‘Batgirl’ comic book writer shares thoughts on the cancellation

Batgirl was supposed to be one of the highlights of HBO Max’s 2022 line-up, but Warner Bros just tossed the highly anticipated and practically complete superhero movie in the trash. It’s a shocking decision by a major studio, a betrayal of the cast and crew who spent months shooting it, and a truly dark day for Batgirl fans.

One particularly saddened group is the comic’s writers, who’ve redefined Barbara Gordon. Gail Simone — who wrote the ‘New 52’ Batgirl — took to Twitter to describe the decision as “baffling and sad”:

‘Doctor Strange’ director reacts to ‘Batgirl’ getting canned

The unprecedented last-minute cancellation of Warner Bros’ Batgirl has sent shockwaves around the industry. The studio has spent upwards of $90 million on the movie, which completed its shoot earlier this year and was deep into post-production. Up until yesterday, we were anticipating a trailer drop soon and confirmation of its release date on HBO Max later this year.

Now all that’s up in smoke, with Variety reporting that Warner Bros is likely to claw back some money by treating Batgirl as a tax write-off, meaning it legally cannot be released. Many Hollywood insiders are shocked that Warner Bros would throw so much hard work in the dumpster, with the initial reaction of Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson summarizing the surprise:

In 2022 you sense Lucasfilm would like to pretend Solo: A Star Wars Story didn’t happen. The spinoff was a production nightmare, generated hundreds of thousands of words of bad press for the Mouse House and Lucasfilm, received tepid reviews and, most importantly, was a surprise box office disappointment.

Disney and Lucasfilm slammed the brakes on Star Wars spinoff movies Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi (both of which would eventually emerge on Disney Plus) and shelved their foolhardy plans to release a new Star Wars film each year.

Netflix’s latest panned romance weeps its way to #1 in 32 countries

Netflix might be churning out mega budget blockbusters packed to the rafters with A-list talent on a regular basis, but a very strong argument could me made that the platform’s constant churn of tear-jerking romantic movies remains the most consistently popular genre the company has at its disposal, with Purple Hearts providing the latest example.

As always tends to be the case, though, critics and audiences are in steadfast disagreement on the film’s merits. A 25 percent Rotten Tomatoes score is par for the course, but an 88 percent user rating, 7.2/10 ranking on IMDb, and Google audience average of 4.7/5 highlights that the target demographic got exactly what they wanted, and couldn’t be happier about it.

Fans rush to the defense of a thunderously stupid sci-fi mystery thriller

It would be fair to say that Nicolas Cage has made a lot of bad movies in his time, which comes with the territory when you spend so long trapped in the doldrums of VOD chicanery, but the Academy Award winner has also headlined his fair share of theatrically-released duds, too. That being said, he may not have starred in anything quite so stupid as Alex Proyas’ Knowing.

To be fair, the sci-fi mystery thriller was a big hit at the time after raking in $183 million on a $50 million budget, while the core concept is solid, at least until the third act. Cage’s professor comes into contact with a document buried in a time capsule 50 years previously that predicted every major disaster (man-made or natural) to have occurred in the half century since, with the final apocalyptic event up next.

Hot take on the MCU ‘elevating’ the comics opens an angry can of worms

As much as the Marvel Cinematic Universe is inspired and influenced by its source material, the vast majority of fans don’t seem to mind too much when Kevin Feige and his creative teams make changes to comic book canon to better fit the tone of the film or television project in question.

Of course, sometimes it can lead to an outpouring of rage, fury, confusion, and heated debate, with the decision to establish Kamala Khan as a mutant in the Ms. Marvel finale generating plenty of chatter in the aftermath, even if we should have seen it coming given Feige’s disdain for the Inhumans.

The leading man will almost always produce through his Seven Bucks company, the budget will be north of $100 million, CGI-driven spectacle and chaos will be the order of the day, and the former professional wrestler will embody either a current or former member of law enforcement or military, who also doubles as a family man with a 50/50 chance of being divorced.

Keanu Reeves reveals how heavily he’s involved in Netflix’s ‘BRZRKR’ adaptation

Then again, the actor is known as one of the most kind and wholesome figures in Hollywood, so there’s a distinct possibility he’ll be making sure fellow key creatives Matt Kindt and Ron Garney are well compensated for their contributions. The Batman writer and Mother/Android director Mattson Tomlin is handling the screenplay for the futuristic action extravaganza, with Reeves revealing to ScreenRant how heavily he’s involved in the development process.

Having been announced the very same day The Falcon and the Winter Soldier cemented him as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s new star-spangled superhero, The Cloverfield Paradox director Julius Onah will call the shots on the fourth standalone Captain America movie and first with Anthony Mackie in the lead, but any and all plot details (bar the inevitable inclusion of Bucky Barnes) remain shrouded in mystery.

Much like his longtime adversaries, the Latverian ruler has never been done justice in live-action despite repeated attempts, and there’s a sweeping sentiment among comic book aficionados that Victor Von Doom should be presented as a threat on the same level as Thanos or Kang the Conqueror, and not just the villain of the Fantastic Four reboot.

A smash hit fan favorite slasher retraces its steps on streaming

One of the greatest mysteries of modern horror is why it’s taking so much time and effort for a third installment in the Happy Death Day franchise to come together behind the scenes, when the first two entries only served to further enhance Blumhouse’s reputation as one of Hollywood’s most reliable hit factories.

Made for a grand total of less than $15 million, director Christopher Landon’s whip-smart pair of blackly comedic slashers earned identical Rotten Tomatoes scores of 71 percent, while combining to earn a massively profitable $190 million at the box office. Sure, takings may have plummeted by 50 percent when Happy Death Day 2 U rolled around, but the sequel was still deeply in the black by the time the pennies were counted.

Reviews be damned, film fans name the actors they’ll always turn up for

There are plenty of reasons to go and see a movie; it might be one you’ve been looking forward to for a long time, the latest installment in a blockbuster franchise, a buzzy awards season contender, or something that’s been deemed so terrible you feel obligated to witness it with your own two eyes. The age of the movie star may be getting slowly phased out in the era of IP, but that doesn’t mean film fans won’t stump up for a ticket based entirely on the presence of one talent in particular.

The days when the nomenclature in a font bigger than the name of the project itself at the top of the poster may be an old school marketing tactic that only the Tom Cruises, Denzel Washingtons, and Dwayne Johnsons of the industry can get away with in 2022, but Redditors have nonetheless been sharing the top-tier thespians that can convince them to watch their latest project from start to finish based entirely on their involvement, and the candidates aren’t solely restricted to the A-list.
