I'm surprised they never retconned it by saying he was possessed by Jericho at the time or something.

I'll have to disagree with you. I think the actors were charismatic, but lacked chemistry with one another, except for Anakin and Obi Wan, and Padme and Qui Gonn. The scripts have a lot of good stuff in them that people completely ignore because they weren't looking for it.

No the greatest sin is setting up Anakin and Padme's love as the root cause of the fall of the Republic...then utterly failing to deliver on that romance. Anakin-Padme is meant to be the heart of the prequel trilogy, and since it fails, so does the whole trilogy.

If you think that was the root cause of the fall of the republic you weren't paying any attention to the movies. The root cause of the fall of the republic was stagnation, hubris, and dogma.

Well, unfortunately, the movie says that he's not a genuinely good person. He goes bad if Lois dies. Which is honestly kind of a bummer.

"You let her die" could very well have referred to Martha. "Lois is the key" a scene later may be referring to different events since Flash time travelled too far. Or refer to the same event since listening to Lois is what stops Batman from killing Clark.

Hmm, actually the nightmare makes a lot of sense as a consequence if Batman killed Superman. Superman comes back to life and serves Darkeseid because of disgust with humanity killing his mother. Batman has lost entirely who he was and now just flat out kills with handguns. Flash tried to travel back to stop Batman from doing it, goes too far, tells him to listen to Lois.

You know if all Batman does is sing Superman's praises, and that's all Flash knows about him "You were right about him, you were always right!"

That's gonna make that message even more awkward.

I love the visuals of Batman's Vision but I found it to be a little awkward. Not as bad as everyone makes it to be but the choreography is a little stilted and doesn't quite work, and the Bad Superman turn and making his morality all about "her" (either wife or mother) undercuts the movie's theme that he really is a good guy trying to do the right thing.

In my theory I'm thinking it's less about "her" and more about Batman's actions. Superman turned against humanity because he looked at Batman and found them wanting.

Ehh, not really. Yes he's opposed to what Batman is doing but he basically took a minute out of his day to send him a message to frig off. He's more concerned about whether people are right that he's acting too unilaterally, that his love for Lois is compromising him, that maybe this whole "Superman" thing was a stupid idea and that the world will never stop fighting any effort to make it better------meanwhile, Batman is dreaming about Superman, sharpening his kryptonite spear and getting mad shredded dragging his tire around screaming and thinking about Superman, etc.

He was completely ignoring his job to go to the next town over to investigate him against the wishes of his boss.

It's not watching his dad die, it's watching his dads example which is important. His dad dies trying to save a dog. He is the same to that dog as Clark is to the humans, completely superior, and no one would begrudge him leaving it in the car to save his own lif, but he does it because it's the right thing to do. That's what Clark really learns here.

There is no "for whatever reason." Bruce Wayne has personally made the decision to brand sex traffickers and "short eyes" so that they will be marked and executed extrajudicially in prisons. Luthor does not compel him to do this, in the theatrical or the ultimate edition, because he doesn't need to. What does happen in both versions is that Clark Kent receives photographs of the doomed man, playing him against Batman so that he ignores the figure Perry told him to pay attention to all along... Lex Luthor football games.

It's a little difficult because those moments of drama are typically earned over the course of a bunch of episodes and don't really work divorced of context. And regardless of the context you're still dealing with non union actors often with bad American accents.

I'll look for something later though, almost every season has its moments. And of course the production quality has improved massively over the last thirty years.
