Decent movie for a comic fan who wishes to follow DC !

Rating: 7/10 (15 August 2016)

The movie " Man of steel" was released in 2013. In that movie, Superman meets General Zod,an adversary from his planet who has come to bring Earth to the brink of extinction. A war rages between the two sides. This movie's story line begins at the end of that war.
The next movie to be released in the DC universe is "Justice League" which involves both Superman and Batman along with some other super heroes. So it sort of makes sense in the development that Gotham is adjacent to Metropolis. The movie compared to the earlier Batman series in terms of graphics and the action scenes was much better. But the story as a whole took a beating. There's this critical scene or what you may call a climax scene, where Batman is on the verge of killing Superman. He just doesn't do it, simply because his mother's first name is the same as Superman's mother's. This is the scene where the movie hit a low. Also, there are some scenes where we find Batman shooting bad guys. This completely changes the character developed for Batman in the earlier series where he makes sure that he doesn't kill anyone. The movie as a whole was sort of awkwardly paced and a bit dull and boring. but the part where wonder woman was introduced was exciting, as a comic fan. some scenes to build on the story, such as the scene involving " The Flash", made it quite interesting.
