From everything I'm reading were they even trying to be successful? I've heard a lot of stuff about how it was basically a character assassination cuz they didn't like the fans and how they related to the character? Is that accurate?

Who would intentionally put their time and effort into a movie, risk hurting their careers and risk losing the studios money? And all that to upset fans of the characters?

That movie could have easily went the way of Batgirl and be shelved for a tax cut.

I honestly think Joaquin Phoenix is the kind of guy who would do all of that. I also think when your movie makes like a billion dollars you probably have a lot more creative control on the sequel than the people who directed Batgirl did. Not that I'm saying that's what happened, it just freaking looks like it.
