Honestly, I can’t call BS on this report as I know – based on the folks I’ve talked to who have knowledge of the situation – that Warner Bros. is indeed concerned about how BvS will be received by audiences; and thus, how it will perform at the box office. Personally, I think the right term to use is “nervous” as opposed to “worried”. With so much riding on BvS, it’s only natural for the studio to be, well, nervous.
I can also say that I know some people who have seen the film and they raved about it – which apparently is the opposite of what Mr. McWeeny has heard based on his comments in the video. Keep in mind that while BvS is a comic book-based film with superheroes, it isn’t “popcorn fluff”, if you will. Maybe Warner is nervous how the mainstream audience will react to such a film that’s frankly diametrically different from what Marvel (as it should be) is doing with their cinematic universe.
the movie is probably full of endless pits of backstories on top of backstories on top of backstories that is signature of Zack Snyder being unable to tell a story
Judging by Man of Steel, it's prob gonna be a movie that tries to take itself too seriously to attempt to shy away from superhero tropes only to end up being more cheesy because of it.
First of all, this is a report on another site's opinion piece of a comment made by yet another site about something WB allegedly said. What the heck.
Secondly, there's nothing in said opinion piece that even said anything close to "deep story written by an Oscar winner".
This is a very weird article.

Well much like MOS flew over the heads of a lot of you guys, for being such a deeply rooted exposition of love, life, religion, hope, and who we are as human beings, I can understand the concerns. This is comic book movies for the arture.
Oh god this movie is going to suck isn't it?

Preposterous.BOF speculates that the mainstream audience is used to the “popcorn” movies that Marvel produces, and won’t respond well to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’s deep story that was written by an Oscar winner.
Batman-News is usually good too. I don't know what's the deal with this article.WB never said this, and the original source of this report never said the Marvel movies are dumb and that BvS has a deep story.
Don't see the point of this thread other than people acting stupid.
For real, in said opinion piece this is the crucial bit of information
No note about "Oscar winning writer" at all. Just that it would be very different from the Marvel films.
Please update the OP.

Man of Steel took itself too seriously? Was Zod giving Shakespearian monologues or something? What are you talking about?
Well yeah, but WB shouldn't pretend like its superhero movies are fucking deep or something.
Another shit thread on BvS...another Monday. Seems about right.
Sort of off-topic but I just ate a Cheeto that looked like penis.
