Is it really bad
No. I have only a handful of complaints that, if fixed (which they could've easily been), would resort in the movie's only flaws being the pacing and characterisation of Lex Luthor. Man of Steel, save for its pacing, was a fantastic film. This movie, less so, but you can still see the greatness that could've been.

He's a fucking God, no reason to be scared.
They killed doomsday in like ten minutes.
He's not literally a god, you realise... I'm sure the mild-mannered farm boy from Kansas doesn't share your opinion on his mortality.

Batman's line about him not being brave really hit hard. Can't be brave if you have no fear. Superman has demonstrated bravery several times, even in the DCCU...

Because he's boring. Why would I want to learn about a boring character? I don't really have a response to that. I just think you've made a poor decision based on limited exposure.

fuck superman Usually the only people who think he's boring are the ones who know very little about the character.

I don't care. Superman is boring, and weakening him for the sake of giving Batman a fair (and more entertaining) fight makes him MUCH more interesting. -7 respect points to House Jacob.

Except he randomly decided to just bunk with a human chick for no reason
Orm is a new personal favourite of mine, so I'm not really sure what you're talking about.

He shoved him off a building and caught him with his grappling hook. Had he let him fall it would've been murder. It's not like he personally went out of his way to indirectly save him whenever he ran into a spot of trouble.
You're right. I had forgotten how that scene went down. I thought he tripped or something.

Silly writing.
Keaton Bats didn't save his Joker when he fell into oblivion. Keaton's movies didn't harp on Batman's aversion for killing the same way Nolan's do.

If not saving someone =/= killing, then why would he save the Joker from certain death? Makes no sense.

What's funny is that Nolan's Batman kills people, too. Ra's was left to die.
I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you
There's no difference.

There's killing someone and then there's deliberately refusing to help someone. It's pretty mutually exclusive. So why wouldn't Batman leave the Joker to die by falling off the building in TDK? If it's so black and white, and he's refused to save his enemies in the past, why save his worst enemy?
8655
« on: March 28, 2016, 09:39:20 PM »
I mean, he literally says "I'm not going to kill you, but I'm not going to save you either."
Doesn't exactly scream black and white murder to me. Not saving someone you can easily save someone is killing them. C'mon, we've seen Batman go to great lengths to save the Joker before -- even in the Nolanverse.

Nolan used this, galvanized the character to legendary status, and now everyone thinks Batman doesn't kill when that's demonstrably not true depending on the storyline you're talking about.
What's funny is that Nolan's Batman kills people, too. Ra's was left to die. But yeah, my problem isn't the killing with Bats, it's the guns.

I'd like to remind everyone that Michael Keaton killed pretty much everybody he fought.
He blew them up and lit them on fire with rockets and threw them off of tall buildings, or he ran them over with his car.
I like that they didn't use the watered down Wonder Woman who only uses her lasso of truth, she's best as a warrior who's not afraid to cut her opponents down, and I guarantee that after Superman drove that African warlord through a concrete wall he did not survive.
In all this is a Justice League who is willing to kill their enemies, though I have strong suspicion that the Flash will have qualms with it.
I was hoping that, after the events of Man of Steel, Superman would have more aversion for killing. Him killing Zod would sort of explain why he's so hesitant to take a life: he knows the cost. Would have dried a few tears in the Superman community, I'm sure. Other than that, Wonder Woman has never had any qualms with taking a life and I've already explained my thoughts on Bats' philosophy. Cyborg will likely be useless and only relevant as far as plot progression is concerned, so I don't see him taking many lives. Aquaman will be ruthless. Out of the confirmed members of the JL, yeah, I can see the Flash having a problem with killing. He's the idealist on the team, hopefull.

The complaints I usually see are that he was more ruthless & actively killed, to the point where he's worse than TDKR Batman. The only Batmen who kill more indiscriminately than Batfleck are Thomas Wayne and Kirk Langstrom in Gods & Monsters afaik. Damian Wayne, too. But I get what you're saying. I don't have a problem with it as long as they reign him back in after the events of BvS. I only have a problem with him using guns -- once you open up that can of worms, it's like, why wouldn't he bring a pistol into every situation he gets into? He's neutering himself by NOT bringing a weapon. In the comics, he's hoplophobic, so it makes sense. Here, he has no reservations about using guns. The brutality and killing I don't really mind, like you. My problem with Ben was that Bruce wasn't great. When Mercy caught him at Lex's party he had such a half assed excuse, really Bruce, you're looking for the bathroom? How is this Ben's fault, though? He doesn't write the lines, he just delivers them. I thought his Bruce Wayne was solid enough. We didn't get much, but what we got was alright. You can see the difference in personality from "Wow, pretty girl, bad habit, don't quote me." to "I guess it's just the Gotham City in me... we have a bad history with freaks dressed like clowns." One is "fake" Bruce, the facade, and the other is the real Bruce; Batman. Bale did this pretty well, too. But overall Ben is good. His look was damn near perfect for a TDKR inspired Batman. He's a fucking tank, his suits are great, and the voice modulator foils Christian Bale's gravelly voice perfectly.
Yeah. The visuals, save for Doomsday, are top-notch in this DCCU.

Wait, did people actually not like Ben Affleck as Batman?

Literally fucking anyone at this point. The dude was a marketing cinematographer before he became a director and he's proven time and time again that although he can make shit cool to ogle at, it can't really compensate for his style over substance directing and garbage dialogue. Personally, I'd want WB to try and harness the obvious potential Snyder has at making such an amazing Superman movie rather than just giving the reins to someone "more safe." Honestly, if he has a solid, strict script with prominent boundaries to stick to, like he did with Watchmen (his best movie, IMO) we could get something really special. There are moments in this film that are just fantastic. "Garbage dialogue." Wouldn't that be Goyer and Terrio's fault more than anything? Why can't they just utilise DC's staff of fantastic writers? Imagine Geoff Johns or Scott Snyder working on a Superman/Batman movie script, respectively. Obviously writing and pacing a movie is different from a comic book but I'm sure WB has the means to help them out.

I actually haven't listened to much Nickelback, so the hate is lost on me, too.

pace the films properly and it could easily surpass the MCU critically and financially. The pacing is easily their biggest problem, in my opinion. Both Man of Steel and Batman V Superman suffer from it. I'm not sure if it's the fault of Snyder or the writers, but someone's gotta go. I'm also not sure who I'd replace Snyder with. He's pretty much WB's "big gun", where Marvel has, y'know, the Russo brothers and Whedon. But yeah, RT really doesn't like Snyder for some reason. I wouldn't give the film anything higher than a 6, personally, but Man of Steel was a solid 8 and it's currently sitting at, what, a 50%?

They actually just said that genetic abominations were outlawed, which could mean anything. "Never again would such an abomination be created." It seems like they're referencing something specific, not just genetic modification in general. But more than likely the Doomsday knockoff we saw is going to stay dead and the real Doomsday is out there somewhere, wandering the universe in search of Brainiac.
He'll have a different appearance and set of powers than the one we saw in BvS Yes, please. I like this idea. I mean, they already fucked up "The Death of Superman", but y'know... the Flashpoint Paradox/Justice League: War/Injustice storyline is still my hope right now. Which will correct everything.

Doomsday, in my theory, was a gargantuan monster because human cells are not as robust as Kryptonian cells. Then why was the creation of another Doomsday banned by the High Council of Krypton?

I suck cock, preferably Verbatim's cock Wow. I mean, I don't think Verbatim is the most secure of individuals either, but the response was pretty funny, you have to admit.
