It's not that, it's just that having more than like 3 kids is thought of as unseemly because it's associated with the poor/fringe religious sects.

Or being rich as gently caress. Have as many kids as you want if you can pay for 'em.

Cyborg's whole deal is being a football scholarship type; an accomplished athlete and brilliant student who is his own masterpiece, also struggling with the idea of his hard work and physical abilities being superceded by technology. He's pretty much Adam Jensen in that he never asked for this, but he has to make the most of it.

Whedon seems to have issues in that he thinks he's a lot better on feminist and probably general representation issues than he really is. See all the backlash he got for Black Widow in Age of Ultron.

I feel like the stereotype for the rich is exactly the opposite, that they're all childless, loveless husks.

I think the rich tend to have fewer kids for time management, cost control and risk mitigation due to man or woman divorcing and taking away their money. Plus Leo looks pretty happy going through the supermodel catalogs

That and the thought "raise one or two right and focus on them."

Although all of those spoilers look real, so did most of the spoilers before BvS came out. I remember there being a multi-page bullet point list that leaked shortly before the movie came out that turned out to be almost entirely incorrect, but I can't find that so here are some leaked spoilers from a couple of "reputable" sources that claimed to see a pre-release cut of the movie about a month before release that were pretty widely reported on various sites.

  • No cliffhanger. Film ends with the Justice League members knowing about each other and agreeing to work together again if anything bad happens like this again. Batman was reluctant though.
  • Ezra Miller's Flash is witty and doesn't take things too seriously. He introduces himself to others as the Central City blur they might have been hearing about
  • Wonder Woman explains who Aquaman is when he first appears. Wonder Woman doesn't particularly like him.
  • There was a scene where he was branding a criminal, and he had the biggest smile on his face.
  • Jena Malone plays a crippled Barbara Gordon. She doesn't have much screentime, but she does make a Killing Joke reference about an amusement park incident involving her now retired father.
  • Scoot is playing Jimmy Olsen who was injured during the events of Man of Steel. He does not blame Superman like the others, but supports him and views him as a hero. He has a popular blog about Superman.
  • You will see a fully assembled Justice League by the end of the film.
  • Green Lantern's costume wasn't full CGI, but had CGI enhancements. White gloves and domino mask are all there. He has blonde highlights. Amboyer as Hal Jordan was funny. He was cocky and he had every right to be with all the cool stuff he did.
  • Snyder didn’t miss out on the chance to pack in plenty of easter eggs and references to other members of Batman’s Rogues Gallery. There are multiple Riddler question marks visible throughout the film, and even a glimpse of a freeze gun – the weapon of choice of Mr. Freeze – visible in the Batcave.
  • Fans can look forward to not one, but TWO battles of the title superheroes. For the first showdown, Batman relies on his Batmobile to even the playing field, soon learning that it’s still no match for Kryptonian physiology. It sounds like it’s this fight that ends with Superman cornering the Batmobile, and tearing it open to stand face to face with the Dark Knight.
  • Batman takes the Kryptonite-weakened Superman into his Batcave, and throws him into a specially-constructed cell lined with the same radioactive material (as suspected, with some help from Lex Luthor). In the end, Superman escapes when Alfred (Jeremy Irons) releases him without Bruce’s knowledge.
  • LEX GOES BALD FROM KRYPTONITE POISONING
  • DIANA PRINCE IS INTRODUCED AS THE THEMYSCIRA AMBASSADOR
  • LEX DEVELOPS AN ANTI-ALIEN DRONE ARMY
  • THE JUSTICE LEAGUE ASSEMBLES IN THE THIRD ACT
  • EZRA MILLER’S FLASH WILL DEBUT IN COSTUME
  • IT’S A SELF-CONTAINED STORY, NOT A JUSTICE LEAGUE CLIFFHANGER

I remember someone posting of Reddit that they had seen a test screening of BvS and a lot of that sounds similar; especially the drone army bit.

I remember an interview with Michael Shannon before BvS came out where he talked about doing some mocap work for the new movie and having flippers on his hands. Speculations blew up for a hot minute and people got really stupid on the Internet, and then Shannon twittered that it was a joke. God times.

Josh Wheldon has gone too far this time.

His wife claims he was having an affair on the set of BtVS, but I think maybe he was having an affair on the set of one of his movies and she just got confused because it looked like a TV show.
