It's Hollywood; they probably change their minds on what they're are going to do more often than a 6 year old.

It appears to be true...  Do a search on Bing for "Dresden Files fox" and it's being reported all over now....

On ... Bing?

bing is a search engine run by microsoft.
Stole this from Reginald because it was so well put, and is true for me as well.

Cavill it's Superman still? I thought the news about his leaving were true.
There was never anything official confirmed, his publicist said the cape is staying where it is, and his instagram response was a lighthearted trolling that made it pretty clear (to me at least) that the whole thing was probably a joke.

But ... why?

When I heard the news I figured it was more likely the sides were having a disagreement and they were floating it out there to intimidate him.

It was asked what Bing was, I just gave the answer.

As I recall, the thing that started the whole mess was that he didn't do a cameo in Shazam, which some people jumped on as being the start of some great feud, but was probably just a scheduling conflict, which is what named sources reported. The only thing official is WB saying no decisions on future Superman movies have been made.

Personally, I only used it a couple of times, I have no complains.

Same, though the one or two times I've used it was mostly to search "Google" so maybe I'm not the best judge.

Deadline isn’t a gossip site though, if they reported it they would have thought it was pretty reliable. Not saying that I believe them over Jim himself, it’s obviously not a 100% done deal, but  I think it’s safe to get our hopes up a bit.

So this is another item to ask Jim, probably next spring (if nothing further is announced) the next time he's does a Q&A on Reddit or at a public Q&A.

It was not asked what Bing was. I think surprise was expressed about the use of that browser.

It's on some of the computers I use at work.  I can't give you a specific technical reason for my opinion (other than it's maps), but I despise Bing.  Generally, I find its searches to be less than optimal compared to Google.
