A lot of people completely skipped over his recent work as an actor and director and went straight to Daredevil and Gigli as reference points. One thing this movie did is make me want to see more of Batman’s come-up in this universe before Man of Steel.
Funny thing is the only reason why he signed on to do Daredevil was because he felt it was the closest he’ll get to playing Batman.
When the movie cane out I was struck by how everything was washed in a grey filter
I kind of want to watch 2003 Daredevil after crotchpunchas description lol.
If nothing else, Affleck looks the part more than anyone else that has played Bruce Wayne IMO.
Like I said before, I honestly think there’s a good movie in BvS. It would take a lot of changes to the story and a different director to find it but I think it is there.
Casting was never this movies problem. Except maybe Eisenberg. Not sure what happened there. But it’s not like he’s a bad actor either.
Hey, when I said Affleck was a solid actor I was laughed at. I just didn’t think Batman fit him. If nothing else I’m happy to be proven wrong. Considering it seemed that he was responsible for a lot of his own dialogue maybe DC should just go the Deadpool route and hand everything over to him (though we know he also has directorial experience).
Giving Affleck the reigns is a much better idea than Snyder.
At least Ben has read a fucking comic book before and cares about the source material.
WOOHOO SOMEONE LINKED IT. But all bullshit aside, Batfleck could be great, its just they’re trying to force too much shit to happen in this movie. I don’t blame this movie on him or his acting skills.
DONT WORRY CHARLIE COX WILL TAKE OVER BATMAN FOR YOU TOO KAPPA
joker was cut out so the DC fanboys have a reason they “must” see Suicide Squad
You’re completely right, I should make the second post I’ve been thinking about because it’s that bad of a fucking movie.
I don’t get why everybody bitches about Batman killing somebody: it’s not fucking touch football. I don’t think we need or want the New Universe, but – death is going to happen when the bad guys have guns/missiles. You can’t always hug it out.
But on the flipside, if you’re going to go out of your way to defend Batman killing some random thug, as Snyder has done, then why the fuck does Clark cryyyyyyyyyy when killing Zod? We’ve now established as canon, much to the dismay of Man of Steel apologists, that shitloads of people died in the Zod/Superman fight. Let alone the Worldbreaker which was going to destroy the atmosphere and terraform the Earth. But while Batman can now glibly kill people, somehow I’m expected to care that Superman killed Zod? Pick a fucking angle and stick with it. Hopping from one side of the coin to the other all the time only works if your audience is drunk or idiots.
A suicide bomber takes out a Superman hearing and there are no questions about that? The World’s Greatest Detective doesn’t look deeply into it? Superman just kind of walks away without talking to security and they don’t figure anything out? This guy has been returning Wayne checks but has a spiffy new space wheelchair, nobody asks questions?
Wonder Woman just magically knows that Batman is stealing information that is also useful to her. And later acts surprised about the picture that was on the disk that she gave to him.
Lex Luthor designs the logos for JLA members because he needed cool folder icons.
Lex Luthor bleeds onto Zod for no reason.
Lex rails about all sorts of cool first quarter philosophy/political science topics and talks about how smart he is, and is a goddamned idiot.
The government just gives Lex two of the most dangerous weapons known to mankind. No oversight required because reasons.
Lex is driven by his fear of Superman. So he creates a worse monster instead of getting handcuffs from the ship or other detainment devices.
Lex, initially driven by fear of Superman, expresses his delight that the “things” know that Superman is dead and that the dinner bell has been rung so that bigger threats will now attack the Earth.
Lex pushes Lois to her death, and Superman’s reaction is to talk it out slowly with Lex.
Lex has just pushed Lois to her narrowly averted death, and Superman’s reaction to Lex’s threats is to go COMPLETE AND UTTER BITCH MODE, TURN TAIL, AND LET LEX WALK AWAY WITHOUT FIRST MELTING LEX’S LEGS INTO THE GROUND.
Superman has a 60 minute clock to save Martha, and so when he gets a lapse in the fight with Bruce, Superman slams him in the chest to keep fighting. No attempt to explain what the hell is up.
Batman gets Superman down, and makes no attempt to go for the kill. Instead clearly Superman’s Magic Boss Meter isn’t in the red yet so Batman just kind of slowly tries to kick Superman’s ass even though it’s weird how that keeps allowing Superman to recover. Superman has laser eyes and we’ve seen that cut through buildings but we’re just going to continue to let him recover and then punch him because reasons. We only bring out the spear when we’ve had enough fighting.
