He's been getting beyond roasted on Twitter and Reddit every single time he posts anything about DC-- "you're wrong! This is propaganda! etc." Basically every BvS fan painting him as some shill in Disney's pockets, claiming every news item he breaks is inaccurate, etc. He's an asshole, but know-nothings constantly flooding his social media accusing him of just making shit up are way worse imo. As a result, I didn't mind the gloating-- that Batmobile photo is probably as good as film nerd blogger trolling gets.
