Exactly in the dark knight returns the whole movie was about batman and superman. It gave them a legitimate reason to fight and even when all was said and done it shows that the two were friends cause Batman didn't put a mix that would kill Superman and Superman didn't say anything when he knew that Batman wasn't dead. Meanwhile we got a movie with Batman, Superman, Wonder woman, Luthor, Doomsday, Lois Lane in the tub, Churros, Supreme court, terrorists, Ghost dads, and Martha...I mean there is only so much you can cram in a movie before you lose the audience. The movie was too early, took on waaaay too much and couldn't get people attached. This movie should have been the end of the Justice league not the begging. The start of the justice league should have been where the animated movie started (forgot the name but that shit was tight) heroes meeting one another, making fun of batman for not having superpowers until he shows them what a bad ass he is...WHY DO DIS DC...why do dis.

But the path WB, made the whole dictator Superman and time traveling Flash scenes to be just weird and pointless. Lack of courage from WB that made the whole DCEU go to shit. That's the major difference between DCEU and MCU. Marvel was clever and put someone to oversee the scripts (Kevin Feige), so the whole universe is (not perfect but) coherent.

krdecade47 those characters in guardians couldn't quite hold their own as solo acts, they work together as a team, a team whose stories are interesting as a collective, not as much so apart. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman should be able to both work as a collective and as a solo effort, that's why it took like 4 movies before the avengers for the effect of "individually incredible heroes coming together to make one group" to work so well, and feel so significant. I have no idea why DC just jumped in so quick. Hell, they could've done Man of Steel, Wonder Woman and a Batman movie before it was time for BVS or Justice League, but they rushed into the collective idea way too fast. Batman v Superman was the FIRST time we were seeing Affkeck Batman, so the movie had to introduce him as well as tell a separate story, it just gets super messy. And while Guardians is an example of how you can make a team work in one film, Suicide Squad is a good example of why you can't

Another problem with BVS is that in Frank Miller's series, it was two old friends finding themselves on opposite sides of an ideological divide in which they both had valid points. In BvS that friendship wasn't there so the battle never had any meaning.

A little late, but the Batman in BvS is the dumbest modern batman yet. Gets played by Luther completely. Doesn't dig up any information about Superman, but Luthor and Lois could figure out Clark's secret identity. Heck, even Luther knows Batman's secret identity (as revealed by Zack Snyder). Focuses on Superman, but has no idea about other metahumans like WW, Flash, etc. Basically, all the future members of Justice Leagues was picked out by Luther, and Batman/WW just goes after them. So much for Batman being a leader, studying his enemies and putting a plan together.

I still severely dislike the notion that a good person wanting to do a good thing makes them boring. This honestly should be DC's bread and butter; their heroes SHOULD be larger-than-life inspirations. It worked in the comics with "What's Wrong with Trust, Justice, and The American Way?" and "All-Star Superman," and it works great in Captain America and Wonder Woman movies. Some heroes should be dark, but Superman is not one of them.

@am_connor4914

Hey I know this comment is old as fuck lol but I thought I would put some insight on why he says save Martha rather than my mother. First of all, Batman right before he is about to kill Superman talks about how his parents “must’ve taught he meant something” or whatever he rants about. In that case, Batman clearly shows he doesn’t give a shit about Superman or his parents. So if Superman did say save my mother, Batman would just say “no. I don’t care about you or your mother”. Secondly, Superman is from space, at least not from earth, so again Batman would probably reply to that as how tf am I gonna get to space and save his mother. Superman saying save Martha also humanizes him by stating her name since it’s a human name and Batman doesn’t consider Superman human (you’re not brave. Men are brave). And so this shows that he actually has a human mother. Luckily, Batman’s mothers name is also Martha, so this causes him to get confused since his parents are constantly on his mind (as seen in the nightmares previously in the movie). It also gives him a chance at redemption: he wasn’t able to save his mother when he was young, but now as Batman maybe he can save someone else’s mother and allow him peace for not being able to save his own mother (kinda like Andrew Garfield saving MJ in no way home). No, they didn’t stop fighting because their mothers has the same name. It had to do with Batman realizing what he was about to do (kill Superman) and seeing himself in the mirror for once and how far away from his moral code he had gotten (the no killing rule)

