacks women or people of color.
All the people he hires at least:

Now I honestly just want to see the movie to spite the haters and see if the rumors about the test screening quality were accurate.
