He's great but maybe they need to reboot both Bats & Supes? The whole sorry tale is such a shame. I really hope someone, somewhere is hanging their head in shame.

Hope it's true and both sides establish a middle ground, so we can get another Superman film.

If they're "asking" him to come back, and not "telling" him, then it means his contract is over, in which case of course he's gonna ask for more money and renegotiate, what do you expect? Literally anyone would do the same. When Patty Jenkins said she would only come back to direct WWII if she was paid more (watch her interview with Trevor Noah, that is word for word the question and her answer), everyone clapped left and right. But a man who is walking on Fallout clout shouldn't renegotiate? Come on, now.

Now, is asking for Producer credit a big ask? Sure, but that's just the only sure way he has to not be in a joke of a movie one more time, and ask for rewrites if he thinks some scenes and lines are shit, which he should. He wants guarantees it's not gonna be a shitshow again. Producer is just a title anyway, again, a big ask, yes, but anyone who knows anything about movie making knows that 9 Producers out of 10 do NOTHING at all. The title of Producer is a complete joke, not because Producers have no power, they absolutely do, but no one puts the work in, they just want their check and let everyone else do the job.

We saw the shitshows that were Justice League and Batman vs Superman, the CGI mouth memes, the Martha memes, all of that, we joked about it in here for months. He LIVED it. Maybe still does. He tried to be funny and cool about it, and he was, but he must have been thinking "Never again" every single day.

He wants to renegotiate and have guarantees that won't happen again otherwise he's done for good? I say he's a smart man. Moreover, starting with a big ask is the way to open negotiations to create room for a compromise.
