However, I was watching TV and saw someone discuss the very bias you are referencing.

They said the complaint had to do w/fans of DC vs. Marvel and the 'ideological divide' is major, and that the gripes about this movie may be helped along by something akin to astroturf.

Sorry I can't be more specific, truth to tell I was listening with half an ear!
