I think the modern day audience is more than intelligent enough to differentiate between the different brands of comic book movies especially since there isn't much intelligence needed as the Marvel logo is bandied about in the marketing for the movies so people know.
WTF? They do this all the time in the comics and it worked so well in the animated movies and shows. That is part of the chemistry between the characters especially given it's bats and supes. If Snyder really said that he should have been fired on the spot.
Terrible title for a Transformers movie but at this point in the franchise's life cycle I guess it doesn't really matter and people will still flock to see this latest Bay offering regardless.
One day hopefully WB opens their eyes and put guys like Timm and Dini in charge of the DC movies, their vision for the DC world will most likely reflect that of their animated creations with Superman the Animated Series, Batman the Animated Series, JLA and JLU which were all pretty good as well as a few other DC direct to DVD animations.
I wonder what are the chances of a DC movie in the same year outgrossing it's closest released Marvel movie of that year?
2016:
BvS Vs Civil War = Civil War
Suicide Squad Vs Doc Strange = ?
2017:
WW Vs GOTG 2 = GOTG 2
JL Vs Thor 3 = ?
2018:
BP Vs Flash= ?
Infinity War 1 Vs Aquaman = IW 1
I don't think Affleck has an issue with Snyder on a personal level but probably on a competency level which he most likely won't tell Snyder out of respect for him having praised his work throughout the years for MoS and the process of making BvS as evidenced a quite a number of interviews from Affleck. That being said not telling someone that they need to improve on something in order to not hurt their feelings is the absolute worst thing you can do for that person and I hope Affleck being producer can actually help Snyder in some ways and he is willing to actually take advice. To me Snyder comes across as very arrogant and egotistical in some of his interviews so I very highly doubt he'll take advice from another director as these types of people don't believe what they are doing is wrong.
