The Wall Street Journal just confirmed WBD is now scrapping the plan to have HBO Max Original DCEU films and are going to have the “Batgirl”, “Black Canary”, and at least “Static Shock” movies go theatrical just like the switch with “Blue Beetle”!!! :D They posted an interview with WBD’s new head David Zaslav as part of them having their Upfront today too. Posting the link in the comments so this goes in the tags and they talk about other things going on with the movies, TV shows, and everything WBD now owns both on streaming and regular cable. Also confirmed too they did indeed cancel the “Wonder Twins” movie too because they realized it wouldn’t be profitable, though still feel bad for the actors cast and hope they’re used in something else. So the projects made for HBO Max connecting to the DCEU/Reeves movies going forward will be TV shows only like “Peacemaker”, “The Penguin”, etc. I know this is what a lot of us wanted and a lot of these movies, especially “Batgirl” was originally supposed to be in theaters anyway. Also likely means “Batgirl” will be out around November/December of 2023 so waiting on that announcement now.
ETA: It’s now also been confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, TVLine, and others.
So based on her emojis… Maybe…
Hoping for the best…
Check out this great essay on Debbi Morgan’s career-best portrayal of frequently widowed 1960s Louisiana psychic Mozelle Batiste Delacroix in the richly evocative Southern Gothic melodrama Eve’s Bayou (1997, Kasi Lemmons; with co-stars Jurnee Smollett, Diahann Carroll and Samuel L. Jackson):
““We’re two of a kind, my brother and I,” Mozelle intones repeatedly, and it takes a formidable talent to play the sister of Samuel L. Jackson (at his most magnetic here, with no 12-letter words in sight). But Morgan actually upstages him. She has a way of gliding into a room as though on a dolly, and her reaction shots are so acute that the film uses them as punctuation. Her unsettlingly wide eyes flicker between emotions outsize and minute, and her sultry, worldly-wise voice sounds just as one imagines Ava Gardner’s did before the studio sanded down the Southern edges. She feels born of the bayous, as endemic to the region as Spanish moss… It’s worth considering Morgan’s turn not only as a great performance but as the kind of supporting work that’s hardly ever recognized—neither ingénue nor overdue, and not, like this year’s front-runners, a masquerading lead. It fuels the eternal hope that admirers of great performances, like Louis in Mozelle’s prophecy, “open their eyes and see that what they’ve been looking for is standing right in front of them.”” — Steven Mears, “On Debbi Morgan in Eve’s Bayou”,Film Comment (February 2016)
