You're not supposed to like this. You're supposed to not like it so much that you are happy to see Batman see the error of his ways and commit to not failing so spectacularly again.
Why did Batman kill people after his "Martha" moment with Superman? He blows up Lex's thugs for no real reason, and yet The Joker was in Suicide Squad. So we got a Batman who will kill low level henchmen casually and yet lets a dangerous mass murdering villain like The Joker live. How is this supposed to be a good characterization of Batman?
Emotionless? Clark is very expressive with Lois and with Perry. He responds to an enormous amount of criticism with grace and care. He's deliberative and thoughtful. Superman is distant because his every action is overanalyzed and criticized.
The entire movie is Superman being criticized. That's fine. What is not fine is there are little to no scenes where Superman is humanized. The movie is far too focused on Superman's impact on the world and what everyone thinks about him that his actual motivations and character agency get lost.
She's literally the only one who figures out Lex's plan. She deduces that the kryptonite spear will kill Doomsday.
The plan she figured out was stupid to begin with. Why would a billionaire like Lex Luthor risk his entire empire and freedom trying to frame Superman using a gun and bullets in the first place (a character as strong and powerful as Superman clearly doesn't need a gun to kill someone)? Stevie Wonder could poke holes in this plan.
And didn't Lois throw the kryponite spear into the water before she had to drive back into the water to retrieve it? Not exactly smart writing there.
How familiar are you with Perry White? He's always been a bit of a cynic and a curmudgeon.
I've never seen a Perry White that goes on a rant about how "its not 1938 anymore" when one of his reporters tells him he is just trying to do the right thing by writing a meaningful story.
That scene between him and Clark where he goes off on him with that rant was one of the worst scenes in the movie. It sucked because Perry's "cynical man" arc never goes anywhere, and having Clark stand there and take having what he believes in trashed like that without being able to change Perry's mind or well... any kind of resolution to that arc at all does nothing for Clark's character. The scene just sucked, and made both characters look bad.
Lex Luthor has been many things over the decades since his creation, including a versions who have been massive weirdoes. Lex blew up people with a bomb hidden in a man's wheelchair to frame Superman as irresponsible and a catalyst for destruction. The peach tea with just a way for Senator Finch to know she had been had before she died.
1. Our supervillain in this movie used a jar of PISS as a calling card. Just gross and not any version of Lex Luthor I know would do this. Just gross for no reason. Had no place in a comic book movie with Batman and Superman in it.
2. Why the hell didn't the metal detectors in the Capital Building find the bombs in the guy's wheelchair?
3. Why would anyone believe that someone as powerful as Superman need a bomb to kill a lot of people? This is why Lex's plan in this movie is dumb as ****. Just poor garbage writing.
That being said, relitigating BvS is the last thing we should be doing right now. I've said my piece and have no intention to continue a back-and-forth.
If you don't want to discuss my thoughts on this movie why did you do a point by point rebuttal of my entire post?
Don't be afraid of me. I don't bite.
