If you are tired of seeing CGI buildings falling in a superhero movie, it's time to bow out because that ain't going away any time soon. Might as well stick to Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
Maybe i should. I dont care if it's done in a movie that includes superheroes like this, that have powers. But i guess i mean excessive use of CG and falling buildings.
I too wish Bats vs Supes was the climax. I've always felt that way. I just feel like anything following that is going to feel like a letdown dramatically.
The "learn to coexist, team up to take down the bigger bad" angle...I'm sorry, I know fans are gonna go nuts for that, but to me it just feels a bit on the corny side considering this film is being marketed as a clash of the titans.
But given what the film is mandated to accomplish in terms of world-building for future films, there's probably no way around it. I think that's part of what is somewhat eye-rolling about it though. It feels inevitable in a very obvious corporate kind of way.
Exactly. I mean, they MIGHT be able to get me pumped for Batman and Superman teaming up once they acknowledge what Lex is really doing. But i seriously doubt anything interesting will come of it once they rehash the Avengers plot, that they're already going to be doing for multiple Justice League movies anyway! Why do it it now?
Bats vs Supes as the climax won't have the necessary tension. We all know supes is gonna win if he tries. In DKR it worked because the focus was on Batman. How long he can hold out. It was a culminating elseworlds story, so there was an impending sense of doom to it. BvS is the exact opposite. It's a beginning for the DCEU, so you know Batman won't be in any real danger.
It wont have the necessary tension? Why not? If they can make Batman win in TDKReturns, then you can create tension of "what if Batman can take him down, at the very least". We all know that this leads to Justice League, so everybody is assuming that the Trinity will survive the end anyway right? So there's not much tension to begin with, even if you put Bizarro or Metallo in there. Maybe with Doomsday you can create a buzz of "what if he kills Supes like in the comics?". But some of us are hearing it's not him. So what is this talk about tension? We know the two leads aren't going anywhere anytime soon, so why not give it their all with a climactic Superman/Batman fight that Diana has to break up. Something that puts Bruce in the hospital indefinitely.
Im not saying my ideas are better than what they could give me in the end. Im waiting to be surprised. But there are ways to make a compelling fight at the end of the film, and still hype the formation of a Justice League, spin Gal Gadot off into her own movie, lock up Luthor (if need be), and possibly hint at Darkseid or Brainiac.
It sounds cheesy to think of Cavill's Superman all "evil" and brainwashed, going after the heroes. I know the outcome and it's dull and messier than just a Batman vs Superman showdown. Supes sees the light before he blasts Batman or another innocent person with his powers.
You can ask, "what's the difference between this and Bane/Bats fighting in the middle of Rises, only for a bigger battle to happen at the end that included armor, Catwoman, Talia, an army, aerial vehicles??". Well, that was a finale and the first fight was done with taste. I dont see Snyder holding back on buildings crashing in the first fight. It's probably going to be long too. I want that. But then we get a long final matchup with the Trinity vs a giant idiot villain who is the least bit interesting. OR Wondy & Bats take on a mind controlled idiotic Superman. It leads to MoS level repetition. If they can cut it down then it can work. But since when has Zack been able to say "less is more"?
Yes, it's the beginning of the DCEU, so you know Batman won't be in any danger that could be fatal. But that is the case whether it ends with Batman/Superman brawling or the Trinity take on Doomsy. There's no difference with that. Only a more crowded action sequence or seven.
