Being out of touch is totally normal human David Zaslav's thing. Remember the Batgirl movie?

Oh, could you explain this to me like I'm five? I haven't watched the Batgirl movie and I'm not aware of the surrounding context

HBO threw out the whole thing after it was already finished filming as a tax write off.

Thanks,
I will check that just by curiosity :)

Instead of releasing the Batgirl movie, which was pretty much complete and fans were excited about, Zaslav canceled it for the tax write off.

So HBO wants a drama, just to get a tax off, Thats what i've to understand ? 😆

Who knows, but Zaslav has a reputation for being wildly out of touch.

[-] storksforlegs@beehaw.org 14 points 1 month ago

Yes. Out of touch and also disdainful of the entertainment his compankes make, seemingly.

Hes the kind of guy who would attend a TCM event with famous directors and talk about how he loved film, only to attempt killing off the whole channel not long after (he was talked out of it by some of those same directors)

He hates all entertainment that isnt cheap reality TV, and is the worst possible person to oversee an entertainment empire.

Yup. At least James Gunn seems to be doing good things with the DC stuff
