Brave Hero DC Fan Posts Petition Demanding Shutdown of Evil Rotten Tomatoes

Fans of the panned Suicide Squad, starring Jared Leto, Will Smith and Viola Davis, aren’t criticizing DC Comics for outputting a crap movie, they’re criticizing the critics for identifying it as such.

The film is now projected to clear around $140 million in its opening weekend, which would comfortably break the record for the biggest August opening of all time. To say that Rotten Tomatoes itself is actively biased against DC Films is ignoring how the site actually works. Not to submit to Warner Bros.to demand higher quality films, but to shut down Rotten Tomatoes. The first movie in the DCEU was Man of Steel (2013), a reboot of the Superman film series, and is now its best-reviewed but with a Rotten 55%.

After the lift on the review embargo for “Suicide Squad”, Rotten tomatoes were the first to reveal their ratings for the movie. There’s even a petition to shut down Rotten Tomatoes, because obviously they’re helping to perpetrate this mass anti-DC conspiracy. Now at 13,000 signatures and change at the time of this writing, the petition re-iterates a conspiracy theory that’s been floating around since Batman V. Superman was similarly drubbed in the media: That DC has been the victim of corporate espionage, as Marvel pays off movie critics to give MCU movies good reviews, and DCEU movies bad ones.

Meanwhile, some people were not impressed with the call to end Rotten Tomatoes.

Batman v. Superman now sits at a dismal 27 percent “Rotten” score on the site, while this weekend’s Suicide Squad, while not yet released, sits at 34 percent.

Despite the reviews, the film is expected to gross US$125 million in North America alone when it opens this weekend, according to box office analysts. The underwhelming results led to a major shakeup in DC’s film division. The film has also been confirmed to be a part of Marvel Multiverse in MCU. Entertainment up until February, when it was sold to Fandango.

Well, one fan of Suicide Squad was NOT having it.

Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy is “certified fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes, with an 84 per cent for “Batman Begins“, a 94 per cent for “The Dark Knight” and a score of 87 per cent for “The Dark Knight Rises“.
