DC/WB Films/Worlds (No Spoilers)

[Frontier]

Yeah, technically many of these characters should be in public domain...so anyone would be able to write/produce stories with them. Unfortunately, that isn't the case.

So long as WB allows it, it's acceptable (of course, doesn't mean one has to like it). I guess, at the end of the day, what matters is how different an interpretation is - beyond a certain point, character becomes unrecognizable. I don't think Snyder took it too far with characterizations in MoS and BvS.

I guess it also depends on one's personal taste and conception of the character. I don't think Snyder did that well with them either.