Shawn Júnior He meant there's almost no ideological difference in the context of what he was talking about, especially when contrasted with the very big differences between B and S in the graphic novels, which are worth fighting about. in the sense he's discussing, as randian heroes, they ARE the same and have very similar approaches to choosing their destiny. the only difference left (and he did say ALMOST no difference) is what you mentioned- S sees B as being brutal and dangerous and B sees S as being dangerous. there isn't much difference left, is there? this minor remaining difference can be attributed to their abilities. anyone with the power of superman is a potential threat to every living being and any normal man fighting crime would need to do some shit like batman. it's hardly appropriate for S to kill B over this. on the other hand, B does have a fair point about killing S, NOT because they're so different, but simply because S is so powerful. and B shouldn't have backed down if his reasoning was sound it shouldn't matter if their mothers have the same name but that's a separate point. my point is that this video is not "wrong wrong wrong" in the context of their thesis, they explained very clearly why there isn't much difference.

Except do you really want to live in a world where beings of great power simply take the law into their own hands and serve as the judge, jury and executioner? Would you feel comfortable living in a Gotham where Batman has more blood on his hands than the criminals themselves? What happens if that creates a bloodlust that leads him to murder people who are innocent? What happens when the innocent are caught in the crossfire between him and other criminals? Would you feel comfortable living in a Metropolis (which, honestly, is a prosperous city regardless of the existence of Superman or Lex) where a godlike alien can just swoop in and fly someone into the space and leave them to die? It's easy to say that you would be okay with it when it's a criminal, but happens when they decide that the laws of man aren't good enough and we get an Injustice scenario? But, one must also look at the question of redemption. Most recently, the comics of shown that people like Lex are capable of it. He's taken on the mantle of Superman and is using his intelligence and wealth to help those instead of harming. How long that will last is a good question, but it's still there. He's not the only one either. Harley Quinn is doing the same thing in her own series along with Poison Ivy. Captain Cold is there as well...He's shown that he can be a good guy when the situation calls for it. If Superman, Batman or the Flash had just decided that these people weren't worth it, that the chance to redeem themselves wasn't there, they would've ended them. But, they don't and that's a difficult choice as well. Does one choose to believe we can conquer our demons or do we just surrender to them?

Holy hell, you are even more dangerous than I originally assumed” - *Batman stabs him Those would have been just as logical as what they went with.

5:52-5:58 This is what so many people and hack writers get wrong about Superman: You are NOT supposed to relate to Superman the same way w/ heroes like Batman. Superman represents an ideal, something that we can strive towards. Think of people like Mother Theresa, Fred Rogers, or MLK Jr., and how we put them on a pedestal b/c of the content of their character which represents some of the best of humanity yet most people wouldn’t say “I can’t relate to them”. Instead they inspire us to be better. Same w/ Superman. Now some might argue that Rogers or King Jr. weren’t aliens w/ near God-like powers like Superman. True, but Superman is still similar to them b/c of his positive upbringing by imperfect, relatable, wholesome, and morally upright *HUMANS* (The Kents). Its b/c of this upbringing that Superman uses his tremendous powers selflessly for the good of mankind. Its also b/c of that imperfect human upbringing that Superman displays the imperfect and familiar human traits which is why Superman/Clark Kent is shown to get annoyed, angry, jealous, happy, and embarrassed. In short Superman may not be relatable in the sense that WE most likely will never have near God-like powers/skills, but we can still strive towards other moral, inspirational, and positive aspects of his character. And anyone who says that would be boring to watch has never watched Superman: TAS or All-Star Superman.

