i still can't understand why they didn't go with Ivy instead of BOP. if WB didn't let them use her then how stupid they can be.

WB's way of thinking: A big-time director wants to avoid the massive mistake GL 2011 was, we want to keep it canon, so no thank you.McQuarrie didn't gave a written presentation, but If I'm correct, his take was unconnected to DCEU, he described that they wanted him to fix "their broken bones", which implies that they wanted him to make his movie within DCEU, which he declined.
In anycase, WB are super wary of another GL movie, which apparently McQuarrie was pushing for.
It was a case of bad timing and wanting to take franchise in a completely new direction (which in itself, is not a bad idea but it's debatable) and asking them to green-light a wrong movie (GL).
Both Superman and GL were going to need big budgets and I can see why they developed cold feet.
It was a case of bad timing, Time Warner was going to be acquired by AT&T, they would have to convince shareholders and investors that spending money on a property that tanked in 2011 was a sound business decision.WB's way of thinking: A big-time director wants to avoid the massive mistake GL 2011 was, we want to keep it canon, so no thank you.
It's going to be on HBO Max, and Berlanti & Co now have more experience, like it or not many CW shows have been successfulAlso WB: Let's give our HBO Max GL series to the terrible team behind the mess that is CW/DC
That’s a fantastic title.I maintain that BoP should’ve been titled Harley Quinn feat. the Birds of Prey. Would’ve made it clear it was a Harley movie and played up the music aspect. But oh well, WB doesn’t pay me for my branding genius.
He deserves to look his best as his time in the role comes to a close. I hope the director’s cut makes him look like a billion bucks.
@Superchan, just out of curiosity, when was the last time you reached out to your source and will you again in the future?
I am just speculating here but I honestly think that JJ is producing/overseeing all Superman related projects at WB, I think he's producing the Kalvin Ellis Superman ( I'm not gonna call it "black Superman" anymore) and producing/directing Cavill's Superman....AND possibly overseeing the rumoured Brandon Routh Superman mini series that we heard about a while back.
Basically, I believe that JJ met with WB in 2019 (or maybe even 2018) and Warners said "join us and we'll give you the keys to the Superman franchise as a whole", to which JJ said "sold!".
No Tra-el he's not a "source", I'm not connected to hollywood in any form or shape, he was simply an individual that came to the hospital years ago with a serious medical issue and I was on the medical team that treated him. He stayed in the hospital for a while and in that time he found out that I was a big Superman fan and I found out that he works at WB (not the DC division though) and so he told me stuff like Superman dying in BvS and how Suicide Squad was a giant mess, all of which turned out to be true.
Early Feb last year I saw him again (purely by chance) in outpatients clinic and after we said our hellos he told me that heard about Cavill's contract details but he didn't know whether JJ Abrahams was doing Superman or not.
I wholeheartedly believe the guy and I believe that we'll be getting Superman solos in the near future in addition to the "black Superman" project and will continue to believe it until Cavill, his agent or WB say otherwise.
