0:00 thank you [Music] all right you guys know about the Batgirl movie that got canceled right 90 million dollar movie Michelle did Batgirl yeah oh yeah yeah yeah it got it got totally shelved so what happened is they're saying it was like a change in uh management so now they don't want to spend the money on did they spend like 90 million or something wait they spent it cutting it yeah oh they just had a budget I think that was the budget I don't know if that means it was all no that was the budget but I think they spent a bunch of it they had already shot like a bunch of it yeah who was supposed to be Batgirl all I know is that's Ian's girlfriend what's her name um Ian's girlfriend he's with his girlfriend yeah um I don't even know they were making a Batgirl movie yeah see that's why they flushed it that's why they canned it I mean the whole concept sounds lame but is she hot though

0:50 she's beautiful but I mean they usually are is it Leslie Grace yes Leslie Grace because Batgirl sounds boring what what did she like about that girl it just doesn't seem like she's gonna ████ solve any crime he's like that's her that's Lizzie Grace by the way oh she is beautiful she's hot yeah I forgot Batgirl like what the what's her background like I can't remember anybody I thought it was Batman and Catwoman like I thought yeah I thought it was uh I thought it was commissioner Gordon's like daughter or some ████ right it's really it is in some iterations yeah does she like help steam Batman's cape or something or what else would you do what else would you do she just makes dinner for Batman what else would Batgirl do dude Alfred's supposed to do all that ████ so for me I'm just like what else did I

1:40 remember Alfred's uh gay is he oh according to the best gaydar in cinema all right so what happened is they they shelved it and the directors they're like this is really what they did they were like desperate to at least get some footage of it they they rushed to the server once they you know got the news and the dude one director says the other yo get your uh mobile out and just film the ████ screen like right now so then they go to the server online to try to get access to it they've discovered they've been blocked out of the files so they will never ever see this movie ever again yeah that's such a wait who got blocked out the directors of the film but this basically happened because uh during that whole time where DC had to like revamp everything they like let uh their former DC like uh I guess head for

2:30 Warner Brothers or whoever the ████ does it uh got let go or something like that and then a new director or or the overall director of who runs all DC stuff uh no Warner Brothers is it Warner Brothers because all the movies been sucking assets they put together like they want to put together a 10 you're planned because they've been just ████ things out randomly and now they're like okay we gotta model the way that like Kevin feige modeled for MCU they like we should plan this all out guys that's a good idea you know we did the Justice League and then we re-released in black and white you know we should do Suicide Squad ████ Aquaman everything sucks out dude the second the new Suicide Squad was fired yeah the second Suicide Squad but hey John Cena's show whatever that is that show is ████ hella funny oh it's good the villains that they do on DC are fun like the Harley Quinn movies I mean Joker Jared Leto horrible because

3:20 DC always had a darker vibe yeah and they should stick to it that's what I mean Batgirl sounds boring but I've had Joker girl that have been tight they do have Joker girls and it was tight Bart's right yeah but you want a separate like Joker gold character played by Amy Schumer or just she steals everyone's jokes she acts as a waitress I just wanted him to say yes before hearing what I said but I mean between I think now like for example they've already got so many ████ up things right there's the Ezra Miller flash ████ that's going on dude so what happened with that guy great publicity there yeah he fought somebody in Hawaii he like choked a girl like uh he like pushed a chick up against the wall everywhere he goes he's doing he's ████ up so it's multiple times

4:11 multiple times and now there's like a missing persons thing with his like weed farm or some ████ no way dude how is he not arrested and he just and he just came out finally with like some sort of apology that's like uh you know for my behavior I know that blah blah blah but I'm I'm putting in the work now in order to yada yada yada so there's that then then you got Black Adam which like uh blackened with the rock he's like he's like I'm like redoing the entire you know the rock just like you do with Fast and Furious he comes he comes into a franchise that he didn't build himself but he's like I built this thing by myself right which I love him for it so so there's nothing but random ████ well we got the ████ Amber Heard nonsense where she had to get cut from like Aquaman 2 and stuff so like their whole DC well they did do Joker right with Joaquin Phoenix they did the second one yeah yeah they're doing this do they still own Joker and Batman do they still

5:02 own the IP for all that yeah yeah because that's taiwaki in Phoenix hell yeah he ████ crushed it that's one of my favorites that restored my faith a little in DC and I was like oh they got it down and then they're just dropping the ball constantly who do you know who directed The Joker uh Rick Moranis but the the new one is gonna have Lady Gaga on it too yeah which I'm high for because she plays Harley Quinn she crushed it in House of Gucci yeah she's dope in general she's like she's really really so the thing that sucks is that while some people believe they're like release the movie like just put it out yeah who cares the director said that even if that would happen it would be absolutely impossible because they're not even done shooting it they didn't do any of the VFX there's several scenes missing that they never even got to shoot so they said if that's ever going to be a reality they would have to be allocated that budget in the future get everybody back together and then finish