I think he's to focused on creating overly dramatic moments (i.e. save martha) and doesn't pay much attention to the context or character development thats supposed to lead to said moment.s

The way I saw it was a story of finding one’s self. The fact that Soops goes from reluctant Saviour to doubting his life to sacrificing his life for a cause he truely believes in. The way Bats goes from self righteous anger tinged with self loathing, to someone who fights for someone else, someone who he saw as an enemy. The fact that at the end of the movie, Bat now suffers real guilt, not the spoilt brat kind that has driven him since his parent’s death, but a true selfless guilt of someone who now wishes to help others because it is right. I see growth in the characters, a changing of motivation, of ideals. Even if you feel that their actions don’t change, the reasoning behind those actions do

No. It was not dope. It was a cascade of stupid decisions that ruined the historical moment of the first scene between the live action superman and batman. The one thing Superman knew about Batman at that point is he goes after criminals. Instead of stopping the people Batman was chasing, he chooses to stop Batman. Then Batman does nothing to resolve the issue or convince Supes to go after the criminals. Then Superman, despite apparently thinking Batman is a danger to the public, doesn't bring batman to the police and instead flies off. And Batman does nothing to continue chasing down the criminals after Supes flies off. As soon as the two lock eyes, justice and stopping crime takes a back seat to dick measuring. Not dope.

He's not acting out of ethical egotism. at all, not only is he not champion individualism over collectivism, but he does the polar opposite of that. Sacrificing his individuality (and identity) for the good of the collective (Gotham). If you're looking for a Randian superhero...look to Iron Man, not Batman.

Well said my friend, I have the same thought; especially in that part where he keeps Gotham in order under the EMP attack

"Jonathon Kent here dismantles the notion of selfless heroism. There's simply no point to being the classic, selfless do-gooder Superman because there will always be another flooded farm you couldn't stop." And that insipid idea is why this movie did not work. Any mature adult realizes that even if you can't help everyone, there is a point in doing what you can. That line encompasses a Perfect Solution Fallacy; if you can't save every farm, you shouldn't save any farm. Let's examine that logic using a different objects. If you can't cure every patient, you shouldn't cure any patients. If you can't put out every fire, you shouldn't put out any fires. If you can't stop every crime, you shouldn't stop any crimes. Has it fallen apart yet? That is always in the background, an annoying thought that the audience can't put into words but which makes them feel annoyed at the film. It's why the Donner Superman is still watchable and Snyder's Superman is unpalatable garbage.

I'm not going to get baited into an argument with someone who just wants to be insulting. I'll instead just let your comment speak for your intellect. But since you want to ask a question, I'll answer it.There is an actual discipline called logic. It doesn't mean what you seem to think it does. Two things have the same logical structure if they use the same rules, even if the things spoken about are different. A "Perfect Solution Fallacy" is an *informal* fallacy where you reject a workable partial solution just because it isn't able to solve every difficulty. Thus, the following simple syllogisms (look it up) all use the same logic, even though they speak about different things: 1) All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore Socrates is mortal. 2) All cats are mammals. Fluffy is a cat. Therefore Fluffy is a mammal. Not the same logic? Sometimes when you call someone stupid on the internet, you're the one who looks foolish. You just called someone stupid on the internet. Therefore you must look foolish. That's bad logic. It's a hasty generalization. But sometimes badly performed logic leads to a true conclusion.

The sub plot about the bullet and Lois investigating it, Clark investigating about the Batman, the corrupt witness that was killed in the end, the Lex plot, the plot of Clark searching for the answer if being Superman is the correct choice which was also the plot of Man of Steel, I guess it was settled in that movie, and so on. Those made the movie very uneven and jarring, that is why they have to remove so many scenes in the theatrical release. It's atleast 3 movies cram into 1.

It says how the belief in the messiah is ridiculous, the truth is that we save each other. It's not about individualism v collectivism. It's saying how ultimately, embodying these ideologies makes us empty, like how collectivist superman doesn't feel himself and how individual Batman doesn't feel like a saviour. They both are empty but save each other by seeing each others humanity. There's also the public that put their own beliefs, Gods, Jesus etc and project it onto superman but ultimately put faith in him as a human.

titel of the video: Batman v Superman: what went wrong? my first thought: EVERYTHING!!!

