Why I Believe BATMAN VS SUPERMAN Was Pushed Back

Yes, I think that's why they did it, to film BvS then JL back to back. I pray to the lord in heaven that this will be the last long wait and WB/DC will finally start releasing more movies, I'd be fine with one every year at least.

I hope this isn't Justice League: Mortal all over again...

Other possibility-they have decided, or had always planned, for this to actually be a Justice League film, and need extra time to change up the script and cast the other JL members.

Essentially ...I think WB is going to pull a Homer. They have just been throwing so many ideas on while not having a clue as to what they are even doing ...and sometimes that way of creating works. Now it seems like after throwing evert cannister of paint without any reason or pattern but just want for Avengers money, they ran out paint and have no choice but to take a step back and look at the mess they made. But I think while looking in that mess of ideas, they can ALMOST make out a masterpiece ...they just need to get rid or arrange it to work around the masterpiece they created by accident but are now trying to recover. So yes, I Think your assesment is dead on. And to D C'S credit I think they have ALWAYS considered Marvel hasn't: oversaturation. The odds of Marvel shooting themselves in the foot are quite good because of their volume. I think they know that them putting out their own solo films leading up to JLA is bad for two reasons: firstly they don't have them to build that marvel did because this fad will not last forever ...and seeing that its gone on for about five years it doesn't have a lot of time left. Secondly, while they want to replicate marvels sucess they don't want to replicate their format completely because they don't want to come off as completely ripping off marvel. If they want shared universe they need to make it feel different from MCU. Having us be introduced to the DCCU in the eyes of Kent is a good way to do this in this trilogy of films that focus on him. And from there they might consider solo films but before they do that they neeed to get JLA money, in case the fad dies soon. They are using their heads now.

Batman vs Superman was originally set to shoot in 2003. Just over 10 years later and they push back filming AGAIN! I have absolutely NO faith in Warner Brothers.

@MrBlackJack Yup, agree with your points. All signs, imo, point to back to back filming as a one month delay doesn't say to me that there are major problems with BvS they just need the extra time to prep 2 films

My theory is the original people working on this are you way over their heads. Not the actors mind you but primarily to me the original writers. Snyder seems to do better when he is just directing or producing. Goyer I believe understands the comic book canon, I just don't believe he's that good of a writer. His strength probably is more in the area of consulting or collaborating. Whenever the issues I hope they constrain them out. CBM's will be that much better if the DC brand can at least be viable. Competition is good for everyone.

I'm not upset about the delay of Batman vs Superman. Great article.
Good speculation.
I'm glad that the writer's and the director are now taking there time on this film. I mean over all i think people would rather a good film than a film that is rushed which turns out to be bad.
