And to think it was fan backlash that was a huge part of him dropping out of the Justice League movie he was developing.

I thought it was more of that huge ass writers strike. They were already in Australia ready to film, had costumes and the whole 9 but the writers strike killed it..the same writers strike that would've saved Quantum of Solace

It certainly didn't help but fan outrage over the cast (which admittedly didn't seem all that on paper) was the biggest reason it got put on hold indefinitely.

Meh agree to disagree on that one. They were already on location, actors signed, ready to shoot. At that point, you've invested too much money to stop based on fan outrage. But a writer's strike will kill anything quickly
Nah, fan outrage really didn't matter...it was a combination of the writer's strike, the budget ballooning to insane proportions and WB golden boy Christopher Nolan not liking the idea of two movie Batmen happening at the same time (because Nolan was working on the TDK trilogy at the time). George Miller talked about it in a podcast earlier this year.
Exactly. Fan outrage can kick rocks once you've already signed a cast and started production. But a writers strike along with a big budget getting bigger and politics will kill anything
holy shyt

Justice League was temporarily put on hold because of the writer's strike, but production was picked up again afterwards. What happened is that TDK was such a huge success that it put everyone on the Nolan kool-aid, and that directly affected how people looked at the JL movie that featured precisely 0% of Nolan's Batman. Outrage might've been too big a term but like I said in my first post, there was fan backlash against the movie, and unlike most comic book movies where it was just a bunch of hardcore fans objecting the idea, it was everyone who loved TDK, which literally was everyone.
Studios might rarely listen to fan response, but this was a situation where the movie was already bleeding money and WB realized that there was no fanbase waiting for it.
I mean, what do you think happened with that Michael Bay produced TMNT movie when they announced they pretty much changed everything that makes them the TMNT, and later fell back on that and made a more faithful adaptation? That the studio smartened up by themselves? Or did they get a bunch of surveys (and possibly very poorly made powerpoints) showing that half of the intended audience (nostalgia fans) hated what they were doing. It's one thing when you already know a movie is going to be successful despite fans complaining (see the Transformers franchise), it's another when you're trying to set up something 'new' and don't have that guarantee.
There's a difference in changing things about a movie due to fan response and surveys and early showings and scrapping it altogether breh. Big difference.
