They still had to launch the play to get it to flop and collect the insurance. I feel like that’s an important distinction here. We never even got to see if the movie had any redeeming value before WB canned it.

It’s telling that out of all the DC slop WB was ok with releasing THIS film they were like “no, not this one” so it must have been especially bad.
