That could be a problem

Rating: 4/10 (7 August 2019)

This movie starts with the scene of batman's parents in the alley which we probably have seen many times over and i accept that as a part of the new continuity , and i have to say that the way Bruce Wayne's parents had died is not very epic comparing to the way kal el's parents had , and this adds to the fact that batman is a very much human whose parents die in back alleys getting mugged like any normal people in the world without destruction of a planet and ending of a civilization like that in Kal El's case.
we see the destruction that had been caused by the fight between general Zod and superman from the perspective of Bruce Wayne , and for the record the laser in this scene was general Zod's , and by the way unlike many other people i don't find it very stupid not to leave the building during the fighting because as it was shown ; it was a total chaos and not everyone could make a good decision where he should hide , inside a building or outside
before i get into this point i have to remind you that batman had been around for about 20 years while superman had been around for a few days only , and the only time clark kent the reporter had heared about batman was when he became violent and branded the criminals who he deemed unredeemable , it was the only time when batman's work showed a real result when everyone became fearing him rather than revering him
and that made this batman a reckoning force that answers to none , he is okay with breaking arms and torturing anybody during the interrogation , that's why every criminal is afraid of him , and here he was shown closer to a vigilante who's okay with killing although they have always made him a killer by proxy as the director described , as if it was the denial inside batman's head that keeps denying that he had killed
if we compare superman vs batman , we have someone who's very reluctant and asks for the advice from his mother or lover vs a man who's very committed to his decision against the advice of his mentor , we have a man who's very ideal and believes that the good guys should always win against a man who fought for 20 years without any result and buried many friends along the way , but they are both share being depolarizing the people as many love them and many genuinely hate them
it's known that many things of this film were inspired by the dark knight returns comic , in this comic batman said that he feels guilty of killing many people by letting the joker lives , maybe here he's trying to not do the same mistake by eliminating the threat while it was new , he's taking the superman responsible for killing everyone because he was the one who brought Zod's attention to earth and his presence caused the explosion at the senate , and that increased by the dream sequence in which he saw a bad possible outcome of a superman going tyrant which is inspired by the 2014 injustice videogame
and here we have to talk about lex luthor , here we have a very different interpretation of lex than any one we have seen , we have a young man who's traumatized by his abusive father whom was traumatized by living in a totalitarian dictatorship , and i have seen an interview of the producer saying that they decided to make lex much younger because they were trying to make him much like these days young genius millionaire entrepreneurs like mark zuckerburg and steve jobs and that also was inspired by the superman birthright comic in which lex is a young mad genius who feels alone due to his genius and when superman becomes public he fights him and tries to frame him to elevate his image in the public eye
here lex is trying to frame superman not to gain from his death but out of his hate to the idea of gods and his belief that the gods should they be present they should be mean like zeus who had punished Prometheus for helping mankind , so he created a god from his own blood and the blood of his adversary to show the dark face of krypton
and here i have to talk about the scene that made me curse in the theatre with everybody else 'save Martha' , when superman said save Martha batman remembered his mother and instantly he's reminded how he started the as the batman and how everything is right now with him crossing the lines over and over and trying to consciously kill someone because he poses a threat , he understood that he became somehow a bad guy and so he took the chance to save the mother of superman a redemption chance and by the way that was the only scene in the entire movie when batman saved someone
but i have to say that until now after 3-4 times watching the theatrical and the ultimate edition of the movie , i still hates how they depicted them being one 5-second conversation away from understanding each other and saving everyone , it was like that they had to fight no matter what
another thing i hate about this movie that it had a huge screen time for lois lane and her investigation as if they were trying to make her relevant to the story by any means necessary
ps: the ultimate edition is the only one that should be seen because it opens the door to the different worlds that lex knew about and the possibility of lex making a barging with them and it shows how his men retrieved the bullets and scorched the bodies at the beginning of the movie to frame superman's
and i have to say that over time i liked how this movie takes right from where the previous one had left and how i liked the action scenes and the dark colors being a fan of zack snyder's work and how superman died is the spitting image of how king arthur died in Excalibur movie which was in the theatre the Wayne family got off at the beginning
and i have to give credit to the costume designer who made the batman costume with bruises to indicate that he had fought wearing it many times
at the end , it's easy to find everything wrong about this movie and showing a blind eye about everything that's good in it but i ask everybody to re-watch it again hopefully you will enjoy it as much as i did
