BradHOST
What do we want to do?
TroyHOST
Yeah, and folks, I've also talked to some people who are like, oh, well, this is great news for Batgirl because now Batgirl's going to get saved because of the success of Coyote vs. Acme.
TroyHOST
I'm like, what are you talking about? Yeah.
TroyHOST
Did you not see how Supergirl did? Did you like there there? I don't want to say there's superhero fatigue, but there is definitely fatigue for the genre.
TroyHOST
So I find that super fascinating.
TroyHOST
Which I
BradHOST
think is the big difference between Coyote vs. Acme and Batgirl.
BradHOST
The word always was that it's a great movie, Coyote vs. Acme.
Jonathan LondonHOST
But really...
Jonathan LondonHOST
the reason this made a lot of noise and the fans demanded it remember when Warner Brothers was trying to write stuff off and they shelved the Batwoman movie the Batgirl movie
speaker_1UNKNOWN
yeah it will
Jonathan LondonHOST
never release it and it had like you know it had Michael Keaton's Batman in it and it had you know um all these different actors in it it was super cool and people loved it but they're never going to see it right so they did the same thing with this one at around the same time they're like we're also going to never release Coyote vs. Acme, but we're going to make the money off of it as a write-off.
Father MaloneHOST
His only goal was to make the value of the company more in any way he could, including employing a loophole that allowed existing as-yet-unreleased material to be shelved permanently for a tax write-off.
Father MaloneHOST
This he did to the tune of $25 billion off the company's debt, with projects like Batgirl and a ton of television programming and fully finished, ready-to-roll feature films just disappearing, including Coyote vs. Acme.
Father MaloneHOST
The common consensus was, as devious as a move as it was to shelve the hard work of hundreds if not thousands of people, it was probably because the project itself was bad.
Father MaloneHOST
Really bad.
Drew TaylorGUEST
It was getting wiped from the, the, you know, the, the ledger, the, the corporate, you know, accounting books.
Blake HowardHOST
A la Batgirl.
Blake HowardHOST
A la Batgirl.
Drew TaylorGUEST
A la Batgirl.
Drew TaylorGUEST
And it really did...
Drew TaylorGUEST
I mean, my, my, my involvement in this was very minor.
Rudi GreenbergHOST
This was actually going to be the third film, the third kind of high-profile film that WB had written off like this.
Rudi GreenbergHOST
So they wrote off a Batgirl movie that got deleted and a Scooby-Doo movie that also got deleted.
Rudi GreenbergHOST
But the backlash and then director Dave Green's campaign to save the movie led WB to shop it around to different studios.
Rudi GreenbergHOST
But...
Max JoyHOST
If you haven't been paying attention to the Warner Brothers debacle, there are a couple of movies that have been scrapped or deleted.
Max JoyHOST
The infamous Batgirl movie that was finished and they just decided to just delete it and take a tax write off.
Max JoyHOST
They were going to do that with Coyote vs. Acme and The Day the Earth Blew Up as well.
Max JoyHOST
Coyote vs. Acme is in theaters right now, but The Day the Earth Blew Up is available on Max or HBO Max or Max featuring HBO or HBO and Max or Max and me and HBO.
Dan SmithHOST
Yeah.
Mike SmithHOST
It's like, it's like we, we still can't believe there's actually a Catwoman filmed, finished movie that they couldn't get it distributed, so they just axed it.
Dan SmithHOST
You mean Batgirl.
Mike SmithHOST
Batgirl.
Dan SmithHOST
Yeah.
Dan SmithHOST
Catwoman, Batgirl, same thing.
Mike SmithHOST
Right.
Mike SmithHOST
With-
Paul GirouxHOST
i would have eventually watched it i probably wouldn't have gone and paid for it because i don't trust them anymore but i would have watched it uh yeah i don't i don't get it
Sean DoyleHOST
Speaking of the Batgirl movie, this is me kind of shifting gears wildly.
Sean DoyleHOST
But have either of you ever seen...
Sean DoyleHOST
Have either of you ever seen all of the Bad Boys movies?
Sean DoyleHOST
That's what it is.
Sean DoyleHOST
It's a cop movie that's directed by Michael Bay.
Sean DoyleHOST
But the two newer ones... are directed by the two guys that the Batgirl movie was directed by, the scrapped Batgirl movie.
Sean DoyleHOST
And those guys also, I think, directed that Ms. Marvel show.
JoshHOST
It's such a direct jab at giant corporations like WB that it's immediately just like, oh, oh, you saw the arrow pointed at yourself and you wanted to put this in the trash.
Count CreepyheadHOST
I don't know if I want to see Batgirl.
Count CreepyheadHOST
Maybe that can stay shelved.
Count CreepyheadHOST
Other than, like, Brendan Fraser.
Mike ThompsonHOST
Um, but yeah, like, and it's really, really good.
Mike ThompsonHOST
So the fact that, A, it got released, and B, that it's doing as well as it is, is really kinda nice to see, and maybe someday we'll actually get to see that Batgirl movie that-
Jessica FrazierHOST
Yeah
