A prelude to to bigger and better things

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2016)

I kept thinking through of the film that Bruce Wayne had some serious issues. That is something I think we all tend to forget. He saw his parents being gunned down in front of him and then grew up with his butler in a huge mansion, of course he will have issues. Ben Affleck pulls of the Dark and brooding Knight better than expected. Lex Luthor wasn't as predictable as the previous incarnations of him. His end game wasn't only real estate or the demise of Superman. He reminded me of a modern day IT company CEO (Google and Facebook come to mind) but this only made him that much better and a bit more scarier as he is, like in the comics, a very powerful corporate figure rather than the mad scientist of the past who hid in the sewers. The final scene of the battle along with the final scene of the film made me hope for one of my favorite story arcs from the 90's to make it to the big screen. Let us see "The 4 pretenders" make their entry to fill the void left by this film. By doing that it would make way for a good Green Lantern cross-over which will be a great way of getting GL in to the Justice League. I'm living in hope. All in all I was not disappointed with this film. I enjoyed it. It has opened up the DCU for some interesting possibilities, which I hope will come to fruition.
