One thing all these examples show about Batman and Superman most of all is how badly Batman v. Superman did not understand the characters. The movie was choppy and pretentious, but the biggest disappointment is the fact Batman doesn’t act like Batman, and Superman is not at all a beacon of hope. Fact of the matter is…

Already better than the movie. Thats what bugs me the most, Superman isn’t hopeful at all in the movie, totally uninspiring.

Like Batman: Sub-Zero being so much better than Batman & Robin’s Mr. Freeze movie, World’s Finest stomps all over BvS.

I’m going to call BS on critics being caught off guard by it being “too dark”. The Nolan Batman trilogy was ridiculously dark and gritty, but it was also superbly done and critics showered it with praise and acclaim.

“...and I felt like this film actively hated me.”

This just makes me sad because no matter where I go this is all I read. Now honestly like many I had already lost faith in WB’s ability to make good superhero movies. It was very briefly restored with Batman Begins and Dark Knight then killed with Dark Knight Rises. Followed by a shot to the face with Man of Steel. I…

This movie is what happens when meatheads decide they’re going to wave the nerd flag.

I don’t get how they have such a hard time with Superman. Like a gigantic, city destroying fight is exactly what Superman would want to avoid. He’s supposed to be the guy that’s fighting a villain, sees somebody off in the distance about to walk in front of a bus, and he stops fighting to save that person. The level…

Some people have seen this film and liked it. Some people have seen it and disliked it. I’d normally say “see it for yourself and make your own opinion”... but I won’t, because I didn’t just dislike the film, I HATE it. I utterly DESPISE this film.

Yeah, just fuck this movie. How exactly did Lex know BOTH secret identities? Was it from Krypton Siri?? How is there not even a scene where Superman discovers Batman is Bruce Wayne?!? How long did it take for the president to decide to nuke superman? Half a second? It was like, "Sir, we have a sho-" "TAKE IT!". Holy…

Superman hanging over the flood victims like glowing alien Jesus. “We get the symbolism. Could you possibly save us now?”

Is just pure bunk. Superman didn’t cause all that death and destruction. Zod did. Superman’s only role was to stop Zod.

I remember being super hyped for Man of Steel because based on everything I had seen I was pretty sure it was gonna have a “superhero smash up”. Probably because I was more of a fan of manga first and got into American comics later but I always loved the comics where Superman and heroes of similar strength tiers to…

Firefighters usually don’t make-out with their girlfriends while your house is still burning with people trapped inside.

Yeah that’s the only think that sounded weird to me. Superman isn’t a monster. Sure the film was kind of mis-representing the character and his reactions (MoS I mean) but he saved a million person for each one that died. That doesn’t make MoS good or their Superman good though.

Agreed. I saw this last night, and I felt like this film actively hated me. It’s like it was a festering horcrux of the worst tendencies of the superhero genre, one which will fuel “See? Superheroes are shit!” arguments for years to come.

Dear Literally Anyone Who Ever Makes A Batman Film In The Future,

Words can’t describe how fucking horrible this movie was. I figured after MoS that it couldn’t possibly get any worse. I was wrong. Snyder has now joined the ranks of my personal “Don’t bother to watch a movie done by him” list he is hanging out there with M. Knight Shyamalan and a few others that just turn out shit…

Despite what people are saying, still gonna watch it next week.

Why are we surprised that the sequel to Man of Steel would be just as bad, if not worse? Cuz we’re not just dragging Supes down into the gutter, but pretty much the entire DCU as well. I don’t want my Superman film to be DARK AND BROODING. I want it colorful. I want it vibrant. I want it to give me a sense of hope and…
