[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8853457, member: 7023840"] So one of the things that is important is to understand how things work, and why different sources of information might be different. I'll start this by saying that (a) I am a massive Michael Keaton fan (as an actor, a person, and as Batman) and (b) I am a massive Batman Beyond fan, and wish nothing more that a live-action movie of it --- and cannot believe it hasn't been done. That said ... let's unpack this, shall we? First, the studio ("WB") has previously had a Beyond movie in development- multiple times. Since 2001. The movie has had scripts and directors (I remember when Aronofsky was attached for a hot second), so saying that Batman Beyond is "in development" at WB is akin to saying that "water is wet." Second, what [I]exactly is the rumor[/I]? Well, it's that they are not moving forward on a [I]script[/I] by Christina Hodson (who wrote the Flash, kinda). Was this movie official? No. Was there a director? No. Was the main role (you know. Terry McGinnis?) cast? No. Was Michael Keaton even signed for this movie? No. Not as far as anyone knows! So what is this breaking news???? That a script treatment for a movie that didn't have a director, or cast, wasn't going forward. This is not a shock- this is part and parcel of what happens every day in Hollywood. Which leads to the next question.... why did the [I]usual places [/I]pick up this non-news.* Well ... whenever there is a changing of the guard at some place, there are winners, and there are losers. And the losers like to get the knives out for the winners. These are the knives. Given the history of toxicity in the WB fandom, it's hardly surprising. I have to say, I hope that they are paying Gunn and Safran [I]all the money [/I]to wade into this atmosphere. Heading up DC seems like it is a poisoned chalice. People are genuinely complaining about projects that don't even exist. *It's really non-news, other than maybe finding out that WB was trying, again, to have a live-action Batman Beyond as part of their continuing two decade quest to anger my blood.
