BvS All Things Batman v Superman: An Open Discussion (TAG SPOILERS) - - - - - - Part 307

[Primal Slayer]

Snyder seriously thought anyone would allow him to name this film "Son of Suns and Knight of Nights"? Come on dude!

 

[Mani-Man]

Goes to Show that the man understands what poetic is as much as he knows how to be Subtle. XD

Well…

It’s clear from the interview that Snyder really disliked the studio imposed title. He even ridiculed it. So in a way, he was “seriously” suggesting that any number of alternatives titles (even the clumsy poetic ones) would have been better than “vs.”

The one he suggested was not better, it's even worse.

I think someone somewhere said should've used Superman/Batman: Public Enemies just like the comic.

Snyder disagrees.

In the interview (which I’ve only seen in printed form), it seemed like Snyder just spitballed a suggestion. But he added “or something that’s a bit more poetic.” Lots of folks concentrating on the spitball and ignoring the “or something [else]” part.

Back in the day, I defended the “Batman versus Superman” moniker. But for purely utilitarian and commercial reasons. It’s the first time Bats and Supers are together on the big screen. And they’re feuding. So — truth in advertising — you spell that out in the title. But it ain’t pretty.

 

[Micromind]

Since Batman V Superman is a prequel to Justice League, one may argue that this sub-forum belongs here (kind of)

 

[Jermobooka]

As more time goes on, I grow fonder of this movie and Snyder’s DCEU efforts. It’s still not my favorite stuff in the world, but I can definitely see the merits of the “Snyderverse”.

BvS, in particular, is probably the most drastic turnaround in terms of my feelings on Snyder’s DCEU films. I went from heavily disliking it to actually liking it quite a bit for all the things it tried to do (successfully or otherwise).

Battinson is still better than Batfleck, though.

 

[Sawyer]

Not my favorite Batman, but it is Affleck’s best look in the role. As a completist, I’m tempted to pick this one up just so I’ll have all the Batmen when all is said and done.

 

[Pittman4Two]

Really cool.

I enjoyed Ben in the role of Bruce/Batman. Another one of those instances when an actor, with a great take on a character, gets caught in a bad script.

 

[Lily Adler]

 

[TheVileOne]

It was Agatha all along?!

 

[Enriquespy]

She became best friends with their grandmas, then subliminally implanted the name "Martha" for their daughters.

 

[The_Manhunter]

Agreed!

 

[Pittman4Two]

Agreed!

Ha, I meant to say bad script. Glad you knew what I was trying to say. lol

 

[theastsunnn]

Heard a good point on a podcast, how did Superman not know about Batman, living in metropolis his whole life, since Batman was around for 20 years. I know he wasn’t exactly in the limelight, but seems he would know

How did Cyborg think he was an urban legend?

 

[theastsunnn]

How did Cyborg think he was an urban legend?

Cyborg was born when Batman started. Superman is a journalist and born an alien, saving people since A child

 

[TheVileOne]

Batman's activities are being reported on by the media and Victor went to school in Gotham City.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I mean, the comics themselves have gone back and fourth on whether or not Batman is an urban legend.

 

[Enriquespy]

I mean, yes, but it's not like Ben's batman was a king of discretion and stealth.

 

[Rick190293]

Bats being an urban legend never made sense for me, as he was active for 20 years. In his early years, okay, but after two decades? That's why his first appearance scene is so weird, imo (although I enjoy the creepy mood). It only shows how Snyder had some good ideas that were badly executed

Yes, it makes more sense when he's first getting started. Not 20 years later.

 

[Pittman4Two]

Why would Superman care about what the Batman was doing in Gotham?

 

[C. Lee]

Why would Superman care about what the Batman was doing in Gotham?

Because Superman cares about all the people on Earth, even if they happen to live in Gotham.

 

[Mysteryman]

Saw a video where a guy claimed that adjusted for inflation, BVS made a BILLION! Any truth to that?
