>The letter was posted to the website Pajiba under the name Gracie Law, which is a reference to Kim Cattrall's character in Big Troulbe in Little China. The former employee claims that she has had the letter sitting around ever since Man of Steel came out, but Suicide Squad was what made her finally want to publish it. She was very specifically hard on Warner Bros CEO Kevin Tsujihara and Justice League director Zack Snyder. Much of her frustration stems from Tsujihara's decision to lay off a ton of studio employees in order to support filmmakers, but the studio has "dropped the ball" repeatedly.
>"What are you even doing? I wish to God you were forced to live out of a car until you made a #1 movie of the year. Maybe Wonder Woman wouldn't be such a mess. Don't try to hide behind the great trailer. People inside are already confirming it's another mess. It is almost impressive how you keep rewarding the same producers and executives for making the same mistakes, over and over."
Do how do they explain two years of articles like this? Why were so many news outlets so desperate to prove the movie was bad? What happens in the future when more of these "rumors" come out about DC movies?
The issue here is twofold: this news is now proven completely, undeniably fake, which calls into question the vetting process of the news sites that covered it. If they published this completely fake article, what else are they publishing that is not true?
The second, larger question is what the original source of the news is, and why was it created? Was it Marvel fanboys trying to shit on DC? Disney's marketing department? The sites themselves fishing for clicks?
We are seeing this same thing now with the endless articles about how Ben Affleck is leaving Batman despite him consistently shooting them down. There is an entire market of anti-DC clickbait out there, and you have to wonder "why?"
Disney pays people off. The Force Awakens has 90+ percent on RT.

I believe on the news, it makes a lot of sense, the movie reeks on a script written on set.
Same thing happened with Iron Man. Why you act like these are mutually exclusive?

Be honest with yourself OP
Have you always had 100% faith in everything that you've ever worked on? Or every product you've paid for? Every group project you've been involved in?
Not everything is a conspiracy. Warner Bros is a studio in disarray, regardless of WW's success. Consider the Justice League reshoots. The constant shifts that the Batman movie is making. The fact that it took them as long as it did to sign off on a Wonder Woman sequel. The Flash movie being cancelled in favor of fucking Flashpoint, of all things.
It's not even a question of the quality of the product. Maybe all of those will turn out super great (well, except Justice League, that's probably too far gone). There is a lack of confidence and clarity in how things are being handled, and until everyone is on the same page, it's likely to continue. And again, that's EVEN IF the movies turn out to be beloved successful!

What the fuck is this tinfoil hat bullshit
People don't like the DC movies as much as you want them to. It's not a fucking magic mouse conspiracy.
Jesus you company wars faggots are desperate as fuck

>h...ha that article never happened!
Jeremiah James
What if happened? Likely it was true, but the movie still managed to save itself by distancing as much as possible from the other shitty movies.
What you have to say about this, companywar cuck?
Landon Allen
Am I wrong about liking Batffleck? Not as much as the Bale performance, but, hey he was better then Keaton or Clooney.
Xavier Allen
He is a good Batman with a shit script.
Jordan Ward
Agreed.
Jaxon Thompson
Yep.
James Powell
>Consider the Justice League reshoots
By all accounts, these were going to happen regardless of Snyder leaving or not, and are a fairly mundane part of big budget productions
Lincoln Smith
What wa wrong with the script regarding Batman?

>the vetting process of the news sites
The sites that posted this are essentially click bait sites. Other sites that are more 'journalistically' inclined sometimes (but not always) make reference to these without quoting them verbatim OR providing a link to them, and only then because they get a lot of play. That particular one didn't get a lot of play.
Sites like ScreenRant, even sites like Collider ARE not NEW sites, nor do they really have journalistic standards.
As far as the Batfleck stuff goes, some of it came from The Hollywood Reporter, which is definitely a news site and definitely does have standards. The entire article, if you actually read it, makes clear that they have no direct, attributable quotes (e.s. Batflect didn't speak on the record, none of his reps spoke on the record, etc. etc.).
Matt Reeves wouldn't come on to the project without the potential of doing a trilogy and without getting some say in the script. He wouldn't be the first director to have the option for a sequel (or two) but not get it.
To point to a clear example, Joe Johnston wanted to do the sequel to CA-TFA. He even discussed, with First Avenger was released, wanting to do a Winter Solider story, yet Disney hired someone else to do CA-TWS, in spite of the fact that Johnston's contract had an option to the sequel.

And that is why the MCU is shit. They let a good visual director go and hire some TV hacks.
They happen a lot nowadays because people start shooting with unfinished/know it's bad kind of script. After a small passage in the editing room where everyones realize it, reshoot is the only solution.
It didn't happen so much before.

Batfleck is weird. I feel like Afleck just has so much more intensity out of suit than he does in it. When he was just Bruce Wayne at the beginning and looking up at the wreckage of his building with just this look of barely concealed rage, it felt real. As Bruce, he FEELS like Bruce, just this man filled with anger and vengeance at an unjust world.
But the moment he's in the costume, that all disappears. He just looks and acts like a weirdo in a silly costume. The magic is gone.

Now you see how anti-DC people work, it's not pretty, it applies to other fields also hence GG
