Your ridiculously condescending manner isn't going to sway anyone to listen to what you're saying.

I'm tired of people embracing trash, I shouldn't of had to explain that it's obvious if you can't understand that bit then there's a problem. Whenever I'm nice people seem to ignore me even if I present a logical argument. A movie doesn't have to slow down to let you process something you should be able to do that yourself, people did it just fine with TDK and no there isn't a difference as I will explain.
Did Dark Knight give us time to slow down and process the scene where joker tried to kill the mayor no we got a scene then we moved on to Batman interrogating Maroni, Rachel we get the letter than we move on to Jokers next scheme. The hospital one brief scene on to Jokers next scheme, no city wide reaction at all. Even the press conference just happens no public reaction no political reaction nothing just on to the next Joker scene. Maroni and Two Face scene happens not mentioned again. TDK first half is cluttered the Hong Kong bits aren't really necessary the Reese subplot furthers nothing the sonar subplot with Fox has two scenes.
In the first act we do jump from scene to scene also some character stuff are rushed, Bruce doesn't trust Dent then he just does after a speech even his prosecution would not be enough to win Batman's trust. We go from the fox intro to the diner scene with no lead in its then followed by the mob meeting joker with no connection. Another example that could be considered rushed the joker video no reaction no fear we just jump to the party from there the pacing is almost perfect, but the first act is a little cluttered and rushed. I also feel I should bring up this fact as well, Superman is overshadowed the movie didn't know what to do with him, which is crap, but didn't this exact thing happen to Batman in TDK?
All of this sounds exactly like BVS with one difference it seems like MOS dwells on these things longer the character stuff seems deeper more psychological. The film doesn't sound different than TDK.
My suggestion of "slowing down" has to do with Snyder's storytelling style, not the script. He doesn't seem capable of wielding this much material in a competent way. Nolan absolutely handles the amount of story he has in TDK to perfection. He understands pacing and how it affects the plot. So whereas two films can have precisely the same story elements, that has nothing to do with how those elements are delivered to the audience.
I used an analogy of my parents reading a bedtime story earlier. That's what we have here. Nolan is like my dad, he understands how to move through a story with finesse, make it fun and interesting, accentuating all the important elements, captivating the audience, bringing the story to life so to speak. Snyder is like my mom, he just reads, gets through the book and says good night. Maybe if he was reading less weighty material, he can deliver a better narrative.
Traversing through the storylines of 5 main characters (Supes, Lex, Bats, WW, and Lois) who all have contrasting stories, but similar motivations is hard, but in a film, you can't leave that sort of navigation to the script alone. That's why we have directors. You can't just "shoot what's on paper", sometimes you have to break away from the script and go in another direction for a particular scene. You might have to add a scene, take a scene out, rewrite a character or kill one off.
Sometimes, I get the feeling Snyder is only focused on taking whatever is on the page and putting it on screen, not worrying about if it works or not.
