BvS The Themes in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

[sf2]

I think being Superman is a pretty joyless existence. Being able to fly would be fun but the burden of caring for the entire world, would be awful. Imagine knowing that every single moment you take for yourself, means someone somewhere is going to die or worse.

that's why this movie is about clark kent; the warm hearted farmboy who has a good live, a soul mate, a loving mother and a job which he is serious of doing it right.

we didn't get all those in his previous movies... we got a joyless, lifeless, not progression superman who smiles... in his previous movies... and some fans still want that...

Joseph Campbell quote
it is also the theme of the movie...

“And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god;"
refer to Lex, he found superman who saved him from another abomination.

"where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves;"
refer to bruce / batman. the batmonster he had became he managed to slay it in the end.

"where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.”
refers to superman... the travel alone to find answer and then returns to embrace his world...

epic, isn't it?
