It's so hard for me to understand how a big studio like WB who worked so hard to get the Harry Potter Universe right... Is so clueless when it comes to easy proporties like the DCU. We have over a thousand stories that have already been written for you... Whats the freaking problem... Stop trying to make things new and stick to the stories to the best of your ability...
Marvel learned it's lesson with Iron Man 3 and changing things up from the comics... that did not go over so well.

Don't do it, Denis!
George Miller could be fun. Like a "hey, sorry about Justice League, here ya go" would be nice for him.

All very realistic choices, but I think we all know who's been texting Affleck ever since he announced he was stepping down from the directing chair. Hint: His initials are KS |

Anyone even somewhat considering that hack should certainly not be an executive on any level, and Ben Affleck would be a moron to lobby for him. Kevin Smith is a bum that needs to step aside and let real filmmakers work. |

I know, I just saw this as a chance to rip Kevin Smith and I took it. |

Oh no doubt I loved Iron Man 3. But I haven't read the comics so I didn't care who the fuck Mandarin was... But my God the shitstorm I heard from friends and everyone online about how they ruined Mandarin was insansity... I just used that as an example of Marvel Studios learning the lesson to not mess around with the core fans. |

These are the same fans who drove Joss Whedon away from Twitter because he HINTED at a romance between Black Widow and Hulk. |

"Affleck stated he wanted to be Daredevil again instead."

I think people wanted the actual Mandarin from the comics... They are trying hard now to respect the comic readers and the movie goers. |

These people you are talking about are the vocal minority from the internet, I'm not they care as much about us as you may think. |

Whatever the case the reason BvS gets such a bad rep is they have Batman killing people left and right, also Superman is all sad and depressing... People hate on this universe because it isn't like the comics...
Trust me Marvel is trying harder to keep the comic world seem more plausible towards the readers.
