And for me, there were so many little small details that made a difference for me. Little bits of dialogue. For example, when Batman's headed to the warehouse and he's talking to Alfred, the UC added a bit of banter where Batman says "I dont deserve you, Alfred," to which Alfred glibly replies, "no, sir, you do not." Its a small thing and yet seeing that bit of classic Batman/Alfred repartee which was sorely missing in the movie brought a smile to my face. It was also a sign of Bruce slowly returning back to his old self.
One of my favourite small details was Martha waving at the Batplane and smiling after Batman rescues her.
Speaking of little things that mean a lot...
One of my favorite moments, but with context: During the Batmobile chase, when he's gunning and mowing down his prey, he never looks back as he drives straight through the wreckage of a exploding car, he's driven in one single direction and he has dehumanized his prey since all that matter is the single goal (in this case, the Kryptonite, to "stop the thread"); after his shock/awakening and promise to save Martha, while he guns down the people with machine guns shooting at him at the warehouse,
he looks back.
Hesitation, contemplation, remorse.
He still does what's necessary, but there's something different this time...
See, it's the little things for me.
Moving away from discussions about BvS which have been done to death...
I've seen Ray Fisher say recently that his frontrunner for the director of the solo Cyborg film would be Zack Snyder, if he was ever to do a DC Film again.
As much as I love Zack and Ray, I would pass on that. I would rather someone like Famuyiwa take on Cyborg(still maintain Dope was amazing, and removing him from Flash was a major major blunder), and would love to see Ray be the lead in Zack's next non CBM film. As for CBMs, if Zack was to return, I would rather he take on an elseworld project.
More suited to his sensibilities, and he gets away from the "not muh" crowd.
My biggest wish that will never happen now, would've been Zack Snyder's "New Gods".
I think its safe to say Zack's cbm days are over anyway. Heck, Im not even sure he'll be working for WB anymore. Whatever happened between him and the studio sounds real ugly and you could feel the bitterness from him.
I'm certainly curious about this, since his next project is "The Fountainhead" is WB has the rights to that one.
Also, people really keep thinking that things within studio projects are run as simplistic as bloggers want to make them out to be; there's lots of people involved in each one of these projects and sometimes things don't go as expected and it doesn't mean that the people involved are at each other's throats yelling "Traitor!!!", sometimes it could be like "alright, we ****ed up there, let's try not to make this mistake again".
Again, I haven't produced any Hollywood movie, but I seriously doubt that people adopting the "you betrayed me! I will never work with you again!!" make it anywhere in Hollywood....being childish doesn't pay in big business (unless your name is Trump, of course
)
