@the_stegman: @lukehero: Nah, I don't think JL will be nearly as messy. The problem with BvS is that they were trying to jump-start their movies the SHORT WAY (skipping 5 solo films, and just throwing everyone in one film) WHILE building off the events of MoS, and it just didn't work. So what they got was 4 hours of footage, 1 of which they thought that they really didn't need.
It also goes all the way back to late 2013, when WB thought it was a good idea to bring in a second writer, Terrio. Since Terrio didn't have enough time to completely rewrite the script, he had to work with what he had and work around some of Goyer's work. Also, around the same time WB wasn't happy with the script that Goyer and Snyder provided, NOT because of its quality, but because they wanted to focus on the bigger picture (this is where the 'Dawn of Justice' came in). However, by the time they realized that was a mistake, and it came time to edit the film, it was too late.
So this is how I see it: Snyder and Goyer get started on the script, Warner Bros. want to focus more so on the "bigger picture", they bring Terrio in to rewrite it; Terrio doesn't so much rewrites it, rather just writes around it. Finally editing comes around and what they have is 2 different scripts jumbled into one long ass movie.
