   We'd all like to say it's fake, but when there are 2 conflicting opinions, the only thing we can do until provided with further information on this anonymous person is wait until the film is released and judge for ourselves.

   This is bad either way...

   If it is just a case of a trolling, the fact that a lot of people (including myself) don't view these 'revelations' about WB that farfetched speaks to how they really have fucked up the PR and creative decisions the past few years. Bad launches for Edge of Tomorrow and Man From Uncle speak to that incompetence.

   Endless war between comics movies over and over and over and over again . why ? I enjoy all comic book movies, some are better , some are weaker , but why constantly compares . MARVEL fans let watching the MCU, DC fans let watching at DCCU . ( sorry for my english )

   Calm down. This is just one those rumors like that BvS is gonna suck or that SS is getting major reshoots.

      The first its a matter of taste, the second one is a half truth rumor, true the reshoots, but mean intentions on the more fun part so.....

         Matter of taste??
         The whole BvS idea this early was already stupid.

            Again, to you the BvS dish tasted bad, not to me, for me and many others, this was a great film so, it is a matter of taste, i cannot say the film is great for all of us, that would be stating my opinion as fact, and when you put your own judgements on the table as fact ("the idea was already stupid") you sound dumb and i guess you are not dumb so don’t...
            The real test for DCEU is the money it makes, like Marvel, their products could be called "cookie cut" but they made money, same thing will happen here.

   There's only two options here:
   1.Either this is some random guy making a clever attempt at generating rumors, and this thus rightfully criticized by the director of WW. Or..
   2. Everything this guy says is true and the Director knows it, yet is biased because if people believe it, box office numbers for WW will be Supershit.

   I hope she is not saying the truth.
   And why are we supposed to believe what patty says, WW is a movie made by her. She will like it no matter how bad it may be.
   Look what David Ayer said after suicide squad was bashed by critics or what zack synder said after BvS.
   What she said about jupiter ascending and pan was true.

   I love how each and every fucking time an article says something bad about DC (movies), it's automatically labelled "attention seeking" - "trolling" - "click bait" - "unmistakably false". And everyone keeps deluding themselves that everything will be fine because that's clearly what happened before right? Remember the bad articles about MoS? Or what about that one article about BvS (which ended up being 100% correct) explaining how WB was nervous and knew the movie didn't deliver with audiences? "Ohh, the guy who said that clearly hates DC, he's always wrong!!!" (even though he had a great track record of being right).
   It's always the same bullshit excuse: "But the early reactions were great! Just look at the tweets! It received a standing ovation!". Yep, that's right, every DC movie (MoS, BvS, SS) had great early reactions and standing ovations. And all of them sucked and guess what? All the "bad" articles ended up being completely correct. So give me one reason why WW will be great. Give me one reason why this article (even though baseless) isn't at least right about everything (except for WW). Fake or not, this article hits the nail right on the head. The default position to take with DC movies is that the suck regardless... So yea, I'm pretty sure this article is at least somewhat correct.

      And as the letter rightly points out, it's far from just DC, it's WB's movie slate pretty much in its entirety for the last 2 years. I don't know about movie making business, but when almost every singly movie is a flop, the studio is expected to go under. Personally, I'm mentally preparing myself for the death of DC.

      August 13, 2016

      Normally, you'd dismiss a letter like this if it was about a studio that kept pumping out hits, or that at least did it consistently enough. But WB having the record they do (not just with the DCCU), I can't do anything but be inclined to believe it, even with all the missing information.

   The letter sounds like someone concerned, not with bashing DC movies, but
   with saving jobs at WB. Jenkins' responses, on the other hand, sound
   like knee-jerk, defensive Trump tweets

    This letter is most likely crap but Patty's comments hold no waight for me because end of day she isn't going to say "yeah the film is mess, WB are terrible and have really screwed up" is she. WW looks amazing but so did SS and BvS.

       but thats the point of the letter, no one who disputes it will be believed. It simply exists to create negativity at the movie.

          Or maybe the negativity is already there and the letter is just exposing it.

       What this article misses is that a lot of these "doom and gloom" predictions have come true. He has yet to understand that these films will always perform well during their first week, thanks to the unknowing general audience. SS has already demonstrated a 79% drop Friday to Friday, in line with BvS' pattern.

       go suck snyder's starfish a bit more you douche,because of blind fan boys like yourself that the dceu is a laughing stoc,gj empowering them to give a shit product.

       next in the list,palestinian killer slash runaway model slash cokehead tries to headline a movie,and as usual dc fans will be let down.

    I would believe this but after Warner's interference with BvS and SS, her words don't really mean much. It seems like Warner agrees with the director's vision during negotiations then they backtrack and fuck it up in post-production.

    If Warner can stop making stupid fucking decisions then they will catch a break, I agree with this woman to an extent. My issue is Snyder, he has shown ZERO improvement with his movies and yet they keep offering him the job. His highest scored movie is Dawn of Dead with 75% on RT and that was released in 2004, the guy barely has anything good under his name.
    Watchmen: 65%
    Legend of the Guardians: 50%
    Sucker Punch: 33%
    MoS: 55%
    BvS: 27%
    He has been going downhill since Watchmen.
    He is worse than Michael Bay, Bay can actually make a good movie if he wants to, he just knows mindless explosions and almost topless girls make a lot of money, Snyder on the other hand thinks he is a genius and that his movies are so deep and smart for the average person when it's the most basic shit there is.

