People want to still talk about it and it their right to do so , BVS was a MAJOR disappointment on what was suppose to be the corner stone of DCEU.. just because some people are tired of hearing negativity it shouldn't stop others who still want to debate ..

Right. People are going to be talking about BvS months, if not years, from now. Because it was supposed to be the launching point of the DCEU, and it's failure will impact the success of future DCEU movies. If they under perform a lot of that is going to be attributed to the wrong direction BvS took with tone and pacing of the movie and the failure to keep true to the characters.

Hard to argue with Mr. Gibbons. Maybe WB should contract Marvel to produce their film universe.

It's not as if Marvel has some sort of secret formula that no one else has access to. Other companies are just actively avoiding taking the same route Marvel does.

Any stories that make Batman or Superman into killers are always worth mentioning as cautionary warnings.

Apparently Batman flicks are the only ones allowed to not be jokefests.

Apparently general audiences prefer their movies about children's characters to be light hearted. Who knew?

Yeah, because DoFP was a joke fest and wasn't critically acclaimed...oh, wait.

Joss Whedon?

Critically acclaimed? Aw, come on. So far the only good XStuff is X2, The Wolverine and Fassbender's Magneto (who's wasted on CBMs)

I hate you. Now I want a Punisher movie by Snyder
