Board 8 > Batgirl movie cancelled, despite being essentially finished

(+) Yeah! (+)

Option 1 is insane lmao.

I enjoy that actual grooming, kidnapping, assaulting people, and threatening to murder them on a consistent basis is considered "erratic behavior".

Like no that's criminal behavior. I don't know that I buy this because there's a warrant out for his arrest, so if he goes to do an interview, he should be getting arrested.

totally need a press conference where they explain kidnapping

where is the arrest warrant

just got to keep him out of those states maybe

Apparently Zaslav believes in The Flash since he says it's testing well. But I think somewhere I heard so did Batman v. Superman.

They cut the CW loose.

My guess is this is part of the "plan" to get rid of non-prestige DC projects.

Not too surprising there with the CW having lost basically everything people were watching it for

I assume those cancelations were BECAUSE this was coming, not vice versa.

Possibly, but a lot of them were already over and in some cases dragging on anyways. Flash shouldve ended a long time ago since it just declined into a comical disaster

flash is a wild case of 8 seasons in an entirely downward trajectory

I wouldnt say entirely downward. First two seasons are good like most Arrowverse stuff and then it falls apart, has like one good season (usually fifth somehow) and then gets worse than ever imaginable. I stopped watching somewhere in the 7th because it felt embarrassing even watching it since it had gotten so laughably bad. The Arrowverse stuff all had potential and the bigger stuff like Arrow and Flash were destroyed by bad romantic drama stuff nobody could have wanted

In other Warner Bros news they want to remake The Wizard of Oz apparently.

Yeah, they do all have something in common. They don't exist.

Do I even wanna know

Only defense Ive seen of Miller is people saying to use the right pronouns even if theyre looking to be a toxic piece of shit

Why are you like this

There is an obvious reason he hasn't been arrested, but it's against the rules on leftist sites like GameFAQs to discuss it.

are you implying that they havent arrested Ezra because they identify as nonbinary

just some classic woke police stuff?

Im not sure I believe Vermont cops give a shit about anyones gender identity

and I dont know what parts of Twitter or Reddit youre looking at, because I definitely am not seeing defense of Ezra

last time they were trending on Twitter I clicked the trend and all the top tweets were just people joking about how wild it was that they keep doing new crimes in new places

Would love to see a source on these supposed defenses of Ezra on the Twitter that you deleted!

Haven't seen any myself on either site.

He's changed and doesn't troll anymore, he swears!

Oh god it's Ulti then.

Why do you people even allow his posts on your timeline? It's sooooo satisfying to erase him.

yeah taking ulti off block is a mistake I ain't doing again

(to be fair I don't even know how that happened I just checked my list and apparently he moved from blocked to ignored somehow)

Never Back Down 2: The Backdown

What a coward lol.

Please just stop responding to him

Oh man, I hate missing deleted posts.

The deleted posts all just say "Watch Smiling Friends", which is the only thing you should take from any of this.

The Penguin being a tentpole is good news for the new Batman movie getting continued films! Looking forward to seeing another sequel to that one!

Ezras attempted apology process begins

checking in with Twitter, the replies to this story seem to be like 50% complaints about singular they, 49.9% people not accepting Ezras genuinely apologetic/making fun of WB for choosing option 1, and then I saw like one guy who was being weirdly defensive of Ezra and trying to downplay their actions.

https://twitter.com/variety/status/1559372620188905472?s=21

Fuck Ezra Miller. They took no accountability at all. How did WB think this would work? "Alarmed and upset" like what? Who the fuck cares about being alarmed or upset?