    If the DCEU succeeds it would be a significant blow to Disney. Imagine how much BvS would've made without the media and critics spread negativity about it. And it almost made a BILLION even with all the bad reviews! The DCEU must be stopped because we want to see more dance offs!

    1. 

       Axxell

       August 13, 2016

       Inversely, if the MCU succeeds, it's a blow to WB. Some would say that BvS almost made a billion in spite of bad reviews...I'd say they almost made a billion in spite of being horrible.

    I'm definitely in love with Patty Jenkins! The disgruntled ex-WB employee bringing up the Wonder Woman film, was a really cold-blooded, and unprofessional move. That film isn't even finished with post-production yet, and hasn't had the opportunity to be judged by critics, fans, and the general audience. The ex-employee is like, "Hey, f*ck that awesome trailer, and the cast and crew who busted their @$$, the movie is gonna suck, Hail Hydra"! LOL Warding off the DC hate, is exhausting...

       If it is truly a disgruntled WB employee, then I'm glad they spoke out. Due to poor decision making 1000 of her fellow employees have lost jobs while the people responsible for the mess are still have theirs. Nothing will change and this franchise will nosedive if the rumors of WW are true. Time for fresh blood at the top, heads need to roll to save the DCEU. What top actors and directors will want to go near the DCEU if nothing changes?

       In the ex-employee's defense, Suicide Squad also had an awesome trailer. Can we guarantee that we're gonna get all those awesome scenes in the WW movie?

    Notice how this already casts a shadow on the film. Soon every single media outlet will report this and Patty replying isnt helping...though I doubt I could bite my tongue when ive made a film that I genuinely feel proud of.

    There has been a tremendous shift in the way people learn about these things and I'm able to avoid the ones that mean nothing to me.

    I wonder how you must feel Chris posting this kind of NON-STOP bad news after all you're one of the biggest fans out there.

       August 13, 2016

       If I was certain that everything is going well with my film, then no response should be necessary. Or at least a brief one should suffice, because at the end of the day, rumors will do nothing to affect the quality of the end product.

    honestly the way the internet is combined with the thirst for any bad news on dc any of us could make up shit and send it to any of the dc hating media outlets and that would go viral in a day. Welcome to the age of irresponsible journalism. This person never existed or worked for Warner bros, yet this internet trolls letter has succeded because its getting this type of coverage. THe media hate didnt derail MOS, BVS or SS so lets start early to ensure we affect WW

    Ugh... I mean WB definitely does something wrong but is there another future film mentioned that is not WW? Don't get fooled by the trailer also does not seem as if it's only going against executives and producers.

    I actually believe the guy. If it indeed is from an employee, he tries to stand up for them(the employees) as he attack K.T for people losing their job ( even though its a part of life). Should'nt K.T learn by now? Don't let you studio butt in on the directors vision and maybe fire the editors instead of blaming it on something else.

    This is basically just the same if I send an open letter to Hillary K. saying how I think she's a mess and how I think it would be better for American people that she withdraws her candidacy and let Trump win...

    But people should think I'm wrong having such stupid opinion IF and ONLY I signed it as "Walrus"?

    Wonder Woman should be where the DCEU is rebooted. and all things Snyder have touched, Man of Steel, BvS, Justice League, Suicide Squad, should be destroyed.

    edit: Mon of steel can actually be kept. and even though I liked Suicide Squad, It ruined the joker and the Joker and Harley relationship.

                I still think it was trash as a DC fa. Batman killing, Superman nit acting superman like and that horrible version of Lex Luther. It was unforgivable. 3 films in and Batman, superman Lex and the Joker has been handled piss poorly.

                Well i do not agree on everything you say only on Lex, i didn't like his performance either but if they say that this was Lex's character trait at a young age then i'm okay with it and he'll change into the Lex we all know now that he's bald at the end of the movie, i liked the dark tone of Bats and Supes, this is what DC Comics is, dark and gritty. No worries about Bats cause he changed back to his old Bats we all know at the end of BvS.

                On the contrary, DC is not dark and gritty. It is however, serious. It takes itself seriously and what their characters represent seriously. This is why their villains are the best in comics. But DC is also the hopeful one. they have ignored that part in it. No on Lex, the thing is that this Lex is not the real Lex. Lex Luthor is dead, and Jessie Eisenberg is playing his son, Lex Luthor Jr. Zack Snyder confirmed this.

          The fact that he is all that is one of the reasons as to why this shared universe is struggling with every single entry. He has no talent to run such a thing and thank god things changed. His last film needs to be JL, and then just let him go off to make his own movies, and leave the dceu Snyder-free.

             Have you read the article? Really no conspiracy, huh.. Now Jenkins has to respond to the claim. All the critics proclaiming SS death on arrival. Now, the racist backlash from the "former employees" cause he's an Asian running a major entertainment company in majority "W" America. I think you've been living in the Hubble too long, you need to get out more and look up the word conspiracy.

       "He's hearing from people who work on the movie."

       That's the classic definition of from inside a filter.

       Nor would it be considered objective. And we know the motivations of the people who are working on the movie.
