    To be fair to DC , they were already wrapped filming when the crazy shit came out (iirc). At this point they should’ve just pulled a Batgirl with the movie.

      When it came out, not when it happened. They most likely knew well ahead of the public, and still went ahead.

          People mostly just like to bitch. It’s not even like superhero movies are the only thing being made. But they are pretty ubiquitous. I guess people just see so many cross-promoted super-hero movie trailer every time they go see a movie that they get fatigue from the idea of them. Not necessarily the movies themselves.

          I was listening to a recent Game Grumps episode where Arin basically went on a tirade about how superhero movies are so bland, and how they don’t build the characters and the world… but then turns around and praises some of the more recent movies (Black Panther and GotG I think). It seems people are tired of the hype surround them. Which, honestly, I completely understand.

      Ironically, the Batgirl movie would have likely made a profit, since it only cost 90 million and had Brandan Fraser right after he got his Oscar. But I guess the tax write-off was more important.