There's a few things this review misses, but most of Jared's reading I agree with up until the conclusion. Ultimately, BOTH Batman and Superman meet in the middle, not just Superman. Whereas Superman slowly comes to accept individualism as valid, Batman ALSO begins to see collectivism as valid. Yes, the Martha revelation during the fight was poorly executed, but this is the moment that Batman feels true empathy for his ultimate enemy. Reliving the pain of his own mother's death, he decides that he cannot inflict that upon another living soul, and instead begins a quest to help Superman no matter the cost to himself. This is completely at odds with who Batman was the entire time right up until this point. The film simply wants us to respect that there will always be an eternal struggle between the two philosophies, and also see that it is OK to change your mind based on the situation and your personal experiences in life. Dogmatic adherence to Randian philosophy would have had Batman end Superman's life then and there, resulting in the rest of humanity dying to Doomsday due to their inability to come together to meet a critical challenge. Similarly, succumbing to pure collectivism would have seen Superman lose the only things that made him human: Martha and Lois. Without that, you end up in Batman's post apocalyptic vision wherein Superman becomes an absolute dictator. The film wants us to respect the balance between the two philosophies, hence the "This is how a democracy works. We talk to each other." line.

Now THAT was the best explanation I have ever seen and heard.

BvS isn't about collectivism v individualism, nor is it about existentialism v nihilism, those two conflicts are immanent but the film cuts deeper than that, it's about ideologies v humanity, when superman embodies existential nihilism and both collectivism and individualism, as he's transcending ideologies to become human, it's about seeing humanity in each other.

Wait, I don't get the Rand hero thing for batman. Even tho he's working by himself, he works for the citizens of gotham. It's still for the collective good.

It's not "collective good" vs "individualism" more of a "government" vs "vigilantism". The US government in real life would never allow batman to exist. They're too paranoid, and wouldn't allow a man to operate own his own against crime with so much power. They would try to take control of him or stop him entirely. People like batman in turn doesn't trust the government and for good reason. The government isn't perfect and their ideals will probably clash extremely often.

btw, this is a great example for why the MCU is doing better than the DCEU at this point. Right after BvS, Civil war came out with a similar concept, and even though they never focused on the ideologies much, at least they didn't stray away from it the way BvS did. I'm a DC fan but I'm also a reasonable critic and if we pretend BvS was perfect, the DCEU will not improve. I like Marvel movies. I enjoy them. However, it's mostly just villains and heroes making sarcastic quips at each other while having fancy cgi fights. DC movies however have more emotions and are far more ambitious. Good DC movies that is. Suicide Squad was a failure in every way while BvS had potential but flunked all of it. At this point, Snyder is coming off as a wannabe Nolan who has the right idea but is unable to deliver due to difference in talents and skills. Hope this changes for the next few DCEU movies.(Wonder Woman was a lot better though it was by Patty Jenkins)

It should've been described as more of a Randian nature than actual objectivism. For example, Bruce Wayne's insistence on helping the people of Gotham despite no obligation to do so, all the money in the world to lay back and get fat on a throne he was handed down, and without the help (and even being persecuted by) the state, echoes Murray Rothbard's ideals of Voluntaryism (an Auberon Huebert take on voluntarism). Unlike Rothbard, though, Batman is no anarcho capitalist and doesn't seek destruction of the state, merely partaking in some of these ideals. Batman has even gone as far as to go against ideals of individualism and liberty through things like his NSA level spy network surveillance that pops up throughout the comics and movies.

Superman was meant to have an arc taking him from individualistic to sefless, but they crammed it in with three other stories so that by the time his internal struggle was complete, his idealogical conflict with Batman was well underway, plus Justice League drama and dying thrown in the mix as well. A proper series structure might have looked something like: Man of Steel Man of Tomorrow: Superman's arc from act 1, maybe throw in some time travel shenanigans to keep us on the hook for Bruce's story Batman vs Superman: The Dark Knight Returns adaptation, flesh out the time travel plot more Dawn of Justice: Death of Supermen adaptation, introduce the League in a reasonable amount of time, plus explain the fucking time travel at this point please Justice League, but it doesn't suck

Also explain why, if Ares looked like David Thewlis in the flashback, someone couldn't have just given Diana a description of him, or drawn a picture.

"The World Wars are his plan to wipe humanity" beggin your pardon Mr.Ares, but if that's your plan you suck at it. Like most artists your early work was your best it might have gotten more flashy and showy as time's gone on, but I doubt you'll ever beat your masterful use of "Genghis Khan." Though I do have to question your use of the fall of the Roman Empire as they considered your close cousin Mars to be quite the guy. As far as "wiping out humanity" I doubt the world war's are in you're top ten. The second one appears to be 11 so good effort there.

