I think that's the point.
They want these films to touch the broadest base of people possible.
Fanboys are a minority.
Most people won't have an intimate knowledge of the source material.

This.....X1000 this

For instance, i love comic book characters and this current run we are in of the comic book movies. BUt i dont read comic books or graphic novels so i cant say i know these side characters all that well if at all.

Movies and books are two completely different mediums. Movie creators change original source material all the time, this is nothing new.

Question for comic book fans: If you watched the first two Nolan Batman films, did you think he was gonna suddenly change direction and make something more comic book pure?
