Economic Analysis: Apparently, somehow through it all, Warner Brothers is still in business to make money.
Start referring to Batgirl’s death as a late-term abortion. That should silence most of the critics.
Hahahahahahahaha. The tears of my enemies are delicious.
Whoever wrote that article is an idiot. Is this how people talk these days?
I must be in a bubble.
This dreck isn’t “news”. It’s anti-White racial bigotry.
Geez. A company loses money dumping “Batgirl” in the dumpster and people in this country start whining like a bunch of whinyass little kids screaming that it’s the end of the world. The idiot comic fans need to grow up. You can’t act retarded all of your life.
Shove it, NBC. No senient being believes your bullshi...er...bull Dorkbama.
Just sit there and hang out with your fellow very, very low IQ fellow journalism majors and pretend that we actually care about anything you say.
Zaslav is just getting started with his dismantling of the woke idiots at WB. The other race swapped crap Supergirl also chopped and faggot, psycho Ezra Miller Flash also scrapped.
According to what I have read elsewhere, this film was a wretched mess. The studio execs pulled the plug before they sank money into distributing this turkey.
“ When “Batman and Robin” came out in 1997, it seemed like everyone was focused on Alicia Silverstone’s body. The actor who played Batgirl was greeted with misogynistic and body-shaming echoes of “Fatgirl” by so-called fans of the franchise.”
What claptrap…. What I remember most people focusing on was the insanely gay costumes of Batman and Robin and mocking the fact they had nipples, and how generally bad it was. I don’t recall much if any commentary about Silverstone being fat.
I am sure there may have been some comments by someone in that vein, but hardly was it a large or major amount of attention
It would appear that the wallets of “diverse DC Comics fans” were welded as shut as everybody else’s.
Yes the movie industry is supposed to operate at a loss so that wokesters can feel good.
See post 12. This article starts out with a flagrant lie and just goes down from there..
They get all upset over a comic book character, but have no problem pulling unborn children apart in their mothers’ wombs. These are sick fekkin’ people we’re dealing with.
The majority of current super heroes were invented by men. Most of them Caucasian, some of them Jewish.
If you can not enjoy them, then invent your own.
Just changing their skin tone or their sex does not count. That is lazy and not creative.
Blaming the customers for not wanting to be preached and lectures demonstrates the weak foundation these people stand upon.
They cannot really justify their position, so they attack anyone who disagrees. It is a sign of mental illness.
Rumors that the movie was a woke mess is confirmed here: Aside from having a Batgirl of color, Batgirl’s best friend, a trans woman named Alysia Yeoh, was played by trans actor Ivory Aquino. This would have marked the first time a live action feature film adaptation of a DC Comics title would feature an openly trans character. Why did they need a "trans character"? I get that rans people exist, but why did they need to include one unless they were going out of their way to be woke?
She also goes on to say Batman vs Superman was a colossal flop. It wasn't. It did not perform as well as expected and got some bad reviews, but it made a lot of money.
She goes on to say that they are releasing The Flash with Ezra Miller in spite of his apparent mental breakdown and legal problems. This is not true. They are talking about shelving that one, too and if not, refilming without Ezra "Gender-Fluid" Miller (I don't know why they cast that nutjob in the first place).
Her stupidest comment is this: Some fanboys couldn’t deal with the fact that they weren’t getting the Batgirl they wanted.. This shows how tone-deaf wokesters really are. Instead of making a movie that would appeal to the actual fans of the genre, she would rather they make some woke POS for a miniscule group of woke fans who care about wokeness more than entertainent.
They have a very specific view in their minds of characters and how they look and act.
Fans of the “Dune” and “Lord of the Rings” novels will never be completely happy with cinematic treatments of these novels.
I read both of the above trilogies in my youth and was never happy with any of the movies that came out.
Now more than thirty years removed from my reading of those novels and dramatic improvements in movie production technology I can finally accept to some degree the movie treatments of these fantastic books.
People will always argue with a director’s treatment of their favorite books.
Provided they don’t totally change key characters (things like sex or sexual orientation just for social credit score points) I can give it a pass.
Of course no one liked the 1984 treatment of Dune. Even if you had just read the novel you could not follow the movie. The only good acting in the movie was by Sting who thanks to this movie never acted again.
