During the credits, we see Batman's origins, a lot of fades (in JJ Abrams' lens flare-ish quantites). This reminds me of Watchmen but without the 80s music.
Batman is then with a little girl and then watches Superman and his kind destroy a city.
The acting feels a bit soap opera-ish but does have the whole religious theme thing.
Amy Adams captured but a bit darker, no pun intended regarding an African terrrorist she's investigating. She doesn't say much about it, but the information is inferred well. I really enjoy what they do with her in the movie. It's good that we later see Clark and Lois together, although not much is done with Clark as a character, other than to oppose Batman.
The police are afraid of Batman in a great opening scene.
Lex does a bit of technobabble discussing Kryptonite's effects on Kryptonian bodies. This is why better than the technobabble in Fantastic Four despite for the most part discussing totally fictional substances other than the decay term. Silver bullets are an interesting term.
Holly Hunter's character is vs Superman. She is featured throughout the film, though not much in the end which is regretable. Clark watches on.
Perry opposes Clark's decision to stand up versus Batman.
Gal Gadot is good opposing Clark and standing up for herself.
BIG PROBLEM here.
Now originally there was just the shock of Batman killing people, and KILLING PEOPLE with guns.
And there was like 500 dead bodies on the floor!
But it was a dream.
And then let's discuss later.
However, this was pretty much the segment in the film where I discuss the substance of the film outside of the quality of the religious overtones. and just giving characters a lot of stuff to do.
Taking off Affleck's mask would've been a better introduction to the Batfleck character, not to mention if you're going to give him a mask to put on.
And then there's this segment of dialogue that seems like Snyder stole it from the Room.
Why does Batman hate Superman/ What war? What the fuck is this dialogue about?
How many good guys left? Stayed that way?
Can they please explain what the fuck they're talking about somewhere in this movie?
This is like the scene with florist with better acting.
Wilhelm scream car crash.
Batman kills more people. Car crashes.
Superman stops him.
Nothing happens.
Holly Hunter.
Lane investigates.
Why the fuck does Batman know about Wonder Woman but superhearing Superman doesn't?
Kevin Costner looks really old.
Diane Lane
Batman kidnaps Martha Kent.
Lois confronts Lex.
Lex kidnaps her.
Superman confronts him.
Lex reveals he kidnapped Lois.
Superman kneels.
Batman uses Kryptonite grenades vs Superman.
Superman is weakened and beaten up.
For whatever reason, Batman doesn't kill Superman right then and there cuz he's a main character.
Superman gets some energy back and throws Batman through skyscrapers as if Batman could actually survive them for some odd reason. Snyder again doesn't know what the heck he's doing.
Batman doesn't kill Superman because he knows his mother's name? That would be the exact opposite friggin commie spy.
Batman's a racist. He kills 500 people every day. But your mothers have the same name so whatever.
Martha survives.
The only point she shows up in the film.
How do they even know who Martha is?
Superman has no disguise?
Ugh.
Dawn of Justice?
Doomsday.
US generals says he's unstoppable.
Batman uses Kryptonite.
Wonder Woman saves his life.
Batman and Wonder Woman join forces after Superman's death forming the Justice League. Pretty much the only good idea I recall after that travesty of Batamn action.
I was hoping for Deadshot instead of Batman in the end.
Way to cameo.
Recap:
I like the acting, I like the actors giving something to do, but it could've been better.
Batman had so much potential, but Snyder throws away his character whenever there's an action scene. I honestly think this was a way more interesting, exciting (and unintentionally funny film than Man of Steel, with a lot more meat) but again, there was some miscommunication problems with the crew. A lot of the storytelling just got destroyed when they were given mixed signals or just for the neglect of the story, which I'm guessing was probably Snyder's fault.
Snyder can probably do a fun anime and/or superhero adaptation like FLCL or Deadpool, but I think this genre isn't a good fit for him.
What'd you guys think?
