I think the previous poor management of WB is to blame for the Cavil and Gunn situation. Remember, WB and Cavil already had a rocky relationship even before Gunn was hired. It was as if WB wanted to get rid of Cavil so badly and prepared themselves to completely reboot Superman just in case. So Gunn probably went to the mindset of rebooting Superman once he was hired. So I'm guessing WB was just throwing every possible options out there and waited to see what sticks. Which is a sign of bad leadership from WB's old regime. So for all we know, Superman: Legacy is written in a certain way where Cavil wouldn't fit. Hard to say when we don't know the full context of what is going on behind the scenes or the script for the new Superman.

Well we had an idea what their idea was with Cavill with the final scene of Shazam. Obviously a stand-in. At least with the sequel they actually had Gal Gadot on set.

A Wonder Woman 3 or a reboot of the character is not happening for a long while, so it is easier making decisions until then. Where as Superman: Legacy is happening in just 2 years.

I mean even Batman has had constant changes of actors, Batman hasn't really had a long run of the same actor, whereas Superman has. Batman got Keaton for 2 movies (3 if you count The Flash). He's had the most, alongside Affleck (BvS, JL, The Flash). I think Reeve is the only actor to portray Superman for more than 3 movies.

I don't think Pattinson will play Batman for more than 3 films either, so *sigh*. You would think you would get use to it by now, but for once lets hold on to an actor that can play Batman for several DC projects.

Yeah it's never really been the case for one actor to don the roles for a long time, at least for DC. MCU has managed to change that somewhat. DC just can't seem to catch up with that despite how hard they try to copy Marvel.

Marvel tries very hard to keep their actors happy as possible that's why. I even heard that Feige tells the directors and actors to keep their egos out the door. Creating a healthy working environment helps. Where as with WB/DC, you kinda here stuff behind the scenes a lot of the time.

Well, Blue Beetle wasn't that great but we'll see how the future DC projects fare, perhaps with new leadership and a new path things can be a little healthier than previously.

Newsflash: Director makes hypocritical opinion. Not the first time, not the last.

I wouldn't say hypocritical per se. That Tweet was many years ago. I just find it funny how Gunn's past continues to haunt him.

Well his past tweets are yet to be desired, especially the long since deleted ones.

Yeah, I saw that and thought about posting it, but was like, eh, that was a long time ago. Still that would explain why he loves this damn movie so much, it wasted poor Keaton.

The movie had complete balls to bring back Keaton Hobo style like Luke in The Last Jedi then kill him off twice making it impossible to bring him back. As someone who never really had much love or care towards Keaton's Batman it didn't bother me at all, but Keaton's Batman was done dirty even if he did get to reprise the role.

Makes me wonder if that was the reason why the Batgirl movie was cancelled because, timeline-wise, it wouldn't make sense.

Batgirl probably had multiple reasons for it to be cancelled. No way would they cancel it when it had Brendan Fraser in it just because of a timeline thing.
