This is absolutely fukking amazing.

I'm starting to think that the primary DC characters being so old and having so much history is part of the problem.

It sounds like this basically boils down to Cavill wanting WB to shyt or get off the pot with Superman, since having to keep things open for maybe coming back for whatever the fukk they have planned is fukking his money up at a time that he's got juice.

And THAT all comes down to them rushing into BvS and Justice League because they basically assumed that audiences were fsmilfam with the characters, and didn't need the buildup that the MCU had.

Man, them nikkas was WRONG. The overlap between the comic audience and the comic movie audience is nowhere near as great as they think. So, with no prior intro to half the characters, and no lead in storyline, Justice League basically had to be a really good movie to move the needle. And it wasn't.

But trying to picture to Supergirl also suggests that they don't even understand why Wonder Woman was a hit. It wasn't just the fact that it was a female lead (although it certainly did help), it really just came down to the fact that it was fun movie that was overall pretty good. These nikkas finna throw out a Supergirl movie that ends up being trash, and wonder how they fukked up AGAIN.

Not sure how true "he's getting offers left and right' is besides some non-descript thriller dude has nothing on the horizon besides Witcher. He could easily take on new roles if he is getting tons of offers and still be Superman. Especially since WB got no real plans for the character coming up.
Whatever, it's just poor on WB's part to be negotiating via the press. Say he's out and then back down I'm sure wasn't part of the plan.

I'm late reading this but if dude is out, it was pretty apparent with the whole mustache/Justice League debacle that he didn't care anymore anyway. I think if any us got a chance to play supes, we cutting it off if they need to do reshoots and would be in MI looking like Shawty Lo with some Begine on.

I walked out of the theater after seeing JL and knew they needed a reboot so I'm glad it seems to be heading in that direction. Either do flashpoint or crisis and start it off right rather than force it. Keep Gal and get some new blood in there that want to be there and not going to get caught on camera looking depressed when they movie about to drop like Affleck.

He didn't cut off his mustache because he didn't want to, breh. :russ:

Paramount Pictures contractually negotiated with WB that Cavill had to keep his mustache because they had all the juice in those negotiations. If they didn't agree with Cavill doing the reshoots (which they could have done), then there wouldn't even have been any.

Not when you signed a contract saying you weren't gonna shave that moustache and the studio behind MI already said no.

Chris Evans dealt with something similar and had to hide his face for the post credits scene for the Avengers when they're eating shawarma

They have to. This is waiving the white flag.
Noit's not. It is them making the calculation that a clean break needs to be made with the Snyder era of their movie universe and getting rid of the two actors most tied to it.
Aquaman comes out in a couple months.
The Wonder Woman sequel is being filmed right now.
Shazam is in post-production.
Birds of Prey is in pre-production.
Matt Reeves is actively working on the Batman movie.
Ava Duvernay is preparing to start New Gods.
Flash is supposedly going to start filming in a couple months.
Suicide Squad 2 is still happening.
Geoff Johns is actively working on the Green Lantern Corps movie.
Supergirl is being fast-tracked.

They aren't going to just scrap all of that and start over and there has never been any indication that they have even thought about doing so.

I am highly anticipating WW 2 Shazam! and Aquaman.

They need to forget what proceeded those flicks and make a complete clean break.

Act like BVS , JL and even MOS even happened.

It's too much of mess
