'Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice' Spoilers Are All Lies? Kevin Smith Allegedly Commissioned To Leak 'Fake' Script To Mislead Scoop Sites! Is Warner Trying To Discredit The Websites Again?

The series of "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" spoilers that have been coming up may have come from a leaked script. However, that script has been suspected as a 'fake script' that was allegedly written by Kevin Smith.

The latest spoilers came from the site, Latino Review by the reputable El Mayimbe. The latest spoilers that originated from him were about 4 new villains to be introduced. According to Movieweb's claim, that and most probably other rumors (it would be difficult to determine if El Mayimbe or the other sites had only one source) were all culled from a script that was actually not the original script. What's more, it's a script designed to misdirect!

Movieweb shared this anonymous email on their site: 

"This isn't a scoop regarding the plot or the details of the Batman v Superman movie or am I writing you in order to spoil or disappoint the general public.

My insider info regards a who has been the source of the vast majority of leaked information as regards to the movie and more importantly why.

Up until last year I worked for as a PA for a Warner Bros. exec until I was promoted to marketing. It was here I and several others where approached to work, directly and indirectly, for Susanne Knoll and sometimes Deborah Snyder.

It was here that I became a part of a particular strategy that Warner Bros has been using to great effect.

Early this year a Screenplay for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" which was commissioned by Warner Bros was leaked to several gossip sites. It was a scanned PDF of the entire screenplay baring a official Warner Bros watermark.

This script has been the source of almost every leaked detail about the movie for the last six months. It has been posted on sites then quickly removed due to cease and desist letters from Warner Bros.

While the screenplay is legit and the watermark is legit and it is was commissioned by Charles Roven himself...

But it is written by neither David S. Goyer or Chris Terrio.

It was written by Kevin Smith.

Late last year both Charles Roven and Zack Snyder approached Kevin Smith with a early treatment for the film and It was Kevin Smith who came up with the idea to write an entire screenplay based on it but with several huge red herrings and changes which do not appear in the final film. These include plot points and characters etc etc. and 'leak' it online.

This script was distributed by myself and others to gossip sites and movie sites like aintitcool, latino review, movie pilot, etc etc

My job was to pose as a worker at Warner Bros who was leaking the screenplay.

There were several others involved who posed as recently fired members of the production, interns and special effects artists and we all spread the misleading info around the web.

None of this was done maliciously and was a strategy to misdirect much of sites that intended to spoil the film."

This places Kevin Smith's integrity in question. He used to be the fan's insider link, and while he's not going to spoil the film, he gives very exciting tidbits.

Most sites like Badass Digest believe that it's actually just Warner trying to discredit the spoilers from a real script. 

The plot thickens and we can count on more spoilers and more misdirection until May 6, 2016.
