It's actually probably an issue of lack of empathy.   To put it simply, you grow up with characters, and plots written out, and when tech finally catches up to be able to produce said characters and plots on-screen (that you've waited years, upon years to see), they go off-script to avoid paying royalties.

Not saying you have to care, but it should be abundantly clear that 'fanboys' have grown up immersed in the genre, and the story.  Many of them know every in and out of these characters, and to see it butchered, just to avoid royalties does tend to piss people off.

And whether you want to give them credit or not, without those 'fanboys', these comics would never have made it to the big screen.

 

oh I've done my research and I think these 'fanboys' over fucking reacted...

 

 

Never said you didn't do your research.  Personally I'm not aware of the Joker having any Tattoo's, but, I've never really read any of the comics (So, in this particular case, I'm fairly ignorant).  And my comment wasn't regarding whether they overreacted, it was in response to 'I will never understand 'fanboys' and their feelings.'  I just laid it out for you, pretty clearly.   People grow up dreaming of seeing this stuff on the screen, and when the lore and mythos of the series is butchered, it's like a betrayal.  For me, mine was LoTR/Hobbit, but they actually followed the story (for the most part), as opposed to current Superhero movies where it's very, very unlikely any current plot will resemble any previously laid out plot.  

So, I've never personally had a reason to flip my shit over anything...movie related (Don't get me started about the 'Seeker of Truth' TV series), actually wait, that's unfair, the end of Hannibal, that was a load of horseshit when compared to the book.  That pissed me off quite a bit.  And I knew the Xmen was wrong, but having only watched the cartoons and never read the comics in any meaningful frequency, the original plots were a mystery to me (though I have a friend who knows tons about them).
