Snyder clearly took on board all the negativity he got from MoS and tried to rectify it somewhat.

So at first this movie goes to some lengths to try and show the devastation we saw in MoS (Supes fighting Zod) from the human perspective. Just a glance at the movies title hints at how overblown this film could be.

So the once Superman sequel was now a full blown franchise kick starter/prequel for the proposed Justice League movie. But just when you thought Superman couldn't get screwed over any further, the studio (and DC) then threw in other characters like Wonder Woman and other cameos. Even though it was still a Superman sequel, Superman himself had suddenly taken the backseat to Batman. But as we all know that soon changed, the Superman sequel quickly became a slightly different beast with the inclusion of Batman, so now we had a vs flick. That's where this movie comes in, the supposed original sequel to 'Man of Steel'. OK no worries DC thought, lets press forward with a sequel and make it better. Alas it was a polarising movie and divided audiences everywhere. First we got 'Man of Steel', the reboot Superman flick that was supposed to herald a new dawn (no pun intended) for Supes. Which again is a departure from previous incarnations where he is much more intellectual and nuanced.īut al of that being said, because it was part of a much better narrative, it didn't stick out as much like a sore thumb as it did before.Īh the trump card in the DC universe, the main player, the saviour, the movie to bring everything together and utterly destroy Marvel once and for all (well that was the idea anyway). (Heath Ledger's Joker is standing up clapping maniacally given this incarnation of Batman, when the Gotham citizens and criminals chose NOT to blow each other's ferries up.)īasically, Bruce/Batman, besides clearly going through a difficult mid-life crisis, is pretty much mostly pure ID. What's next? Millions? He has the power to wipe out the entire human race and if we believe there's even a 1% chance he is our enemy, we have to take it as an absolute certainty.
Many examples of this but I found this exposition dump the best place to illustrate it:īruce: "That son of a bitch brought the war to us two years ago. what? Vengeance? Preventing something that may or may not happen in the future? It's made clear that Luthor is manipulating the two and that Bruce is damaged goods, feels powerless, and is holding onto a bunch of rage for the destruction of Metropolis and subsequent deaths.īut I can't make the logic leap from all the content BEFORE BvS into this mindless quest for. That's about all the explanation we get for this new Batman "Punisher." That's a huge jump from comics and the previous movies and it's basically explained by Bruce in a very lame retort: The first scene of Batman is of him branding a bad guy. It still didn't resolve my original issues with Batman's motivations. The artistic talent in crafting each scene, which we can now see fully fleshed out, is fantastic. It made me think all serious CBM's should be rated R. I re-watched BvS Ultimate Edition and damn if it wasn't 10 times better than the theatrical.
