Studio Meddling at its finest

I'll be honest here, I loved BvS despite its issues, the Ultimate Cut really cleaned it up nicely where it was hurting the most.
But my biggest issue with this movie is that it just wasn't the movie I wanted it to be, it was just the movie that needed to be. They could have incorporated so much from the DCU into this movie but they chose an extremely different route. They followed the comics really closely in some aspects and then took their own direction in others.
It's like a weird mix between the tone of Man of Steel and The Dark Knight but with a new Batman. Like I said I loved the movie but damn they could have done so much more with it and I really hope they go all out with Justice League because I want that movie to be everything it can.
It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything. -

I like bvs, i like what it attempted to do, and somethings it did well.
But my main issues lie with the script and it being not fully realized, and the tedious pacing, and i say if the script was richer the pacing would feel like less of an issue.
The tone was never an issue with bvs, however the tone
is
an issue with SS as well as editing. And you're right they could have done a lot more with BvS, so hopefully Terrio and whoever else is helping him finally had the opportunity to sit down and write a fuller JL script.

Ayer was the problem, not the studio. Can you blame a studio for wanting to try and save a movie that was being crapped together? What Ayer turned in was garbage. Maybe they should have "interfered" earlier?
