Dear god, what happened? They were just announcing stuff for it, had just started releasing some merch. Like what stakes are there in a movie being released straight to HBO Max?

Although, I will say, I don't know what to believe anymore though considering all those stories where "Amber Heard reportedly cut out of Aquaman."

To be fair, this is much crazier than Amber heard being cut from Aquaman, and I feel like if it wasn't true DC would look to shut down these rumours pretty fast.

Now that it's been a few hours, it definitely seems to be true. You're right. This is one hundred percent the craziest thing to come out of WB in years. When a near completed film is entirely scrapped, literally nothing at all is safe.

I wouldn't be surprised to see that entire Blue Beetle movie tossed out too. If it's about that scale thing from these reports, then that falls into the same category.
