He's grasping at batmans legs trying to get up. Batman wraps his arm around his neck. DDT! DDT Right onto that very same steel chair. Superman is knocked out. Batman walks into the nearest building and starts climbing to the top. Robin has his hands behind his head grinding over supermans face like ravishing rick rude. Batman reaches the top of the building. Standing tall on the edge. Reaches both arms out like jeff hardy and jumps off the building. In the skull! The kryptonite bladed elbow of Batman right into the skull of superman. The bloody fricken carnage. It was too much. Kids in the audience were screaming.

Great movie

I would so pay to see that movie.

I thought the movie was good, better then Man of Steel, don't know what those critics are talking about.

anyways, the scenes of Batman fighting those dudes, reminds me a lot of the Arkham games.

You never know what the critics are talking about so why would your opinion make a difference now?
I can respect THGhost's opinion (as someone who hasn't seen the movie), but you keep blabbering on about how only the amount of money earned matters and it's frustrating.

That's just my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

When the Flash visits Bruce doesn't he tell him that Lois is the key and that he must save her? If he said Martha it would've made more sense in context of the film. I'm almost positive he said Lois which makes me think it could be a setup for JL

Spoiler:

What most people got from that is that maybe after the loss of Lois Superman becomes evil as a reference to the injustice society. Someone posted that it was a left over from a previous script but because Snyder liked it he left it in. The only references it has for the setup for a JL movie are the parademons you seef lying around since Lex Luthor seems to refer to Darkseid in the ending but that's also speculation even if likely correct.

This is TMNT 2014 all over again.

People can like or dislike a movie but you can't attack people who dislike or like it.

I disagree, there's tons of great movies that have bad RT scores and some that have an overwhelmingly high RT score because of hype, most recent case being Episode VII. Of course they can do a good job as well but to say there aren't exceptions is incorrect.

So what's the deal with the KNIGHTMARE sequences? Is there any discernible origin to them beyond Bruce's paranoia about Superman?

I also ask because Darkseid's Omega symbol has shown up in some of the KNIGHTMARE stuff in the trailers. And Parademons. And he hasn't met Darkseid yet or his Parademons for him to even know what those are to be dreaming about them.

There's another scene where Batman has

another dream, and the Flash appears in it, or it looks like the Flash.

I'm not attacking anyone.

Anyone else get a Riddler-from-Gotham vipe from Jesse Eisenberg's performance?

My thoughts when watching: "Well, looks like fight choreographer played the Arkham games."

Just his paranoia I think. Could be a vision more than a dream, which would explain him "knowing" what Parademons look like.

I went in with an open mind with a focus on what I thought I'd like. I didn't miss anything. It was actually better than expected, but still a terrible film. Don't assume people want to dislike a movie. Nobody likes to waste their time.

The set up for JLA is cool, to counter the negative reaction to how they introduce some JLA characters as "it was crammed in and unnecessary" as I've read countless times...it was creative, original, and it didn't derail the movie, while also nudging another character in a certain direction.

Didn't derail the movie? Are you kidding me? You could cut out about 40 minutes and still have a coherent plot that doesn't miss a beat.

I've read and heard it was boring, and I cannot even begin to understand how someone was bored by this movie unless they have zero interest in comic book movies in any way shape or form. If you have any interest in Batman or Superman you cannot be bored by this movie.

You can if both Batman and Superman are unrecognizable beyond their wardrobe.

Superman/Clark now 18 months into being Superman is still trying to figure out his morals.

So two movies into the DC universe and Superman still doesn't have a clue who he should be. Why is this acceptable? If this were Batman people would be going apesh*t.

He confronts Batman telling him to stop, because he understands Batman's intent, but his execution is crossing the line. Right there the two have opposing views. Conflict...not sure what more people were looking for. I guess people wanted them to sit down and have a 30 minute debate.

But that's not what the fight ends up being about. It was a hostage situation. Making Superman an extension of Lex cheapens the fight. The fight would be so much more meaningful if it came from a clash of ideologies instead of a cheap ticking clock plot device. Also, it doesn't dismiss the fact that they could have had a 60 second chat and skip the fight altogether.

For people complaining about the JLA character introductions, they are used to further Wonder Woman's decision to help Batman, and in time help Batman and Superman.

So you're saying Wonder Woman would have bailed when Doomsday showed up if she hadn't gotten Bruce's email?

It's a NIGHTMARE...he is fearing both Superman ruling the planet and him having to kill people.

Unlike the time when he kills all those people in the cars, the grenade he chucks at the henchmen, and the guy with the flamethrower he sent to his death?

Bottom line, if you hated Man of Steel, save yourself the energy of writing a negative review of the movie because you'll hate this as well. DC movies obviously aren't for you.

This is the kind of narrow minded mentality that makes discussions impossible. Regardless of how many facts are presented, they're dismissed as butthurt. I'm ten times over a DC guy over a Marvel. I have a clear vested interest in DC movies. That doesn't mean I have to like what they're giving me.

[THGhost]

"unrecognizable beyond their wardrobe"? Cavill and Affleck look nothing alike.

I also never got the feeling that the movie was cramming too much in. It felt like it all flowed pretty smoothly.

That was Flash in the boom tube??? I was confused by that scene. I was thinking it was one of the Robins (Jason as Red Hood perhaps)....He said "You can save us..."

But anyways after seeing Batman v Superman I just have to say... Lex Luthor Jr is an arse. It's all on him! It's all his fault!

Otherwise I liked the movie. Sure it's not super duper awesome but it was pretty good for the most part. Every movie has it's flaws.

Also, The Wayne's appeared to have died around the first week of April 1981. The theatre marque said Excalibur would be out on wednesday and that came out April 10th.

And the whole thing with every super powered person being considered a meta? Seriously? Flash I can understand but Aquaman and Wonder Woman?? And since when did Cyborg have his own insignia??

Also, interesting that they had Metropolis and Gotham across the bay from each other!!

Well, look at that. All the PDMT fans are fans of BVS.
The same people who don't care what the story is as long as there's lots of smashy-smash and loud noises, are applauding this.
It's actually the same group of people, with the same defiant attitude saying virtually the same thing.

But I called it. It's getting easier and easier to be prophetic 'round here.

"Clearly, you're not a true fan of DC"

"Superman sucks anyway, I went for Batman"

"This is just part of the story!!! It's setting up Justice League!"

"Obviously a Marvel fanboy."

"What do critics know, they don't read comics."

I forgot the "You're just not smart enough to understand it" when discussing an unintelligible script. Always a big seller.

So he's got superpowers in this movie?

He seems to have a psychic ability at least. He has visions of da future or a possible future.
