On the other hand, the drafts for a Static Shock film would be a treasure of bad stereotype writing Enter VIRGIL HAWKINS. His drip is off the hook, with lightning bolts shaved into his flat-top hairdo. His circle of friends, outcasts, are supportive, and burst into laughter when Virgil utters his catchphrase "GET CHARGED, YO"

Static Shock did have to deal with some rights issues over the past couple of years but I believe they're all sorted now.

ah here it is, from a 2017 law suitquote:The suit alleged the defendants put their interests ahead of the McDuffie estate. Other allegations included intentional interference with prospective economic relations, fraudulent conveyance and civil conspiracy. this lawsuit prevented the original planned 2017 Milestone revival from happening then in 2021 Cowan says this quote:During a DC press conference attended by CBR, Cowan spoke about how McDuffie's influence would continue to be felt in Milestone's comics and movie projects. "Dwayne McDuffie was such an important part of what we did. He was such a linchpin in how we started and the architect of so much that happened with Milestone, that it's impossible to continue without the DNA of what he did, in almost everything that we've done and what we're doing now," Cowan said. "So in that sense, yeah, we're continuing the legacy of Dwayne McDuffie, because it's inherent in all the characters that came out of that first incarnation of the Dakota Universe." quote:"You'll notice some things. You'll see [it] on the first Hardware cover. You'll see some tributes to Dwayne in unexpected places. Our fallen colleague is never far from our hearts ever. He's very close to what we do. Charlotte, his widow, is wonderful. We're all good with her, and the McDuffie family and Milestone will go forward in the future and keep forging our path together. That's what's going on with the family. That's what's going on with Dwayne’s legacy. It's solid with us." that's only two years after the lawsuit was settled so who knows what the gently caress is going on at this point

Is Geoff Johns still with the DC Movie production side? Because the only downside I can see about cancelling the Flash movie is if he's still there, then he'll insist that any future Flash movie has to be based on "Flashpoint".

I mean if he doesn't I'm sure someone else will. For better or for worse, it's become a very popular story. PLUS, it involves alternate universe shenanigans, and as Disney/Marvel are (insistent on) showing, multiverses are hot right now.

Weirdly the Flash is the only upcoming DC movie other than aquaman 2 and joker 2 the musical that Johns isn't a producer on. Which you think he would be since he wrote what was probably the second most memorable Flash run.

I think Johns still has a title there, but it is not clear who is actually "in charge" of coordinating the DC Movies. My impression was always that his position was essentially "here is a guy you should talk to if you are making a DC movie, and his name should be in the credits" and not "Here is the person you need to impress or you will not get funding for your movie". The former can be highly influential if you have worthwhile things to say. I don't think Johns has that in him

Yeah, it sucks that the movie got scrubbed, but him not getting his hands on it probably saved some poor soul from getting nuked by discovery’s legal team for leaking it.

The shittiest part of deleting everything is now you have a whole host of people, above and below the line, who worked on the movie for a long period of time who don't even have rough footage for their reel. So now they get to explain a long gap in their work with "trust me, I really did work on that movie" or worse, maybe they felt it was honestly the best work they've done and they have absolutely no way to show that for future jobs.

The silver lining is that because of this whole situation, if someone ever asks them if the movie on their resume was ever actually real, then they can just tell them to google "Batgirl" and they will have 10,000 articles about how WB/D dumped a nearly finished movie.

To get the tax write off, WBD needs to argue that they are getting no value for all the money they put in to the movie, not now not ever. Making any other argument is tough because they don't know if they could release a brief clip as part of an ad for something else, but then the clip really blows up and what they thought would be a $50k ad is now really worth $1mil, so that could really change their write off in the past. From the accounting side, trying to get anything out of the movie is expensive and a management headache, and that's ignoring the possibility that people find out they killed a good movie.

Declare the movie a write off. That it is of no value and destroy all the copies of it. Then "whoops, a copy got leaked online. Now that the film is on the Internet, it truly is worthless. Who would pay for this movie now that it is on the Web?"

Those people are so plainly vengeful idiots that it feels almost unfair to even associate them with Snyder fans. And that's ME saying that! They don't care about anything other than some weird idea of punishing Hamada and Warner Bros. by proxy. Even "restoring the Snyder-verse" is secondary to puffing up the unbelievably rich CEO who's going to maybe hurt the person who slighted them. It's really weird.

They are about as relevant to people who like Snyder movies as people complaining about vagina bones are to JRPG fans
