Until I hear a 'we've sacked him' / 'I quit', I ain't believing Sir Jack of S**t.
This is Warner Brothers where bad news or rumors eventually become true

What I don't get is why there is always so much shade being thrown at DC movies, the amount of rumors that just haven't been true..yete some how marvel films can seem to do no wrong, but the rumors just aren't widespread like they are like the dceu.
We've had directors fired from both camps, yet "The Batman's" was a big deal when Affleck was brought in, and that he wanted out, and we were told he might give up before even JL...and yet as far as we know he's still in.
Now, this recent cavill news, which has already been shut down by the idea by Cavill's agent, is literally plastered over every media outlet, and yet nobody can name this "Un-named source"
I really hate to believe in conspiracy theories, but either WB just likes the discussion happening around their characters, or someone is legitimately wanting to make the DCEU come across as unsalvageable at this point, as if its even in the same realm as "the dark universe" or fox's fantastic four films.
Marvel get a free pass for being so 'creative' and being able to 'do no wrong', plus seemingly a lot of people think Feige walks on water.
The MCU does not give up when problems happen or something is not as successful like the WB does
Thats the big difference
When you release a template film structure 20 times in a row, it's not that difficult to 'mess up'.

& the MCU also STAYED THE PATH. They did not panic & kill Thor after Thor 2 did not work. They did not panic after The Incredible Hulk did not work etc. They did not panic when people complained about Iron Man 3. They STAYED THE PATH & LEARNED AS THEY WENT ALONG. Warner Brothers panics & changes everything when things go wrong
This is the difference between the two
Keep in mind they failed once with Supergirl already on the big screen
there was talks about Suicide Squad being more in line as style a GotG, but when I see SS I don't see any similarities to GotG..
Benoist is good casting. I have to say though, as a fan of the CW shows, Supergirl and LOT are my least favorites. Supergirl pushes a political agenda, and that's not what I'm looking for in superhero television. I want escapism. I think we can do a lot better than the show.I've gotten so used to Melissa Benoist as Supergirl on tv that I havea hard time getting interested in a Supergirl movie not starring her.
WB is doing what WB has done since Superman 4. The Nolan trilogy was an aberration . The DCEU mess, the Burton/Schumacer mess, the Superman lives scripts etc, is much more their natural state as opposed to some recent development.
Basically, you have a generation of fanboys who were either too young to appreciate it, or weren't born yet, to see how WB has generally handled these projects.
The big difference now is we're in 2018 : The age of blockbuster Superhero franchises which are taken seriously by general audiences, shared cinematic universes, and social media . We can see these train wrecks happening in real time as opposed to the 80s, 90s, and early 00s when there wasn't as much of a window into what went on behind the scenes and when most people, frankly, didn't give a damn.
While WB is trying to play catch up in a lot of ways , they still have very much a 80s and 90s mind set towards these projects and they are very much reactive .
Batman returns gets backlash from some parents groups and McDonalds in 1992, which leads to Burton being replaced by Schumacer and a lighter - kid friendly ,Batman film , which then goes overboard and ends the franchise with Batman and Robin, which basically puts another film in development for 8 years which means they shift they're attention to a Superman film which they're too afraid to make because of the B & R backlash, and so on and so forth. And that's just the 90s.
So yeah, this chaos that fanboys are mad about today is actual the norm for WB.

If they reintroduce Superman and introduce Brainiac through the Supergirl movie, then I'm 100% on board.
