Might as well call it "Batman Wins. Kinda. It's A Bit of a Mess."



Highlights of the film include Superman diving after a kryptonite spear at the bottom of a well, only for his half-dead body to float to the top minutes later, spear in hand. Batman is really angry 100% of the time, but hesitates finishing off Supes because he mentions the name "Martha." Martha Wayne being his mother, Batman is SHOCKED that someone else could go by that name, and falls back in amazement. Clark Kent's boss spends nearly an hour and a half of the film going "WHERE THE HELL IS KENT" as Superman mopes around the globe.


Movie was super clunky trying to work all the Justice League poo poo in, and it was waaaaaaaaaaay too long to boot. But hey, Wonder Woman solos most of Doomsday while Superman nearly drowns as mentioned earlier and Batman looks on in wonderment realizing he can't loving hang with Doomsday.


Also there's like a ten minute long hallucination/premonition about Darkseid, and it's pointless and possibly time travel related.






gently caress this movie though.

I previewed it, the midnight release is tomorrow. I won't be working at the time, thankfully. Then again, because my company is so sure this movie is going to destroy records despite garbage review scores, I've gotta open the building on Friday around 8:30am. Which sucks nearly as bad as the movie did.

Batman's motive makes sense at the beginning, but after a certain point even Alfred's like "dude this is retarded have you even tried talking to him?" And then Superman tries talking to him, gets upset and flings Batman/Power Armor forty yards away. Just lovely negotiators, these two.




There are cameos of Flash and Aquaman, and holy :lol: are they great. Security footage of The Guy Who Is The Flash (no costume) trying to choose a gallon of milk before saving a convenience store owner being robbed at gunpoint. Aquaman's is remote submarine footage approaching an undersea wreck, before a pair of glowing eyes swim out from the darkness inside. BOOM, Aquaman swims up to the submarine, hair flowing magnificently in the water, before....waiting like 30 seconds to do anything, and then using his trident to...I dunno, punch the sub or something. Riveting.



Also Lex Luthor knows who everybody is the whole time, I guess? Or figures it out offscreen? I dunno.

why did they let ben affleck be kind of fat for this or is it just that he looks chub when jacked

There's a scene where he works out even MORE to prep for his fight with Superman. He doesn't look chub in it. Maybe that scene was added just for you.

the armor is essentially just a decorative plot device to silence nerds who'd scream "BATMAN COULDN'T TAKE A PUNCH FROM ANGRY SUPERMAN." There's nothing special about it at all aside from it being armor.

I think some people are taking my breaking news in the OP seriously. I had pretty low expectations for the film, really. A little late to say that though I guess.

OP, I have heard tale that a jar of piss figures prominently into the plot, specifically, the piss of Lex Luthor. Can you illuminate details of the piss jar and how it is important to the plot of the movie where Superman and Batman fight?

Thanks in advance, OP, you're doing fine work.

There is an anti-Superman senator that wants Superman to attend a hearing and explain his actions. Basically, while Superman means well when he saves people, there are also moments where he drops into locations where Lois Lane is investigating (a Middle Eastern terror cell?) and takes care of business. Gets rid of the terror cell, but in response another group murders everyone in that village. So this senator wants Superman to work with them and stop clumsily brute forcing rescues in dangerous areas.


Lex Luthor appeals to this senator, asking for her support in allowing him to pursue kryptonite weaponry as a deterrent to the "red capes." The senator makes a quip about how back in Kentucky her father had a saying about being careful about people who offer you Granny's Peach Tea when it's really just a jar of piss. She turns down Luthor, saying she recognizes an assassination tool when she hears about one. Later, when Superman finally attends a hearing at Capitol Hill, Lex Luthor is supposed to attend but doesn't for "reasons," but sends a legless man in his place. I guess the dude lost his legs in the aftermath of Metropolis exploding in Man of Steel, whatever. As Superman listens to the senator, she notices a jar on her desk labled "Granny's Peach Tea." She stumbles in her speech, panics, looks around the room, and realizes too late as the wheelchair man explodes, destroying Capitol Hill.




They thought they were very clever in this movie.

The magic lasso is in the movie for 30 seconds, and I lost my poo poo when I saw it. If they had included WW's invisible jet I would have given this movie a 10/10 despite everything wrong with it.

my favorite thing was lois jumping in and almost drowning, being saved, then superman who saved her also jumping in and also almost drowning
Superman bubbling to the surface unconscious with spear in hand had me laugh so hard I was crying. That was the absolute best part of the film aside from Young Bruce being flown around by a swarm of bats.

I think it helps that most of the tumblr appeal moves that Marvel has made seem to be paying off reasonably well. Miss Marvel, for one, has been a ton of a fun in nearly every series she's popped in for. That doesn't change the fact that Marvel woke up one day and decided 4-5 superheros needed new identities, but hey at least it's not all terrible.

Most are defensive about it due to an abundance of people who bitch about the changes for reasons other than trolling.

Batman vs Superman is a much better movie than Civil War and yet I can watch Civil War 3 times and still be entertained cause it's light and enjoyable.

I like both.

Between Nolan and Snyder and Frank Millers All Star Batman I'm so glad everyone is taking a poo poo on him showing how stupid he is.

Affleck is the best Batman and Irons is an awesome Alfred and Gal Gadot makes a great Wonder Woman and Eisenberg did a great job of actually being lively and entertaining and I hope Asian Mercy comes back in sequel but gently caress Cyborg for Justice League shoulda been Martian Manhunter.

I didn't make this thread so that monsters like you could come in here and loving ruin it.
