If he were trans and missing a limb, he would be invulnerable at Disney.

His company email was deactivated and cast and crew were informed he was no longer on the project. DeMayo’s Instagram account, once a source for X-Men updates, was deleted. No reason for the firing was given.


Trafficking drugs, pedo issues, violent sexual assault or some combination thereof. Disney isn't going to let go of such a DEI darling like him and he's not going to go so radio silent as to kill his social media for something like a parking ticket.

Gay black man? He was probably either caught sleeping with someone too young or made a pass at someone too young if he got fired this quick.

Shiiiiit Disney doesn't care about that, unless there is video evidence.

He must have friends over at Deadline to give the news a more positive spin


You’re probably right, but it’s also possible they don’t want to say “fired” and then it turn out to be something else… and then get sued.

“Exiting” is at least less legally compromising.

Joel Schumacher is dead already and was flamboyant but a good director


His Batman choices were a mistake

Marvel announced DeMayo’s hiring in November 2021. The move was met with some level of excitement, as the scribe brought his identity as a gay Black man to the project, and made it a point in talking to the press about how growing up as the adopted son to white parents with a Korean sister in the South made the X-Men characters — and their struggles for acceptance by society — feel personal to him.

If Disney fires a guy like this, he must have done something truly abhorrent

It's impossible for me to read this and not draw some conclusions about what happened here.

Making Morph "non-binary" is a huge tell about how sick this guy is.

And folks forget he wrote the scripts for Car Wash and The Wiz.

And, while not quite elite (there is no single film that pops), I would argue his directing resume is better than good - great bordering on elite.

Joel was a damn good director - just not a good fit for Batman is all.

It’s obvious stuff like this turns you on. Stop changing the subject and trying to lie to yourself and everyone on here. You can’t fool us.

Wonder if this has anything to do with Iger’s comments last week about cutting bait on shitty things. Maybe this show’s gonna suck. Maybe they killed Blade, and this guy said some sassy things he couldn’t take back.
