Jerk. He's not clear on the names. He doesn't really seem interested in the characters. The designs are still really busy "A bajillion moving parts!" What about a decent script? I'd love to see one of those.
I'm not angry... I just hate most things.

No, I doubt you would. That would take away an opportunity to complain.

Bay is not a 'jerk'. He's not even offensive towards the fandom in general.

Most of the interview is him discussing how much time and consideration was actually put into the choices and decisions for the movie. The comment about the flames aside, it sounds like a few people really worked over what could reasonably and realistically be done in a major movie, took in as much fan input as possible, and went from there.

It seems that no one involved in this film is setting it up to be a quick dollar fandom disaster. This movie isn't going to be Catwoman (lame and off target). It's going to be frickin Batman Returns (an out standing re-visioning).
