Previously, Rogers had described Catwoman as a movie that was being “dumped by the studio” so the impression is that nobody was necessarily looking for Catwoman to be a great movie, instead, they likely were just trying to figure out how to make something that would successfully recoup the investment.
Having said that, once they did, they apparently weren’t interested in his thoughts on the changes that were being made.
Rogers goes on to explain that the Catwoman movie had been through multiple hands for a decade before he ever touched it, but it seems he must have had some sort of an idea about what the movie needed since the studio greenlit his version of the script.
