I haven’t seen this, and I won’t be, but it sounds like there were some very confusing choices made. First and foremost, why the hell was this a musical? The first was not a musical, and the overlap between people who enjoyed the first and musicals is likely small. Secondly, I understand the frustration with fandoms, as they like to bitch and moan for the sake of it, but why would you intentionally announce your disdain for them while making a film based on an IP with a large fandom? That’s just asking for this type of reaction. All in all, it sounds like this director was either too busy sniffing his own farts or just really wanted to blow somebody else’s money for an unknown vendetta against DC.
