Biggest hype missJustice LeagueThe 2017 theatrical Justice League was substantially reshot by director Joss Whedon after Zack Snyder's departure -- officially estimated at 15-20% of the film but described by the cinematographer as closer to 90% -- contradicting its marketing as Snyder's singular vision, which is part of why Warner Bros. later released an entirely different 'Snyder Cut' in 2021.Claim that held upCoyote vs. AcmeYes — Coyote vs. Acme holds a real 95% Rotten Tomatoes score after Warner Bros. initially shelved it for a tax write-off. It has outgrossed that $30M write-off, but real box office data shows it hasn't yet recouped its actual $72M production budget.

Not a trust score: it covers only the claims we've checked, and small samples move a lot. Last PixProof Sep 13, 2026.

▸ SOCIAL PRESENCE

▸ CLIMATE COMMITMENT

100% renewable electricity by 2030 (inherited from legacy Discovery's RE100 membership); legacy Warner Bros. had targeted near-zero Scope 1/2 emissions by 2025.

Real progress: Warner Bros. Discovery has not set new science-based targets or updated combined GHG goals since the 2022 Warner-Discovery merger — the company is currently running on pre-merger legacy pledges rather than a unified, validated target.