Martha.
Next time I’m losing a fight I’m yelling Martha. I’ll see if this works. It’s fucking horrible. The audience laughed badly at it. It doesn’t work.
Superman saved the planet in MoS. Yet we’ve got some people questioning him two years afterwards and they’re accepted? This is like questioning the guy who just shot Osama Bin Laden right in the middle of his team destroying the World Trade Center: just no fucking way. You didn’t even watch your own goddamned movie.
The Jimmy Olsen cameo is insulting to the character and to spy science. Oh look an obvious bug.
Superman can’t be dating the smart investigate reporter Lois Lane and yet be a mysterious figure blamed in random terrorist acts. You know who generally reads the paper and might have a clue if weird things are going on? Reporters. Figure out some reason for them both to be confused or out of the loop. You know what reporters like to do? Ensure that the truth comes to light. You know, like Truth, Justice, and the American Way - the things that the actual Superman stands for. Not this fascist out of the loop uninvolved asshole that the plot tries to badly contort him into being.
Gotham and Metropolis are that close together and yet in TWENTY YEARS (or however long Batman has ‘long been at it’), they haven’t met before? Bullshit.
Batarang brandings? What? Seriously?
Doomsday is played by Azog the Defiler. He does random EMP bursts that maybe are really bad but who knows.
Most of those are just statements because it’s that bad. It’s not a fun movie. It’s soulless, joyless, and while the CGI skins are some of my favorites the actual battle scenes are crap.
Man of Steel is the better movie. I think that movie went off the rails, but at least that didn’t act like you were stupid.
About that bit with his mom:
Spoiler
Why did he call his mom Martha anyway? Who calls their mom by the first name unless you hate them or something?
I love how some people on the internet are trying to defend this godawful Lex by saying “That’s not lex. It’s his son. Different dude.” That is ZERO excuse for the shit character we got.
The fucked up part is that I’m not even a Superman fan. I still hated this trash character. I can only imagine what real fans are going through right now. Lex ain’t the only one who needs to wipe his nose, I bet.
Because he wanted batman to know who he was talking about, idiot. Batman didnt know superman was clark kent. Batman wouldnt be able to help his mother at all, if he just said help my mom. Oh really alien, super god, WHO IS YOUR MOM.
Are you niggas retarded. I’ll reply to the rest later. Cooking and chillin out.
Although i guess arguably without a last name, it still meant little to nothing. But saying a name at least will get batmans attention first. Plus its a fucking movie. Theyre trying to tie things together you oblivious buffoon.
Hey I know you’re about to murder me in cold blood but could you take a minute and go save my mom plz thx
Noticed you didn’t bring up the whole religious imagery thing again either lol. Fucking moron.
Ugh, why am I even engaging with this retard? I mean he likes BvS, his handicap is obvious.
Fuck Zack Snyder
Bat affleck was great, but man Z Snyder needs to go…
plz everyone theres no need to fight, focus all your bad mojo on making zack snyder move on from DC movies, maybe he can go make zookeeper 2 or collabo w/ michael bay or something
Just arrived home from watching. First thoughts were a solid 5/10, but the more I think about it, the less I like. Absolutely nothing in this makes any sense.
Will write full thoughts later.
Word. People went apeshit in my theater from seeing Spider-Man.
What I dislike the most in this movie was how much of a pussy Supes was.
I hate that shit more than Eisenburg.
wait, Jesse isnt Lex Luther?
I did have a trailer for the Lego Batman Movie and it looked pretty fun. I’ll probably check it out.
Yeah, why wouldnt superman take a second to try to have batman save his mother. He was trying to talk to batman since the second he landed on the roof, you piece of shit.
I didnt bring up the religious imagery again because i didnt give a shit about it really. Its a non issue. Okay, you think you remember one moment where it seemed like a christ moment, when he was dying in space. I recall that, but it didnt stand out to me like a christ moment like it did in man of steel.
Again, it doesnt matter. Thats clearly the type of character superman is, and who gives a fuck. Its the most non issue ever, that retards keep bringing up, as if theyve never read a fucking superman comic in their life, ever. But are yet here complaining like masters of comic book stories and lore.
