Totally fair concern. For what it's worth, I think this was intended as an interest barometer first and funding vehicle second.
If I understand correctly, passing the one million mark was sufficient to bring in WB backing. Since this would probably only cover a fraction of the production costs, it feels as if they [Warner Bros] really just wanted some market research validating interest in the product.
> Warner Brothers using Kickstarter -- or, "forcing" their property to do so? It just stinks, to me.
I know where you're coming from, but I don't feel the same way. The alternative, in this case, was literally nothing. The production would not have been greenlit, and fans would be left without a potentially interesting movie. Kickstarter has made this project a reality, and that's no small accomplishment.
