A report surfaced that the Batgirl footage had been deleted from the server the filmmakers have been utilizing (the article is a bit unclear, but it surely sounds dangerous. Hat tip to DK diarist Matt Z). The motive given for these actions is cost-cutting: a tax break obtainable in mergers for writing off incomplete tasks (like Batgirl), and financial savings on residual funds for the solid and creators of sequence. God forbid the artists make a number of crumbs! Meanwhile, Zaslav’s compensation package deal in 2021 alone was valued at $241 million. This is capitalism at its most absurdly cannibalistic, of income primarily based on destruction. Or, as John Oliver put it, “burning down my network for the insurance money.” Zaslav has additionally acquired criticism for appointing a completely all-white male board (chances are you’ll or could not hit a paywall utilizing that hyperlink).
