Yeah typically comic book artists/writers get thanked for the 'inspiration', particularly when ideas or panels might get lifted wholesale. I think Gail Simone got a thank you as well and she noted she didn't have any contact with production.

I'm not a huge fan of any of the live action Batmen, but I do appreciate how Keaton manages to get across how weird Bruce would be, in a way that the other movies don't really touch on or realize. No one who is that driven/obsessed, in that kind of freaky way, would be normal (even if they could fake it convincingly) I think the animated series does a good job of demonstrating this with how awkward he is around his friends and family, with the grim outcome of that being how he ends up alone as an old rear end man in a big rear end mansion

EVS is incredibly mad about Snyder saying he doesn't want to be associated with Geeks & Gamers, so I don't care he's mentioned in the credits that most people won't read anyway.

And oh yeah hey apparently Lex Luthor dressed up in the fancy suit at the end was also a Snyder concept? I woulda thought for sure that WB and Whedon threw that look on him to appease the fanbase, but evidently Snyder always intended for Luthor to end up looking like...well, Luthor.

That scene was so weird it almost felt like improv'd. When Batman said "I will loving kill you" it seemed like Ben Affleck was holding in a chuckle. I did like the implication of the character development from it. Even though he is still having nightmares about evil Superman when he wakes up he is still rejecting that darkness and ready to take a leap of faith with an alien introducing himself. Clark walking into his mom's house and Cyborg finishing his monologue should have been the ending though. Put the Lex Luthor stuff mid credits and the knightmare post credits, imo.

It's all post-credits stuff though. The movie, imo, effectively ends when it fades to black as they climb out the pit.

I think everybody going home and Cyborg hearing his dad's final message and flash getting the real job is the real ending. Climbing out of the pit is the main plot resolution but all that is the character resolution.

Alrighty, watching the movie. I decided to give it a chance, 20 minutes in. I might not see the 4 hours in one sitting. No big spoilers, but so far: Jason Momoa is hot. Ben Affleck looks good and is a good Bruce Wayne, but I still don't like him too much as Batman. I dislike Snyder's bleak palette. It's probably a personal taste of mine, I don't know. Wonder Woman is amazing. A bit of a confession but she was the only thing I liked in BvS. Like I've said before I never liked BvS, so a lot of things never stick with me, at the beginning of the movie, during Supes' sonic screams, we see Lex Luthor watching whatever the name of the bad guy is showing him the boxes. Was that a reference to a scene on BvS? I'm not being sarcastic, I truly forgot lol

The spoilered bit was a scene in the Ultimate edition BvS that occurs just before he gets arrested, and why in the final prison scene he warns Batman "The bells been rung"

I loved the movie but the one thing that is stuck in my mind is: The flash running back in time scene. Probably a top 5 superhero movie moment for me and just absolutely loving insane to think that someone looked at that and said "Yeah we gotta get rid of this. What if the flash just sat in a hallway and then pushed a car with some kids in it out of the danger zone???"

One thing I'm surprised didn't get adjusted is that there was still no Kryptonian presence at the Age of Heroes fight way back when. It doesn't literally break the story in half or anything, but it would have just very cleanly explained why the "Superman ship" specifically has accounts of Apokolips, why Steppenwolf even brings up that there were no Kryptonians at Earth when he arrived, and why this ship even got downed and left on Earth in the first place. It's also just more elegant if there were all those races banding together to defeat Darkseid the first time, and then again now. As it stands, the Kryptonian ship basically just got its info about Apokolips from somewhere else -- another planet, or maybe even second-hand -- and then just happened to crash on Earth for some reason. That moment of Darkseid facing down the League at the grounds of their victory, and his loss, was really cool, though. Again, a very earned moment. Though it's kinda weird that Darkseid just...what, forgot that Earth was where the Anti-Life Equation was after that first go-around? How do you just forget that? They didn't mark it down on Google Maps?

Here's how it came across to me: Krypton, as a space-faring people, knew about Apokolips, but mounted an effective and ongoing resistance with their advanced technology. The ship naturally had a copy of the Encyclopedia Kryptonica or whatever on board, as part of how the AI functions. The ship didn't crash, it was simply encased in ice after it was abandoned when the colony failed (because all Kryptonian colonies failed). Darkseid's first visit to earth was when he was young and careless, full of piss and vinegar. To him it was just another planet, and in their hasty retreat it was forgotten and the Mother Boxes abandoned. The presence of the Anti-Life Equation there went unnoticed by anyone until Steppenwolf saw it in his Mother Box vision. That was also when he realized that this wasn't the first time Apokolips had made an attempt on this world. Using the Mother Boxes to take over the planet was Plan B if the army wasn't up to the job, because those things don't exactly grow on trees, but Darkseid's injury resulted in abandoning the Mother Box plan as well. When the first Mother Box reawakened, Steppenwolf reconnoitered the place, but noticed there was this Kryptonian hanging around, so decided to hold off as a matter of prudent military strategy. After Superman's death, he had no reason to wait any longer, because he didn't think much of the remaining defenders (and there wasn't a Green Lantern for that sector).

This from one of the Kryptoniam colonies Zod finds in Man of Steel Not a direct confirmation, but given there's no burial and they died clutching a weapon you can infer they came into contact with some sort of hostile force.

That's close to his I interpreted it: Steppenwolf know ahead of time this was the one world Darkseid lost and thought and hoped taking it would grant him favor. He was sad when he found out that no he was still gonna owe 50,000 more worlds. Nobody knew the anti life equation was here except the motherboxes, who revealed it to Steppenwolf in that vision. Darkseid WOULD have discovered it 5000 years ago if he didn't get knocked tf out but they had to leave pretty quick. The motherboxes sat there for 5000 years though and they figured it out.
