Unpopular opinion, but I think Zaslav is on the right track here. The last regime at WB had a lot of projects in motion, and if the trades and test screenings are to be believed this movie was headed in the wrong direction. I heard the words "beyond salvageable" and things like it was too expensive for HBO Max but not not enough to make sense in theaters. If that is true, then it was the right to call to take the loss and move forward.
I think Zaslav's leadership is interesting so far but only time will tell if it's consistent.
