Or, they're possibly scrapping it altogether, as I suspect will happen in the end. It was supposed to start filming this spring, but now they've stopped production.
Of course, if the screenplay was really going to be similar in any ways to the debacle surrounding Identity/Infinite Crisis, as this older news seems to tell, then maybe that's good news, as any resulting movie could be an embarrassment?
What this does tell, however, is that by this point, Warner, as the owner of DC's properties, may have totally botched any chance of really expanding their movie adaptations of DC products to more than just Superman and Batman, for example. They said that a Wonder Woman movie would depend on the success of the Justice League movie, but now it may not be, and probably not a WW movie either. But I know what led to this dilemma: the Catwoman movie. Whatever possessed them to think that would be so great an idea to produce?
