Why was the titular Batman vs Superman fight held in a gay bathhouse with a flooded basement anyways?

Obviously the bathhouse setting was meant to underscore the homoerotic nature inherent in all superhero stories, where men in tights prefer to spend time grappling with one another above all else. The bathroom tiles and water pipes hint at steamy showers where struggling, slippery godmen could entwine in the nude like mighty Zeus intended. Batman beating his opponent in the face with a porcelain sink drives home the metaphor, displaying a desire to force his white butt-hole into Superman's greedy mouth.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
I'm still starting to think it should have been a Wonder Woman vs. Superman movie.

10 straight minutes of Superman just getting his poo poo kicked in because he won't hit a woman. Also, fill it with all sorts of little poo poo so that people can comment how she's breaking Superman down with symbols of the patriarchy. Ripping urinals off the wall and smashing them into his head. An homage of the "Hey Superman!" scene from Superman 2 ("You see, Wonder Woman is attacking Superman with a 'man'hole cover. It's really quite clever.'). Etc.

Lois shows up in stolen power suit of Lex's and goes, "Get away from him, you BITCH!"

Wonder Woman should have been introduced to the fight like an angry parent. She abandons mankind after WW1 only to return because these two dopes are going to level two entire cities with their stupid grudge match. Superman can't overpower her, Batman's kryptonite has no effect and he doesn't have the time to plan anything else.

Of course that would only work if the first hour of the movie was just SuperDickery. Batman creating fake emergencies for Superman only to have a bunch of machine guns and missile launchers pop out of manhole covers and fire on him as he arrives. Batman hangs back with a spiral ring notebook, on it listed:

-BULLETS
-MISSILES
-LASERS
-CHAINSAWS
-HUGE rear end BOULDER

as Batman works his way down the list trying to see how invulnerable Supes really is.

No, I want a Wonder Woman who is a hypocrite about being about peace and love while also being a vengeful, hateful violent killer when it suits her because she's grown bitter about the nature of the world.

That's why she'd hate Superman. Just like Lex assumes as a human that gods cannot be all good and all powerful, she's a god that assumes this alien god is just as prone to violent use of his power as as she has been over the years.

It is legitimately canon that Wonder Woman could beat the dogshit out of Superman. She's just as strong, and she's smarter and far more skilled in combat.

But having them fight is pointless because the whole thing with Superman isn't that he battles things stronger than him, it's that he's a hero who stops awful poo poo from happening because of people who are just stronger in some fashion than regular humans.

The reason there's not a huge pantheon of world-destroying mega-powered villains in Superman stories isn't because the writers didn't think to do that, it's that they thought better of doing that.

Superman is far more interesting as a hero who always tries to do the right thing than just a dumb brute who can punch a hole through a building. That poo poo is boooooooring.

Likewise, Batman is more interesting as a guy who outsmarts his enemies and does cool detective poo poo. And doesn't kill.

Any rear end in a top hat can put on robot armor and shoot people with a machine gun. Batman is awesome because he doesn't do that.

Unless you're Zack Snyder. Then Superman is the mindless smash version of the Incredible Hulk and Batman is a bat-themed Punisher because, as Zack Snyder, you are retarded and have never read anything but Ayn Rand books and you don't understand human beings or emotions or human interaction.

Also, far more ruthless. Supes and Batman wouldn't have killed Maxwell Lord, despite the Lasso of Truth compelling him to say that the only way to stop him is to kill him. But Wonder Woman did.

I don't know anything about Wonder Woman besides this movie and google image. I still think she is a worse design than Superman. I think Zack Snyder intentionally cast a flat chested woman to make WWr more "contemporary", except he cast a supermodel who can't speak English.

Having a bunch of overpowered and very boring superheroes is why DC can't make decent comic book movie except Batman.

The problem is that Hollywood doesn't cast ballbreakers anymore and that's kinda who you'd need for a "super-serious" Wonder Woman. If it there was no Lynda Carter, an '80s Wonder Woman would likely be Brigitte Nielsen with a brunette dye-job. There's no modern contemporary to her or Sybil Danning or Sandal Bergmann, etc.

Gina Carano really should have been Wonder Woman, but I guess Snyder felt she was too threatening.

You should know better than to state that Transformers 4, Attack of the Clones, or BvS are in any way bad while posting in CineD.

If a movie is widely regarded as a monumental piece of poo poo, it is literally the best movie ever made to CD posters.

Ninja Turtles III: Turtles in Time is the best loving cinematic masterpiece, you heathen gently caress. The shittiness was INTENTIONAL. READ ZIZEK YOU gently caress. YOU loving gently caress.




Side note: BvS is still underperforming Deadpool domestically heading into its third weekend. But thanks to international box office receipts it may earn the dubious honor of earning back its conservatively estimated budget by week 5. Given the rumored astronomical advertising budget, it may not see a profit until home video sales.

Other side note: Ryan Reynolds and JJ Abrams are buying mansions just to store surplus cocaine and hookers in them.
