That's a no from me..
Trailer was an interesting watch though, but gonna have to pass up on 1+ hours of that
It’s a very well-made and emotional film, but I do think you can watch the trailer and accurately gauge your likely tolerance level for it.
So did DC allow it or is it not enough ip infringing or what?
It's billed as a satire. That's pretty much a free ride most of the time
thanks.
I think it’s pretty transparently a trademark violation and it’s wild it got a relatively wide commercial release. I feel like WB saw that the movie was a deeply personal movie about a marginalized group, with limited commercial potential and zero viability as a “franchise,” and did the math that continuing to fight it could really only make them look like assholes.