So Miller's a fan of Ayn Rand. That explains so much about his delusional world view.

I'm not a Radian guy, but you gotta be delusional if you don't see some actually brilliant aspects of the philosophy. It's not that far off from Existentialism, which is a philosophy I follow.

So check this out... Batman & Owl Man are fighting on a barren planet for the fate of all existence. ~Batman defeats Owl Man & says *_"We both looked at the abyss.. The difference between us is that YOU BLINKED"_* & That is the heart of Randian Objectivism-- Not evading reality. Not letting despair drive you towards rage, Living the best life you can as a rational being.

For so many years Batman and Superman were such close friends. When they did Return of the Dark Knight I couldn't get my head around the idea that they would be so against each other. Their friendship fell apart after that. It was more dramatic for these two to not get along. Every once in a while they're friends but then something happens to get them at each other's throats. I did love the movie, so much so that it's one of my favorite superhero films. Maybe because I'm so into the comics that things made sense to me more so than the general audience. I don't know.

This explanation was the best on youtube!.

This movie had a redundant story, a LOT of time was given to side characters (the guy in the wheelchair, the african actress, LOIS) and not enough time for some superman HUMAN or Fun scenes, they could have used the story of superman agreeing to work with the goverment after the african incident ,Batman sees that as a "holy Fuck now the government has more power what will they do with it,invade nations? " and insted of the "Martha scene " how bout sending KG beast to make sure Batman kills superman and making KG want to kill the god himself ,interupting the fight and Batman realizing he Fucked up

The real problem is that they tried to mix objectivism and superheroes. That doesn't fucking work, unless the superheroes are punching the objectivists.

Ironically Captain America Civil War has the same essential conflict.

1:10 wow, comparing Sneider's Superman to The Last Temptation. Seems so obvious once you hear it but it never occurred to me. Great channel.

Ehhh.... The entire movie should have been a movie about the tragedy of unnecessary conflict. Even if drawing on frank miller's work, using Ayn Rand as a reference for "relatable" and "idealized" characters, The movie should have simply focused on how both batman and superman were not what the public, as an anonymous collection of individuals, perceived, and that neither batman nor superman had control over their own Symbolism. The unnecessary conflict comes into the show when the ignorant public perceives a conflict between the symbolism of Batman and Superman, and constructs a false narrative that eventually leads to an unnecessary conflict between superman and batman based on those false perceptions, which neither can avoid because they do not control how the public view perceive them to be. Ideally, you could then make an interesting movie while distancing yourself from Ayn Rand.

Hollywood Loves Ayn Rand too much. She's tailor made for movie trailers that start with: *_In a World of unimaginable horror One man will step forth... etc_* I think BVS: Dawn of Justice would have worked out better if Ronald Reagan or his nearest equivalent was the villain instead of Lex Luther.

Everything.

Great insights again Jared.. Agree on that is it a "good mess".. I just need to watch it every so often because mostly I love all of the actors.. and what a Gal! I can't get enough of looking at her.. it's funny, your spot on in that.. with just a couple of alterations I too feel that it would have worked out quite well.. that suspensed themes angle was quite interesting actually and will probably be re-rendered in a fully complete thought out to the end form so as to have the essential sensisble impact

“Maybe Justice League will get it right” No the fuck they won’t

Christopher Reeve is the Best Superman to date

When they have you having to analyse a pivotal scene to understand what it's trying to imply instead of it being obvious since it's a key moment made for everyone to understand, that's what went wrong. For example, the Martha scene.

SlavjanA If something requires you to think that doesn't make it necessarily bad. I understand most people just want popcorn action flicks and things to be spelled out in big bold ink, otherwise the movie is just bad. I tend to like a movie more when it makes me think about it and understand it for myself, like Logan for example. Otherwise the movie is pretty forgettable and not impactful.

The Uncensored Gnome Logan makes sense and has consistent (or gradual) character motivation throughout though. All of the subtext is available for analysis, but the surface level makes for a stable and functioning viewing experience. BvS expects you to pick it apart for two weeks before you're allowed to make a judgement on what the movie was even about. Mainly because it was so muddled that it basically asked you to put in whatever philosophy you want. It's like a Rorschach test. It's not actually saying anything, and by leaving it completely ambiguous, the audience can fill in whatever supposition or conclusion they want. It's classic Fake Depth. It brings up countless ideas it doesn't ever actually explore and expects brownie points for knowing they exist.

