Snyder says he's a comic book fan, and trying to appeal to what we want as fans. Does anyone want to see a Superman with no charisma, or Batman on a killing spree? Or an incoherent story?
Maybe I'm looking at too many reviews. I might come back tonight and say I loved it.

It's really funny seeing Snyder have to defend Batman killing when one of the primary complaints I always heard about MoS was that Superman killed.

I don't know that it's funny. I just read one review where it said that he transformed Batman into a "murderous dickhead."
It's at 31% right now on RT.

Batman doesn't need to be "grimdark". By definition, Batman is one of the darker mainstream superheroes to begin with; he's a mortal vigilante whose primary foes are dealing with crippling mental disorders and super powers brought on by horrific accidents.
They've done Batman killing and super dark Batman, and they've done them well, but always in one offs. You want to jump start an entire heroes run and make your Batman Thomas Wayne in the flashpoint series, then well...you don't have Batman.
And he can rationalize it anyway he wants - but you're gonna have fans who have been following Batman for years and know why a super dark/killing Batman won't work in the long run.
It's no wonder it feels like they're mocking the darker edged Batman. It is a dark series intrinsically; he's a fucking fool if he thinks people just aren't paying attention.

this really REALLY cracked me up. I wonder if it would be anywhere near as funny to do the reverse with Charlie Cox seeing the negative rating of Batman v Superman and smiling. I mean obviously it wouldn't be the same since Cox never played Batman, but I think it would still work.

Gah. I believe the Batman movie with the nipples had a higher RT/Meta score.
I have never had any hope for this film but there is no way it's worse than the Clooney Batman.

Seeing it tonight. It's going to be awful. But I'll see it because it's a super hero movie, just like everyone else.
I wonder what the margin of difference in a "good" superhero movie earning is compared to the "money grab" earning, really. Like 30% total gross maybe? If so they should've just saved money on the actors and script writers and CGI and just gone all C-tier and made a heftier profit.
