NOT the Batman and Superman you know

Rating: 6/10 (1 April 2016)

What was so magical about all latest Batman movies is that the characters (heroes, villains, whoever else) were introduced in a very subtle way, leaving much to be unknown and up to the viewer to guess (hint: Joker). Cat Woman with that scene where she flipped her goggles up and her silhouette finally *appeared* to be that of a cat's head... that scene alone was so refined... so subtle yet bold... was just very striking. Same with the storyline - little twists and turns, drama when needed but never over the top capitalizing on a film noire styled slow but certain plot development that does not jump head-first into action. This movie does the same to some extent, but less film noire and more action. Good action though. Furthermore the Batman and Superman characters are now anti-heroes all the time pretty much. And yeah, they fight as the name suggests. That's very confusing to say the least, IMHO they should never have mixed the "two worlds" in that way. Add to that the fact that they do give off a much more generic atmosphere than they did before... But... the action was decent, and somewhat new, and they did kinda manage to squeeze an absurd plot on to the screen without it making and impression of being totally stupid. Just a little stupid maybe. All in all as far as being a thriller/action movie - yeah, it did the part. Just don't expect the same kind of film noire madness that Batman movies capitalized on.
To be honest I was most afraid of Ben Affleck not being able to play Batman's role right... well, he actually did it quite well, but then again this is NOT the same Batman as in the Batman movies. A kinda important plot hole though is that guy that played Alfred - well he was literally so young when Bruce Wayne was fully grown that they could have been brothers. Should have gone for a much older looking actor IMHO. So the movie has some small mistakes, but they are far apart.
Overall and enjoyable movie.