5:53 the scenes which they ████ up with on the Snyder one already exactly yeah what do you mean the Snyder one though that's why they released a whole nother one right yeah so well first again correct me if I'm wrong but the first one came out or when it was about to come out Snyder had to like balance because his like daughter committed suicide or died or something like that so you had to leave the project it got finished up didn't happen the right way everybody for a long time was like release the Snyder cut release the Snyder cut right so he comes back Warner Brothers gives him like 100 million more dollars or some ████ put together this four hour like epic thing for the HBO Max it was cool though it was dope but it didn't mirror it and or hit the need for like a hundred million dollar plus budget when I saw the second well I saw the Snyder cut and I watched it in like eight parts throughout like three months but I I I was like I don't see the difference

6:43 between this one and the first one it's very different if you watch it in one day it's really different you probably don't remember so many things I don't think you're right on this okay I didn't watch the first one I only watched the Snyder good yeah so I thought it was pretty cool the first one is very not as good yeah so they said they were comparing it to that and they were like oh you know people kind of hope it could be something like that the two directors they don't think even that has a chance it's because they just know how much is left to do and in the the kind of nature of this which was rug pulled from them they're like it's not gonna happen why would they rug pull that if they're because I heard they were gonna just put it on streaming anyway they were gonna put it straight to HBO Max yeah but I mean it's all good just focus on the Joker too and they're just it's just that they reallocated the

7:33 money that was supposed to go that direction maybe they're just like I'm I'm sick of turning out ████ this is all Ezra Miller's fault or it might be the person who originally green lit that who's maybe no longer there and the new management is like yeah ████ whatever that guy decisions were because he's the reason why the s███'s burning down I can totally understand from that point of view though like if I were for example to come back in and it's like all right look we got to redo everything with DC you know what I mean then like you don't start on Batgirl that's right yeah you start on K-PAX too okay packs baby make a Nightwing movie it should be all villains focus on uh Lex Luthor dude have you seen these have you seen the suicide squad uh is the one Will Smith yeah not that one though cause that was horrible even that one wait Will Smith is not in the Snyder cup no no no in the uh the first

8:25 uh suicide suicide the second Suicide Squad it's very you should watch it because James Gunn did it right that's a little that's why because the first one was so bad I didn't watch the second one watch the second one the second one I'm not gonna hype it up too much but it was like it was really fun and I I returned and you gotta remember the second one is not a sequel the second one happened because the first one was so bad they redid it completely yeah the Margot Robbie bags of Harley Quinn because she did a good job everybody else said recast yeah oh it's a fun movie like it's a fun movie to watch it was so good they they did the spin-off with John Cena as Peacemaker CCP head of the CCP Peacemaker is really good yeah now he is yeah he's the white representative he also he's also like

9:16 fluent in Mandarin yeah it's very true that I feel like I feel like at least with new management and everything going on with DC they kind of know how hard it is to they have to win people over again yeah because people are like afraid of it now they need to scrap everything that they're planning doing regardless what the ████ it is take all that money AKA like a billion dollars be like Christopher Nolan come here and do everything for 10 years why why make seven more Batmans with seven different people I don't get it yeah coach Pat Riley there while you're so much so much different like every guy from moneyballing characters yeah yeah get the guy from Moneyball dude and how come they haven't had a really good Superman in a minute well to be fair actually I think out of the entire uh DC all that Superman might have been the best uh not better than Dark Knight right no that's Christopher Nolan's version the Superman that's comparable to the rest of the DC stuff with Justice

10:06 League is a Ben Affleck Batman yeah oh you know what I'm saying like Ben Affleck worked with Henry Cavill in like that stuff and like Superman Batman versus Superman or whatever but Superman never worked with Christopher Nolan's Batman no no it was ever or Christopher Nolan no there was no Dark Superman yeah that's what I'm saying is like there was an ERA where Superman was so sick because we were all younger and then they didn't this darks uh Batman was never redone like the way that they did Joker and all that stuff that they never touched Superman I did enjoy Henry Cavill though as Superman I think that was great casting yeah he's a good Superman he looks like him it was all right but I think it was I think it was it would think I think it was good compared to aka Superman or Man of Steel or whichever one it was I think that was still better than Wonder Woman Wonder Woman was pretty good trash bro

10:56 one woman two was terrible I like wondering Wonder Woman one was pretty good I'll give that to that I fell asleep it was definitely better than Batman vs Superman's better than Justice League it was better than Aquaman it was you know what I mean they should do small build that's what they do they redo small people get Christian crook yeah dude where's the ████ high school but like that that way Superman would be cool though like they they start him from high school and then like build them up I think that'd be cool because we all get the ████ you know he walks on the phone booth put the glasses on there's no photos he's gonna be like oh ████ it's just an hour and a half of that yeah there's a ████ crime did somebody call someone he's coming I swear he's coming he's on his way and he gets one of those ████

11:47 camping Porta-Potty ████ that he sets up like oh ████ and he changes it and he ████ opens it goes to a ████ uh a Little Tokyo photo booth he just starts using fun of Asian photo booths Carnival photo boots will say for everybody who's about to watch uh wakanda forever and thinks Neymar is a biter of Aquaman remember Neymar came out before but he's equally as lame yeah yeah laymore yeah that's stupid
