Looks like what I said was happening- a lot of high profile creatives were cancelling meetings with Warner Brothers. After all, who wants to spend years of their life working on something to find it shoved in a vault so fat cats can get a tax break?

I happened to be in Glasgow a couple of years ago when much of the city centre was shut down for shooting Batgirl. One street was full of various American vehicles, and some buses decked out in a Gotham Transit Authority livery:

When I heard about the film being canned, it did make me think about the hundreds of people involved in just those couple of days' filming who you wouldn't even consider part of the film - the buses were presumably hired and driven up from continental Europe, there were scores of traffic marshalls who'd shut off the streets; businesses were compensated for lack of trade or having to shut for the day. What a bloody waste of everyone's time and resources.
