    I’d seen this all multiple places before but doing a quick search here is a source on the most recent round of Netflix and superman stuff

    Source

    Personally I think a lot of this is overblown. Specifically the not wanting shirtless scenes and stuff is a personal thing that’s up to the comfort of the actor. The bits I don’t like are harassing women and his previous comments about the MeToo movement which make me far more likely to believe the current accusations against him.

        I replied to each comment that asked for a source with a source. Seemed like the best way to make sure everyone that wanted to be notified got notified.

            Yes, I included it in the original comment in an edit but just in case that was missed, I’ll also include it here.

            This is an excerpt from a podcast in which someone from the set described their experience:

            This was also mentioned in the article but honestly they did such a poor job showcasing it I’m not surprised it was missed at all.

              So he was, according to one claim, disrespectful to the people who were disrespecting fans and his wishes to make a faithful adaptation.

              I see no problems here.

              Oh and saying it’s a ‘problem’ that he didn’t want to perform sex scenes for misandrist show runner and writers isn’t a negative. He stood up for himself.

                I 100% agree with that last part. I think it’s a good thing he stood up for himself and how he wanted to be displayed/treated on screen.
