I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. The new DC films definitely feel like a cash grab to me. I'm sure that there are people involved that care about the making of the films, but overall, it seems like DC is mainly trying to capitalize on the guaranteed box office for comic book movies now. Even if the films don't make as much as Marvel's, they still make their money with merchandizing. I don't want films with these characters to be made for the lowest common denominator audience (like the Transformers films). They can make great films with good stories and character development if they'd just get their **** together. It's been discussed here before, but the cartoon series are proof the stories and characters can be done correctly if the right people are involved.
