I feel it can easily be argued as a chicken-and-egg scenario when it comes to Gangs of New York. The events happened, Asbury wrote about them in a non-fiction manner, Scorsese used the book as a springboard for a more-or-less original narrative but the real events depicted in Asbury's book are changed pretty substantially to reflect the original story. But to what extent did Jay Cocks and Co. use Asbury's novel as anything more than a guiding influence to get the history correct, and how is that any different than any original script based on historical events? Well I'll say in general there can be a sloppiness, or perhaps a purposeful shiftiness when it comes to whatever the writer of an "original screenplay" tells a true story. For example, Milk won original, despite the film directly thanking the documentary on Harvey Milk which if you've seen the doc, it would be hard to believe he didn't use a massive amount of material from that doc, again to the point the film thanked the doc, but wasn't adapted from it. Which seems a bit hard to believe. And I do ponder how much this very debate (and the strength of a given category) encourages a writer to say whether they "adapted" their work or not. At least The Eyes of Tammy Faye had the grace to acknowledge it was adapted from the documentary of the same name.

Well, this tweet links to Clayton's predictions and there's no official confirmation about the screenplay placement there. He just says "we are currently predicting it to go the original screenplay route" in his write-up. So yeah, it is expected to be submitted for Original. Expected by Clayton But honestly, even if WB does eventually submit it for Original, I can't possibly see the Academy leaving it there. It is, after all, based on a globally known IP which has spawned a shitton of cartoons (there're like 40 of them), video games, books and all that. There's a mountain of preexisting characters and material there, and even if Gerwig's movie is an original story, this should still be textboox Adapted Screenplay per Academy's standards.

All of the “Ryan Gosling is miscast as Ken” takes have aged pretty poorly.
