I think you could lock up Batman as long as you took all of his stuff and removed anything from the cell that he could pull off the walls. For the sake of the argument, I'm not considering things normal people could do like faking a seizure to get the door open.

I liked the part when Ant Man got real big because just as I was thinking Holy poo poo he went ahead and verbalized what I was thinking.

Actually if imprisoned without his stuff batman could do whatever the writer happened to think of on that day to escape. It would then become a tirelessly measured and compared and catalogued BatThing for the next bazillion batman comics. Every time he was in prison in the future would have to preempt the question 'why doesn't he use his acid sweat from if he eats a doubled ration of prison bread?' or whatever.

And that's why superheroes are bad.

They had almost all of the world's vibranium deposits and rather than allowing white men to come in and take it they closed their borders and invested it all in education and development, building a technocratic paradise, but for some reason allowing the rest of africa to stay as it is in reality and also not sharing their future tech (including all sorts of life saving medicines) with the rest of the world.

I didn't like Spider-Man's lines. They felt like a comic book fan described Spider-Man's dialogue to a writer who then tried to write dialogue for Spider-Man. I'm pretty sure humanity collectively groaned without knowing why the first time someone heard the "remember that old movie, empire strikes back?" line.

Also I didn't like the ending. I wanted Iron Man to kill Bucky and beat the gently caress out of Captain America.

All in all, it was much better than Age of Ultron, but still actually a bad movie.
yeah that's not saying much. 2016 has been loving awful for movies, and even superhero movies which used to be pretty safe entertaining popcorn flicks have become really loving awful in the past several years, which is pretty impressive in itself.

Like Iron Man 1/2, Spiderman 1/2, Avengers 1, Thor 1, Captain America 1/2, Batmin Begins/TDK, XMen 1/2 were all really quite good movies (to varying degrees), and then suddenly Hollywood seemed incapable of even making a fun mindless movie after that, and there's no shortage of seemingly really loving awful ones on the horizon.

I dunno I thought he was good in the first one. I like how he is an rear end in a top hat but you can tell he's working on it and the movies do a great job of getting that across. He is repentant for the life of assholery he's lived and he's giving something back.
