The image, which has since been removed, doesn’t give away too much. However. Warner Bros. is clearly alarmed by the leak. The movie studio has a history of cracking down on the unauthorized distribution of leaked material and this is no exception.

Won't someone think of the corporations?!

Fair point, but unless you're just interested in seeing something do poorly, leaks can absolutely fuck over somethings chances of success, often with no particular benefit.

Possibly, but I'd think there's an equal chance that it interests new customers. I'd have to see data proving either way.

But it's still ridiculous to be so concerned about the corporation that made a kabillion dollars in profit last year. If they're so go at their business that they can make those kinds of profits, one leaked image is not a problem.
