While this project was one I didn't care much about, (Michael Keaton cameo aside) seeing it allegedly canceled when it was almost completed royally sucks. It shows the lack of direction at WB regarding DC comics. Unlike some idiots out there (I'm referring to the Snydercult), this is not a good thing.
This wasn't like the Wonder Twins project that was in pre-production, this was a nearly completed movie that already spent 90 million dollars in the making. This puts Zaslav further behind of his cutting 3 Billion Dollars from WB plan to recover the Discovery investment. If Zaslav canned this project, he won't throw money at an incompetent director who can't stay on budget and deliver a movie whose runtime is 2 hours or less. If the "Snyderverse" was dead before, now it's even deader. WB TRIED to keep the DCEU, but the Snydercult keeps shooting itself in the foot. Now with Batgirl's cancelation, they're asking for Black Adam, Shazam 2, and Blue Beetle to be canceled. They're asking to kill whatever is keeping the DCEU in life support... I forgot the eternal hate-boner towards James Gunn and Peacemaker. Honestly, I don't get the Snydercult... well, I mean, I get them, but I can't see the logic in their plans. On the other hand, I don't get WB's plan either.
This lack of direction under WB, under the AT&T Merger WB, and now the Discovery Merger WB, has been what has kept DC movies way behind Marvel... right now they shouldn't bother with playing catch-up and instead foxus on doing a cinematic universe that RESPECTS its source material... (so no Snyder-like garbage)
