    I don't konw if too much stock should be put in Test Screening reports atm.

    Remember - Suicide Squad and Justice League also had rumors of good test screenings and we all know how those turned out. And let's not forget those "Wonder Woman's a mess" rumors.

    That WW is a mess rumor came from a disgruntled ex-employee who was fired, not from test screenings.

    I don't remember JL or SS having good test screenings. If I'm remembering correctly, there was a rumor the original JL cut was unwatchable.

    I don't think it's implausible that WW was a mess at some point, and that it was saved by re-shoots and Johns + Jenkins stepping in to punch up the script.
    As of now:
    All-Star Batman, Batman, Doom Patrol, The Flash, The Fix, The Flintstones, Green Valley, Hadrian's Wall, The Hellblazer, Moonshine, New Super-Man, Suicide Squad, Superman, 'Tec, Unfollow

    Wonder Woman didn't have reshoots. They just made a slight adjustment to one scene.

    AFAIK, the reshoots to Wonder Woman limited themselves to a single shot, the scene with the horses stuck in the mud, which replaced the scene with them walking on the road that was on the bonus scenes on the DVD. To quote Patty Jenkins from the article:

    “We replaced that one scene with a reshot scene, and we didn’t change the order of a single scene,” Jenkins said. “So what you saw is exactly the movie that we were always making.”

    When you consider that WB executives wanted to cut the No-Man's Land scene, it's not much of a leap that one of them thought WONDER WOMAN was a mess just because those guys don't know what they're talking about.

    That's actually false. WB execs didn't want to cut the No Man's Land scene, Patty explained it was crew members who didn't understand the scene and were questioning why they were even filming it. Of course clickbait sites took her words out of context and ran with a false story (no surprise there).

    Yeah... this is a nutshell. In this day and age is easy to make a statement without out any kind of proof and have people latch onto it. As we have seen here.

    Sorry, I didn't know that. I saw it reported so soon often and never any correction, so I believed the story to be true.

    It was corrected, by Patty Jenkins herself: Patty Jenkins Clears Up Confusion Over Wonder Woman's No Man's Land Scene.

    Now, I believe the no man's land rumours started quite early after the film's release, and the correction didn't come until September, but it did come. But it also shows that many news outlets today don't show due diligence with double-checking their stories.

    Reportedly, a different cut of "Suicide Squad" was used in test screenings.

    This "unwatchable" rumor was leaked by some WB exec (probably Geoff Johns himself) just for the studio to save face and to make up an excuse for Joss Whedon overhauling the entire movie.

    Lmao people still think Affleck is Batman at this point? Hell I’d say both Batman and Superman are getting rebooted.
