DC & WB regret/mistake


Since The Flash is officially a flop. Do you think DC or WB regret releasing the movie? I bet they probably thinking "we should've canceled the movie last year."

reply

They should had split it in half. One being an Old Man Wayne type of swansong for Keaton to release theatrically and then an on-the-cheap Flash movie for HBO Max. Realistically, how much should a Flash movie cost? Speed is his main power and that can't be that expensive to display.

The minute they decided to dump Snyder-verse and go a new way, they should have canceled and written off all these movies just like they did Batgirl.

reply

The sad part is, it's the only good film of the entire Snyder-verse. Had it been released in a vacuum, I think it would have done well, but the baggage of all the crap that came before it was too much for it to bear.

reply

I'm sure they regret having spent so much money on it. I haven't seen it yet, but I will.

reply

It's weird. All these rumors of expensive reshoots but then apparently they didn't bother finishing any of the CGI shots? The whole thing is a mess.

reply

Yes, I keep hearing that the CGI is off.

reply

Hasn’t that been the case for a few DCEU movies where they just release it with poor CGI presumably not to waste further money on a film they expect to flop.

reply

It's kind of like The Wolfman movie, the studio sits on it for years and dumps all kinds of money into it just to make it worse. And then afterwards everyone just wishes they'd cut half the dumb shit they added along with the cg.
