Here’s how weird 2020 was for movies: Unless you saw something in January or February (like
The Invisible Man, Birds of Prey, or
Bloodshot), there’s a good chance you didn’t see a movie in a movie theatre for the entire year.
A whole year without going to the movies. Frankly, it’s hard to even fathom, even though we lived it.
Thor, but they’re the exception. (Having said that, a lot of
Batman comics writers contributed to
Batman: The Animated Series but comics writers have had an easier time breaking into animation scripting than live-action.)
Rucka, however, wrote the movie based on his comic book, and he’s the only one credited, so it’s a rare case of the writing credits on both source material and adaptation matching perfectly, which has only ever happened in this rewatch once before (
A Dame to Kill For).
Mind you, the movie almost didn’t have this distinction, as Charlize Theron had issues with Rucka’s first draft and hired her own writers to redo it. However, Netflix wasn’t happy with that rewrite, and Rucka was brought back on to rewrite his script in a way that satisfied Theron.
