Fake ‘Batman v Superman’ Script Writer Spills All!
By Skip Harvey
Most of the ‘Spoilers’ for Batman v Superman so far have stemmed from a fake shooting script. Wild rumors began to circulate that Kevin Smith was the source of the hoax, a red herring released by DC to throw us off the trail of real news. Smith came out and denied writing it, which left the question of just who did. Website The Bible of Zack Snyder managed to snag an exclusive interview with the man who now claims he’s the culprit and he spills all about why.
"I am a regular commentator on IGN and when the movie was announced there was this uproar of negativity.People were pissed about the casting, the director, the writer etc etc. And it was completely irrational. There was no sense to it. Just a bunch of people angry over what was ultimately nothing. There is no basis for anger in my opinion unless there is something tangible. Which there wasn’t just rumors. Coming from sites that couldn’t possibly know anything that early in the game.It was a sort of internet tribalism that intrigued me.So I decided to exploit that.@sonofarrogance decided to pull a Joker move, and threw this script into the blogosphere just to watch it burn.Late last year I began to get close to several smaller sites and members of the media in an attempt to figure out the best way to get the fake info I had come up with out there. It was difficult at first. Some of my gossip got out. Doomsday as a villain. Green Lantern etc etc; but then enter Jesse Eisenberg and I had something good to work with.To the fans I’d like to show them that the majority of what they are arguing about online isn’t real. So when they call each other ‘fags’ or ‘bitches’ they should realize that they are championing nothing but attractive lies and judging things without any real evidence.To the bloggers I say this: don’t exploit the ignorance of fanboys for clicks and have flame war baiting headlines that just seem to encourage that behavior. If [you’re] in the business of potentially damaging a filmmakers process before they even have the chance to present the finished product realize that there are people who will exploit you for that.Strangely, Son of Arrogance is a big Zack Snyder fan. He simply hates internet fanboy culture as it is today. For the full interview, you chan check out this link.
