The saga of Coyote vs. Acme has been a long one. With a story by James Gunn, Samy Burch, and Jeremy Slater, it was poised for release when Warner Bros. unceremoniously shelved the movie in order to gain a tax write-off in November 2023. The same thing happened to the Batgirl movie the previous year. In what has to be the most devastating way to hurt creative talent while benefiting shareholders, many had given up hope that Warner Bros. would ever come to their senses and release the hard work of the talent involved.
