This is the first time I've actually seen a summary of "Schrader's" role in that leaked script.

I'm ... honestly okay with that. That's actually a lot closer to your basic Shredder than I was expecting. If you're going to go crazy, at least go big. If they're going for an over-the-top, Fred-Wolf 'toon meets Michael Bay tone, then yeah, Schrader all the way.

That's actually the kind of stupid-but-fun re-imagining that could make this movie work in a stupid-but-fun way for me, which, from all indications, is about as good as we can hope for.