Im doing a little diggin because I cant sleep and I did find some Ezra defense force weirdos, but it seems to be a pretty small niche.

https://twitter.com/noeofhousegold/status/1559327609061769217?s=21

like all this persons tweets are about Ezra. its very weird but also they appear to be an actual child. Its like someone doing the kpop Stan behavior but for an actual criminal, very strange stuff.

also the little bit Ive seen makes it seem like the defense is mostly coming from Snyderverse obsessives who reference random Youtubers Ive never heard of in an LMSlike manner

https://twitter.com/noeofhousegold/status/1557103846836649986?s=21

who are any of these people in this picture (dont actually tell me, I dont want to know)

lol guy with Jared Leto Joker profile pic has some thoughts about the situation

lmao I mean I don't wanna say I didn't think they were dumb enough to go with Option 1 because it's not a total surprise but still jesus it's just so dumb

Of course it ends with #RestoreTheSynderverse.

Im gonna become one of those #restorethesnydeeverse guys but for Universals Dark Universe instead

give me the Invisible Man, doctor Jekyll and whoever the fuck Tom Cruise is in The Mummy team up I crave

even if some people do defend ezra, they hardly seem to all be "leftist SJWs," as ulti was arguing. if anything, the jared leto guy seems like a typical alt-right trump supporter (he's also praising/defending zaslav on his twitter).

I'm not entirely willing to believe the stories about Ezra grooming younger people because that term has become an anti-LGBT buzzword now but otherwise yikes.

Restore the Snyderverse is top comedy. He pretty much killed the DCEU at the very beginning lol

I guess this will come off as the standard complaining about YouTube randos on my part but it actually seems relevant in this case. At first I was caught off guard by people celebrating Zaslav's executive purge in the belief that he would restore the Snyderverse since he probably wouldn't have greenlit the Snyder cut in the first place and seems like precisely the kind of guy who'd think "Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman underperformed, this is not the right direction", but on further examination I think they simply mean that the DCEU will focus on Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman instead of "Batgirl, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman". Which is still outrageous, although I GUESS I see where they're coming from with Cavill Superman and Batffleck in limbo while The Flash is to introduce Supergirl and Wonder Woman 3 is still happening but it hardly strikes me as something that would come to mind.

I mentioned in the politics topic how I've been tempted to watch Midnight's Edge stuff if only out of morbid curiosity for their takes, only for the TITLES of their videos to put me off (mostly because they speculate on The Flash getting cancelled even though Zaslav has given every indication he believes in it) to the point where I resort to just checking out bits of their livestreams to see their take on Batgirl's cancellation...and they act like the ONLY reason people are outraged is because the lead actress is Latina. I think this might just be what has finally put me off those dumpster fires - how could someone see the state of modern Hollywood and think 'wokeness' is somehow the biggest problem? Ahead of stuff like Disney monopolizing the industry and comic book movies hogging attention...oh wait.

But yeah, the AT&T leadership which is precisely what greenlit the Snyder cut to begin with afterwards became the bad guys because they wouldn't go further with it even though pre-AT&T WB likely wouldn't have even given THAT the time of day. To say nothing of people acting like departed CEO Ann Sarnoff wanted to make everything woke, as if women think with their vaginas.

i understand the instinct to be generally cautious around that stuff, but I think the misdirected groomer accusations are usually targeted at people who have jobs where they work with children (teachers, libraries, etc).

Ezras just a like 30 year old actor, so whatever interactions he may be having with minors are inherently a bit more suspicious and the accusation toward Ezra fit with the actual definition of grooming rather than the modern right wing definition of person who acknowledges gay people exist in the vicinity of a child

That's fair honestly, thanks for clarifying.

Conservatives have just made some words totally meaningless from overuse.

Its funny how they act like pronouns never existed until recently

I hadn't thought about this but it would be hilarious if true. I'm imagining them moving away from their teen-oriented programming and wondering why their viewership drops like a rock afterwards.

yeah this is what I was wondering about but I have no idea how viewing metrics are gathered

I saw that too. I know my girlfriend used to use her parents' (before they cut the cord too) and my one friend still does it with his parents.

I also read that when Supernatural was over, it jumped up to 68 and that it's only just now gone back down to 58.

That's still a really high number, even factoring in the number of younger people who may be doing mooching over, say, watching it on apps.

I'd be more interested to see what the average age is for streaming the season after the fact though on HBO Max or Hulu.
