Did Jim Leak this fabrication to the press to try and get Burton to commit?

I just re-read all the articles on this and have a new theory.

All the articles list the same quotes and source: Jim Steinman. This was also released when it was clear that DOTV was taking a different direction. I wonder if Burton wasn't sure on this and Jim leaked this to the press to lock Burton into an agreement. If Burton was attached to the show, i think warners would have gone forward even if DOTV failed.

Thoughts?

Or Burton had a verbal agreement w/ Jim and for some reason is trying to distance himself from it - even though its kind of silly business move since no-one knew much about it anyay.
