You may be right - there is some evidence that leads to believe that egos come into the decision making at WB...

Thing with the Snyder situation is, I can't even blame them. Without rolling out the whole Snyder vs WB thing again, I'll just say that there was a lot of ****-flinging on both sides.

But it was more then just ****-flinging, it was the use of precious IP by Zack and the way Ray Fisher was publicly accusing the CEO of racism and calling for his job. Not that I am excusing all of WB's actions.

But I do think that when it comes to Snyder and crew, it makes sense why WB would just say "Screw off, guys. Seriously, screw off. You got the Snyder-Cut against all odds and while we are trying to promote it, you are out here calling me racist and literally attempting to get me fired. Screw you. Cul-de-sac. Goodbye."
I wouldn't give an ounce of promotion to Ray Fisher if he was accusing me of racism and trying to get me fired. Not a comic book, not an action figure, not even a sticker. He was putting the CEO's livelihood in jeopardy during a pandemic. I'd close the door on that dude asap. It's what I'd expect of any CEO in that position.

And frankly, Fisher made himself look awful by the way he handled the scenario. He went to great lengths to choose the private investigator that got involved. He wouldn't stand for the one that was chosen, so he went and got a "third-party investigator". He promoted her and shared a clip of their audio conversation online, just so he could highlight the pat on the back she was giving him.
Then, after all that, when the investigation turned up no signs of racist action or behavior, he had a huge fit and wouldn't accept the outcome of the investigation. Talk about a bitch.

But even then, I think we will still see Snyder-Verse stuff pop up here and there, because leadership is once again about to change at WB. Nothing is set in stone right now and pretty much anything can happen.
