Disney wanted him in the MCU, plus Andrew Garfield pissed off a bunch of proud Japanese Sony execs and has since been dropped.
Probably for the best seeing as how ASM2 was pure garbage.

Do we need to worry about the reactionary right?
What with their stranglehold on the Senate and their apologetic attitude towards Christianity?
I honestly wouldn't mind them if it was some kooky sect that we could just ignore within a couple years, but fuck, the fact that the crazies have infiltrated government is where it worries me the most.

Yes, and you need to worry about the extreme right.
The fundamentalist right isn't nearly as politically influential as the extremist left though, certainly in the UK anyway.
Well aren't you quite lucky
Exactly how? Extremism is shitty regardless of where it aligns on the political spectrum. It's not like far left fascists are any less inherently evil than far right fascists.
I think the point is that the extremists on the religious right in the US have a stranglehold on our country, unlike the retards on the regressive left.
I'm well aware, but I was addressing his implication that extremist leftism is somehow preferable to far right fundamentalism. I'll clue you in, it's not.

What with their stranglehold on college campuses and their apologetic attitude towards Islamism?
I honestly wouldn't mind them if it was some kooky sect that we could just ignore within a couple years, but fuck, the fact that the crazies have infiltrated education is where it worries me the most.

Tertiary education, phones and western clothing is an invention of the white man. Bitch should stop appropriating my culture if she's really going to play that game.

Another question I have is what exactly does the Black Sky do? Is Elektra like a meta-human or something?
I just assumed she's some kind of super good warrior or something
She got her ass kicked by Matt and the Hand throughout the entire season though lmao.

Obviously not, but we should still do our best to ensure that basic principles of equality are still being met.

I'd prefer liberals be condescending towards others instead of conservatives actively denying rights to others.

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

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?
Who knows. Shitty writing maybe.

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.
Didn't Nolan kind of set up that scene as a sort of moral grey zone for the viewers to decide? 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.

I didn't really mind the whole "Batman killing" theme throughout the movie. Batman's design and creation in BvS drew heavy inspiration from Dark Knight Returns written by Frank Miller, who, if you know his work, is fairly lenient when it comes to Batman's code of ethics.
The "no killing" thing has never been completely arbitrary within Batman storylines. It was cherry picked by myriad different writers to suit the narratives they wanted to create. 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.

Curious as to how they're going to fit Darkseid into this if they're doing the whole Injustice set up for the future.
I really hope they don't do the latter tbh. Injustice is great as an offworld storyline of "what if Superman snapped" kind of introspective on the universe. It's neat, but it doesn't deserve to be in the DCCU if they're doing Justice League, and I don't want Superman to be used as a dumb plot device for ebin Batman fights.

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. 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.

Just saw it a couple hours ago, and wow, probably one of the biggest critical misfires I've ever seen conducted on a film.
It's not perfect sure, and they're blowing their load too early by shoving all these unnecessary characters in the film, but fucking hell, 29% on RT? That's bullshit, especially seeing how lacklustre MCU movies such as Iron Man 3, Thor The Dark World and Age Of Ultron can all manage to somehow scrape the 60s and 70s.
A strong 7/10 from me. I don't like how they've handled their characters but I do like the creative direction they're going with. All they need to do is replace Hack Snyder as a director, pace the films properly and it could easily surpass the MCU critically and financially.
