On August 5th (the 9-year anniversary of Suicide Squad), we campaign to see Warner Bros #OpenTheVault, to dust off the director's cut of Batman Forever in collaboration with Akiva Goldsman, and to release David Ayer's true cut of Suicide Squad.
This is a fundraiser for both #ReleaseTheSchumacherCut and #ReleaseTheAyerCut for the August 5th, 2025, event. Thanks to Warner Bros, the release of Coyote vs Acme was celebrated among the public and industry. We kindly ask WB to do this again for these two DC movies, currently locked away.
As DC fans and artists, ourselves, we strive to see Warner Bros release these nearly finished movies, as the combined costs are estimated to be under $9 million, which is a third of the MAX original mandate. We hope to see Warner Bros and DC Studios release David Ayer's Suicide Squad for the director, the cast, and crew. We hope to see Warner Bros release the Schumacher Cut of Batman Forever for the late Val Kilmer, Joel Schumacher, and also screenwriter Akiva Goldsman who has been pushing for it. Releasing these alternate, more mature, and truer to the director's vision cuts of these movies will not only honor those artists who have worked under Warner Bros but will bring streaming views to MAX with new content while also finding success with DVD sales. This would act as a boost for DC Studios, which is in need of content for the new elseworld label with The Batman 2 being pushed back two years.
This would not cost many resources to complete, and in doing so, fans who are trepidatious under James Gunn's DCU direction might be more open to the future if WB and DC Studios CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran were to right the wrongs of previous WB management regarding Suicide Squad, and to honor Val Kilmer and Joel Schumacher, who sadly did not live long enough to see the alternate cut of Batman Forever released.
Warner Bros, it's not too late to do right by your artists, the fans of the IP you shepherd, and the DC IP itself.
This is an opportunity to make money while satisfying your customer base as you look forward to the DCU under James Gunn and Peter Safran.
To fans, please help us raise $1200 so that we can afford another LED billboard truck that will circle WB Studios in Burbank, CA, just like how it was done for the previous #ReleaseTheAyerCut event in December 2024. This time, the LED truck will feature promotional material for both Batman Forever and David Ayer's Suicide Squad. Together we will achieve great things. Please use two hashtags on August 5th: #OpenTheVault with either hashtag #ReleaseTheAyerCut or #ReleaseTheSchumacherCut. It is encouraged to make multiple posts campaigning for both cuts, and to tag @DavidAyerMovies and @JaredLeto, @AkivaGoldsman, @JamesGunn, @WBD, @StreamonMax, @DCOfficial and @WarnerBros. Please be respectful and kind.
