It seems the rumours about Joss Whedon, the director who took over the reigns of Justice League from Zack Snyder, no longer directing the DCEU’s Batgirl movie were true. Whedon has finally admitted that he will not be involved and that he “failed”.
After the lacklustre performance of Justice League at the box office and the retaliation from avid DC fans, it seems Warner Bros. has made a decision to let Whedon step down from Batgirl, and most probably other projects.
In a new statement from the Avengers director, he takes on much of the blame and adds that he, ultimately, “failed”:
“Batgirl is such an exciting project, and Warners/DC such collaborative and supportive partners, that it took me months to realise I really didn’t have a story. I’m grateful to Geoff and Toby and everyone who was so welcoming when I arrived, and so understanding when I… uh, is there a sexier word for failed?”
Despite Whedon mentioning story issues, it’s probably a better idea to have a female director for the project in the current Hollywood climate. Whedon has come under the hot seat recently after an open letter from his ex-wife called him a hypocrite and mentioned that he had multiple affairs over the years.
While this might be sad news for some, Snyder fans will be happy to see Joss Whedon get the boot. Many fans hold him solely responsible for Justice League‘s lukewarm response.
Why good riddance though?
Schadenfreude. Most unbecoming.
Dude is a clown.. good riddance for sure
Look at these sour grapes mo’fuggahs. Ha!
Yes
Good, DCEU doesn’t deserve him
DCEU is a dead horse at this point. Of course he couldn’t save justice league when it was already full of shitty stuff that Zack Snyder left behind. #RestInPeaceDCEU #GetRebooted
DC needs to gain some sort of Independence from Warner Bros. It’s the studio execs that restrict DC from it’s MASSIVE potential. And yes, Snyder NEEDS to be part of the DCU. It’s different from MCU, and still has space for lighter stories. Whedon needs to focus on Firelight. Fox says they’re willing to greenlight it if he’s on board.
Er, did I really say Firelight?(LOL!!!). I hear you, but I’m going on a press release Fox themselves put out.
You mean Firefly. That’s not likely going to happen because most of the actors are older now and move on to other endeavours. Plus…

Spoilers: Unfortunately the film, Serenity has killed alot of the characters of the Firefly crew. So that’s not, again, likely going to happen.
DCU Had Atleast 27 to 50% of Rotton Tomatoes ratings now Snyder is Fired and Joss is out it’ll be like 20 to 30% ???
He made an absolute shit-load of money for Marvel though.
Sour grapes perhaps?
Actually he used Marvel formula on DC, and turn Batman into a joke cracking dude, which is not who Batman is.
There is humour in Batman,there has to be otherwise its very boring.
So something has to be funny or else it’s boring? Like the Godfather – a hilarious movie. Shawshank Redemption – best comedy ever. Or how about The Dark Knight – a laugh a minute.
70%+ Of It(Justice Shit) Was Made By Hack Snyder He Even Got The Directing Credit In The Movie.
While Joss Already Said In Credits That “I Tried”
The Guy (Whedon) Has Directed The Avengers (2012) Best Superhero Team Up Movie Till Date.
But When 3 Out Of 5 Actors Can’t Act On The Project Which Doesn’t Even Have Proper Script Justice Shit Happens.
And By The Way After Even Giving Movies Like Justice League, BvS & MoS (Which some hardcore DCEU fanbois thinks were awesome Movies) Snyder Is The One Who Got Fired And Joss Is The One Who Turn Down The Batgirl Project And Left WB By Himself.
You Know Benedict, RDJ, ScarJo, Sam L Jackson, Paul Rudd etc & Many More Great Actors Are In Rival Studio. DCEU Doesn’t Even Have Good Actors Except 2 Or 3 At Max.
Im saying there has to be balance.If Batman is just dark and broody then yes it is boring.Also,in the movies you mentioned-Shawshand,Godfather etc.There are moments of lightness and humour.
Yeah because Batman got to be the most popular super hero ever by being a joker.
Like I said earlier -balance.
People are trippin. This guy butchered Justice League. Tell me why that opening sequence with Superman and the kids was necessary?
Could have been great but DC cant get their shit together.
No…..no I’m not. Joss is amazing
✌️
Highly doubt he will out of other projects
The man who f up batman
Yes!!
Snyder is god
DCEU still exists? I say this as a DC super fan
Only because of WW.
No because i don’t single out blame on one person for the failure of a franchise.
Snyder sucks.. lol how is Joss such a bad director? Think his stuff is great.
Thats better
Damn, and I was starting to look forward to DC movies again…
