Screenwriter David S. Goyer is aware there is a lot of fan chatter about the decisions regarding the "Batman vs. Superman" production, but claims the superfans aren't always right in their critiques.

In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Goyer explained he doesn't pay too much attention to the Internet trolls.

"You're dealing with an incredibly vocal but incredibly tiny sort of [group]," Goyer said.  "That's a mistake that I think a lot of sometimes networks and movie studios make is sort of listening too much to [them]. I mean, it's important to listen to the fan chatter but you're really talking about a tiny, tiny, tiny portion of your audience that may not be representative of what your mainstream audience actually thinks or feels."

However, the writer does feel some of the fan chatter is worth listening to act as a "gut check" in the sense where if he doesn't believe something is working and the fans don't believe it is either, it's a good place to revisit in production.

"I mean, I don't read everything that's out there," Goyer told CBR.  "I wouldn't have the time. But we're aware of some of it, yeah, and it would be silly not to be. I think it's helpful, but at the same time, it's also, and I'm paraphrasing Steve Jobs, it's like you don't give the audience or the consumer what they want, you give them what they don't even know they want."

As for the chatter about Christopher Nolan's Batman universe merging with Zack Snyder's world, Goyer explained there have been many talks about it.

"Chris Nolan and I absolutely had discussions about that with regards to Superman or Batman and where he exists in the public consciousness and whether or not this was aligned with that or a betrayal of that or not," Goyer explained to CBR.  "And sometimes you say, 'Yeah, maybe this is different,' and you go for it. And sometimes you're celebrated for and sometimes you're not."

"And then sometimes you say no, this is the way it's been and this is what we should do," he continued.  "I mean, I will say that when you're dealing with something that is a cultural touchstone I always think it's important to look at what are the elements or themes that are the most sticky, that bubble to the surface again and again over the decades. And those are probably the ones you should pay attention to."

"Batman vs. Superman" will be released to theaters on May 6, 2016.
