Maybe it's just as simple as bringing in too many characters like WW and DD. Personally I think it has more to do with how the characters are presented rather than how many characters are introduced. Maybe it's just that the movie is bad from a story aspect. Maybe it's all of the above. Who knows really. shite, maybe WB is just being overly cautious right now. Maybe this guy is full of shite.
You guys railed for a long time that DCU could do its own thing and they didn't need a template?

We've had one reviewer (who hasn't seen the movie) say that he heard Warner was concerned. One. Immediately, everyone runs around screaming that the sky is falling.

Take it with a grain of salt because it's El Mayimbe, but he's saying all these reports are complete BS. WB has not screened it for anyone yet.

Fair enough. Just a funny thing to say after all of those discussions.
And again, I think the floor for this film is $1 billion. It will be successful. However, I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing in terms of the creative team driving this....

Well, if WB is not confident about the product, I think it is call for concern. This "one guy" is stating what has occurred from a number of screen test where multiple people were present and have seen the film. This is not one guys opinion of the film. And yes, I am concerned. This movie is EXTREMELY important to the DCU. Now you can say he might lying. Fine. But if you are not at least a little concerned about the movie's success, I think you should be. The writing is on the wall. It's not even about if you or I like the movie. It's about the masses. There is more at stake here than just one movie.

I like Mcweeny, I just found the timing of all this to be very odd. A trailer comes out that everyone is loving and all of a sudden he comes out and says "oh by the way, it's not testing very well."
Some others are jumping into this as well. From Joblo:

Me too. What I'm trying to say is he's so well known for so long, and even in his roles the guy's not exactly known for vanishing into them like a DDL or someone.
Cavill was mostly an unknown, the way Christopher Reeve was before him. For nearly everyone, those guys ARE Superman first. Affleck is simply playing Batman.
I think he's gonna be great at it and I liked the casting from the start for the reason I was saying...but my only issue was not being able to completely let go and believe him as Bats.
Are you talking about him being a comics guy? Yeah...also a big selling point. I think a quality actor can obviously play the role without being one, but as with any well known character that comes with it a reverence if the actor REALLY knows and loves the character. They won't want to see it done shoddily and will truly want the final product to be worthy of the character they fell in love with.

I've sent this trailer to a pretty good number of my non-comic friends and they are much more excited for the movie. Hopefully that's a good sign. I guess after three trailers WB was bound to get one right.

I have always heard it as " power can be an incentive".

I was hoping one person would acknowledge the Kevin Smith reference. Has kevin Smith made a comment about Afflek in the movie yet?

Everything looks great except for that annoying eisenberg. I seriously can't stand that kid. They seriously couldn't have gotten anyone better? I just hope he don't ruin the movie.

I dont think Nolan ever wanted to do a justice league movie. So, they never built up a story to be able to introduce all of the characters in separate films.
Now, DC sees the success by Marvel and has to play catch up. This is why they are jamming all of their heros/villians into two movies before the justice league.
Don't think it will work, but I really hope I am wrong and they can pull it off.
