It wasn't canned because SM3 was atrocious, it was canned because Raimi didn't want to play ball.
This Batman didn't need to end, they could have brought in Robin, kept Bruce and Selina and done : Riddler, Penguin, Hush, Hugo Strange, Black Mask, Great White Shark, Harley Quinn, Ventriloquist, Zsasz, Pyg, etc etc. But Heath died and Nolan's world apparently ended.
"Sam, we need you to rush this movie out, even faster then the last."
"No Sony, I won't do that. I'd like to make a good movie. You know, something the last film wasn't due to your bull****."
"You will bow before us! We are your masters. WE CONTROL EVERYTHING. AND WE SAY....MOAR VENOM AND MOAR ACTION. AND DO IT IN 2 WEEKS! OR WE WILL HAVE YOUR SOUL!"
"Come get some...."
I wouldn't play ball with idiots like that. Would you agree to make an inferior product in favor of money, and more ridicule?
Sam walked for a reason. I don't think anyone can blame him. It wasn't going to work. Sony's fault. They could've left him, for the most part, alone. And made a film that was just as grand as Spider-Man 2. '
But they didn't. And that's their fault. They should've played ball the right way. Now they're just a remake/reboot/halfassed studio, instead of what they once were.
