I definitely understand the concern, but SS was a fucked up production from Day 1.
No matter what trouble JL may or may not be going through, it can't possibly get to that level

It can, if the suits just see dollar signs.
I don't like being a negative nancy, but I do believe that you have to be vocal and hope someone hears, otherwise expect little to no change.

If its like AoU then I'm worried. AoU went way overboard with the quips. I think it would have benefited from being darker like the trailers suggested.

Age of Ultron would have been a wildly superior movie if they could have stopped with the quips or even a few minutes at a time. Utterly destroyed Ultron's sense of menace. Dude kept stepping on his own lines.

all WB needs to do is let Snyder cook... for better or for worse. It's why MoS is their best film yet. Hands off, it why all the worst Marble flicks are the ones with Corporate hands all over them... i.e.
Ultron, Iron Man 2.
Thor 2 lol,

Everytime I come in this thread ya'll sleep, fuck this 3rd shift schedule.
Wow. That is fantastic.
It's almost like EVERYONE could see that coming from a mile away.
All this pandering, relentlessly positive, joke a minute hope and optimism comes off as unnatural, insincere and reactionary?
Fuck.
Yeah some stuff like that is good, I didn't think the Barry/Bruce stuff was funny but that's just me

I'm into the idea of Batman being sardonic and Flash beaming with optimism. Hard to tell from the brief footage but that interaction right there is fertile ground.
Yeah I wouldn't mind if they go for an animated Justice League Batman. He's blunt, sarcastic, and a little bit of a dick with zero empathy (most of the time).
Spoilers for Justice League cartoon

Did he mention a source, or is he backing up his claims with that one Twitter poster who made the same statement?

Seeming like Brad Peyton might direct Shazam. Lame choice if true. Guy has a stable relationship with The Rock and his frequent producers. He made Journey 2 and San Andreas, as reference.
So Wonder Woman sucks apparently /s

At this point, who knows. However, it should be noted that one of the people in that crew also said Suicide Squad was a mess and he turned out to be right.

I think it's too far out to be putting a ton of stock in "It's a mess" rumors. Like wingfan said, it could very well be that they didn't watch a final cut.
Even here, note that this was said much closer to the film's actual release.

So, why is it these DC films are always soooooo ready way before release? Wouldn't they be testing it right now with vfx, editing it and what not? Seriously now, these rumours from one's ass are so pissing me off! It's obvious critics will bash the living shit out of it anyway after all this and base their likes and dislikes based on these rampant nonsensical stories.
It almost seems like having an article about it generates clicks or a podcast generates listens as Marvel fans eat that shit up and DC fans listen as well. It may well be true, I hope not, but I don't put a ton of faith in one unnamed person's opinion of a film that's likely not fully put together yet.
I don't believe it for a second.
Everything is locked down tight at WB so I seriously doubt that someone in the 'community' of some Youtube panel show has seen anything from this film.
I doubt that Peyton would direct Shazam unless WB/New Line were to delay it yet again as Rampage is due for release in April 2018 and I believe that, at the moment, Shazam is currently pencilled in for release April 2019.
That seems too tight a window to get something VFX heavy like Shazam done. But perhaps, given that he has experience with tent poles and VFX etc, etc, the studio could be looking at him for another DCU project further down the line.

We really need a critical hit just so this BS can hopefully stop. I don't really care how well received something is as long as I enjoy it but I'm soo sick of hearing this stuff over and over again. WW plz don't let me down
Could Guillermo Del Toro be giving DCEU another go? I have hardly anything to connect this and it's mostly nonsense, but Davis Goyer and his co-writer Justin Rhodes are also the writers for another Del Toro project called Fantastic Voyage. Like I said, Goyer or the studio could have recognized that he needed a co-writer and chose someone he worked well with before and my speculation could be nonsense.
Pretty much. It's all confirmation bias into then. People will continue to expect the worst until given a reason not to.We really need a critical hit just so this BS can hopefully stop.

I don't expect WW or JL to sway anyone's minds tbh. At least around GAF.
I still think it's too early for reboot talk. SS made a ton of money. If WW and JL do the same, why on earth should a reboot happen?

With the reception of the previous two movies, it shouldn't be a surprise that someone will say it about this and a movie even further off, Justice League.
I don't trust insiders taste on movies, but I will give credence to actual information like casting, location shoots, etc.
It's funny, any positive rumors about how well a DC movie is going will hardly get attention and will be downplayed. Negative rumors? It can only be right. Fuck that noise.

What positive rumors have there been though?
BvS had positive word going into the final months. WB and Ben were supposedly pleased with the Ultimate Cut.
Then we got rumors of the Theatrical cut and, well, you know what happened.
Reboot talks is just wishful thinking by some.

There's the possibility he's another producer on the project and they find another director.
There's been more than one source praising the Wonder Woman script.
You understand that there's a reason for that, right? If Warner had been putting out DC movies that were universally loved, then people would be willing ignore random negative reports but since this is coming after a string of bad movies (with rumors about the issues with each movie having come out before release), people are going to take the negative reports more seriously.

lol..Please?
Nah. Rogue One was being shit on despite the glowing reception of TFA. When those reports came out of things not going well, you had to fight off loads of misinformation. A lot of people on GAF are overly cynical and just want to see drama and meltdowns. Most people here don't want to have a serious discussion. They just want to fling shit. DC just happens to be an easy target.
That's the type of audience these movies tend to cultivate. It's how the guys on RLM have made a living.
Just want to say two things:
1 - Sure, most people don't want to have a serious discussion about a dumb comic book movie that probably doesn't warrant it. Its just funny at the moment.
2 - The audiences these movies cultivate, are in fact, the worst. Really an awful cross-section of tribalistic nerd culture.
