Is Warner Brothers About To Screw Up The DCEU Before It Takes Off?

Reading stories like the one I just did infuriates me.  It's when a production company and their higher-ups tell the writer and/or director that they want to change things about their movie because it "polls" better with their audience.  In this case, that "audience" was a bunch of Warner Brothers execs that got to see the first rough draft screening of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.  A bunch of out-of-touch execs seem to know what works and what doesn't.  Go ask FOX about that and Firefly, and let me know what you find out!

So what are they wanting to have changed?  After they all watched the movie, they decided that there needs to be more Batman than Superman in the film.  They're having the editing department go back and make changes to the final cut to allow this.  Problems?  One, they're watching this movie with rose-colored glasses!  Do you honestly think any one of them wants this movie to suck?  Do you think that this attitude might be clouding their judgement?  Two, audiences haven't really got a taste of how well Ben Affleck will do as the Dark Knight.  He might be having great success as an actor and a director right now, but let's not forget Daredevil!  You don't think he screwed that movie up?  Then why is the Netflix series doing so well?  Three, Warner Brothers has to have Batman be successful.  Not only is he one of the headliners in the movie, he'll be taking the lead in the upcoming Justice League movies, be making an appearance in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie, and reports are that he's signed on to help write, direct, and star in three stand-alone Batman movies, where as Henry Cavill and Superman's Man of Steel 2 has recently been shelved.  This is how they say thanks to the guy after kick-starting the DCEU with the Man of Steel movie.  Thanks Henry, go sit in the corner and wait for us to call you.

One of the reasons that they're hesitant to go forward with the Superman follow-up was due to the lack luster showing of The Man From U.N.C.L.E., which even though didn't perform well at the box office, was a pretty damn good movie.  But dollars will win out over everything else with these guys every single time.

What are your thoughts on the whole thing?  Should Warner Brothers get involved, or let the director give us his original vision?  Leave me your thought in the comments down below.