The Uncensored Gnome I understand what you mean, and I'm on the same boat as you, but no one goes in to see this film expecting it to be directed by David Lynch, of course I'm exaggerating but hopefully you get my point. Like I said with the Martha scene, it's supposed to basically show Batman realising that Superman is a man, has feelings, and isn't just a robot, which is something seen if the scene's analysed, but because it's not clearly shown, you got the meme.

SlavjanA True, true. I like the idea of the Martha scene but not the execution. There are several things that are just poorly executed in the movie which is my main problem with it. However aside from philosophical ideologies and the Martha scene, the movie can be understand. Batman doesn't like Superman because he views him as a time bomb. Here's the part about analyzing the movie though, and I get your point now, because Superman isn't campy you can say fundamentally there is no difference between Batman and Superman - they both operate outside of the jurisdiction of the law. Ironically they both hate each other for the same reason. They both think the other goes or can go too far without any restrictions, and that they are on the right side of it all...it's a beautiful lie they live in, thinking one is better than the other even though they are no different really. Batman views Superman as a world threat like a nuclear bomb with emotions, Superman sees Batman as an insane criminal no different than the joker. That's my point, that's the beauty of it - of a movie allowing you to consider it as it happens or even after. You see the film in a new light or get this sensation that I can't really explain. For instance one of my favorite movies of all time is Blade Runner, I didn't like it viewing it the first time around as much as I did the second after I had time to think about it. I do agree that some stuff may not be as clear for the casual moviegoer and that execution was poor in some areas however.

This video was so on point that Zack just announced he would be adapting The Fountainhead!

so late to the party but this is magnificent stuff.

I personally have a soft spot for this movie. I loved how they built up to the fight. It's just the reasoning of the fight and the extra fight shoved in at the end that sucked. This really should have bee two movies. As for them being too similar, sometimes fights happen BECAUSE two people are too similar and don't realize it. Though the nuances in belief are different, the cores are the same. They see each other as corrupted versions of themselves, which adds to the anger.

Batman didnr brand them so they wud be killed in prison.If u paid attention in the ultimate cut,It was lex who hired a guy to kill that dude in prison to make it look like Batman orchestrated that.

@@ebbystein7577 there's a scene in the movie where Alfred confronts batman about him branding criminals and those branded criminals beung killed in prison, and batman just replied with "we're criminals Alfred, we've always been". Zack Snyder confirmed to the press that his batman doesn't care if they get killed, he'll still brand them and send them to their certain death cuz he thinks their blood is not on his hands. Batman didn't hire the killers, but he's still making a conscious decision to send these people to their deaths, even Zack Snyder agrees with this.

He only said Batman kills were by proxy.

Great analysis! It helped to clarify the main points that Snyder tried to show in this movie.

I just can't accept the world's greatest detective would see a message from Aliens threatening to destroy the World, find out that Superman saved the world and killed one of his own people to save humans, research him for 18 months using his powers to save people and not abuse them to get rich or get girls etc; then conclude that he must die because he has a bad dream. LOL the only people batman knows that behave like that are his villains, and just in case the world's greatest detective is too emotional to see it, he has Alfred pointing it out to him, yet he still acts on his delusions and ignores facts.Other Superhero movies I enjoyed more when they keep reminding me through actions what I love about the character, but this movie didn't feel like the Batman and Superman I enjoyed reading in comics over the last few decades.

I don't think this film even get's batman correctly (apart from appearence), it takes away his objectivism and causes him to act irationaally.

THANK YOU!

Thanks Wisecrack for helping me understand the underlying ideologies between these contrasting heroes and why the resultant conflict was overly watered down. I guess for me the movie also couldnt decide on what it wanted to be, and ended up deciding to be just a compilation of everything: as a prelude to their franchise, to get batman and superman to work together and to have a self less sacrificial ending in the end. But to me all of these points came too easy and there wasnt any depth as to why they did what they did, just a convenient solution to any plot hole that they faced
