    I actually don't mind Martha's look before she gets shot. She's not a trained fighter. Just like anyone, she'd be scared at that moment, it makes her more real. The fact she even goes for it to protect her son, makes her a natural fighter, and it's a good inspiration for Bruce to see both his parents giving it their all, despite not really knowing what to do. He was a natural fighter as well, he just spent his entire life training to become the machine he becomes later. Not a bad thing, I'd actually probably be more put off if she was entirely fearless as she was about to get gunned down, because even if she was not afraid to die (like most people would), any loving parent would be afraid that after they go down, the child is next and unprotected. If she looked unafraid, it would mean that she didn't much care for her son. It's also a nice progression. Thomas goes all out first, attempting to save his wife and son, showing he values them more than his personal well being. Martha goes next, but when she's about to go as well, that's where the realization that there is no one left afterwards to protect Bruce sets in.

    Cinematography is one of the things I don't really care about in films but BvS or Zack's previous works in general woke me up to the beautiful and engaging scenes like the Knightmare scene, The God vs Man fight and etc and made care about cinematography and speaks interests in filmmaking, I really don't understand people who complain about the age old argument of "Style over substance". Personally don't understand people these days with big budget blockbusters like Marvel (sorry to start a war or comparing them) but Marvel sometimes lacks in cinematography and thinks putting bright neon colors on the sliver screen will draw an huge audience. It just was not memorable for my taste, I loved how Zack uses the cinematography in a way to embrace the already engaging story.

I watched BvS and Man of Steel in Imax theater, and boy was i breathtaken by both films. I have watched both movies several times over other superhero movies, and i still can't get enough of it.

It's awesome how you can make a whole detailed video series about the positive aspects of this film, while haters/critics tend to just circle back to the same 2 or 3 arguments as to why it"sucks". I think most people who claim to dislike the movie are just influenced by the crowd and the critical reception. From a purely artistic and cinematic standpoint, this film is gold. I know that art is up to interpretation, so of course not everyone has to love it, but people are so close-minded to the idea of this film being good, simply because they hopped on the "Hate BvS" bandwagon, and now they refuse to consider enjoying the movie.

    (Part of an essay I've been working on about fathers and sons) It's interesting too how Lex's father's fist = abuse Bruce's father's fists = protection With Batman, the film explored the character’s damaged psychology by taking him to his darkest place so that he can confront his trauma and heal from it. As a child, at his parents’ funeral, Bruce Wayne is shown fallen into darkness and rescued by the Batman persona. Batman’s mask is a false salvation (“a beautiful lie”) that can never save him from his sorrow, putting on the mask is an addiction and escape. Bruce is consumed in fear, pain and anger and he intends to stay that way, personified through the display of his second “biggest failure” (his dead adopted son’s uniform) so he will always see it. Bruce’s dream at his mother's grave conveys his mindset: Bruce is struggling between himself and The Bat; it is shown breaking through the grave trying to take over. In his loss of himself, Batman no longer views criminals as human, taking to branding them like animals (this also harkens back to The Mark of Zorro, a character who inspired Batman for Bruce and also left his mark at the scene). After his childhood fall, Bruce grows up fighting against the feeling of powerlessness and gaining power - corporate power, physical power and the power to terrorize the criminals of Gotham - the “power” as Henry Cavill puts it, “to inflict justice”. Bruce thought he was going to change his exterior world by stopping criminals, but ultimately sees little fruit to his labor and feels his actions don’t have lasting impact. It is his interior world that needs to change. Thematically, the only lesson imparted by Thomas Wayne is the attempted intervention in his mugging. This model of intervention is what Bruce has modeled himself after. When he sees Superman and Zod fighting, he sees the ultimate criminal, which without his intervention could result in creating more orphans. Bruce is unwilling to accept his relative powerlessness next to Superman, which would be like accepting the death of his parents, something he’s not ready to do. Bruce convinces himself he will show Batman’s worth and honor his father’s name by killing Superman. He rationalizes this by twisting his father’s story about his lineage “they were hunters”, characterizing his dehumanization of Superman. Superman is Batman’s “white whale”: an all-powerful animal, which if left unchecked, could wipe out the entire human race. One of the main difficulties audiences had trouble understanding was the climax of Batman’s journey. Knowing that Clark knew Bruce was Batman; he probably did some background on him and was aware of what the name Martha meant to him. Saying the name out loud in the way he did: "Save Martha", wasn't coincidental. Superman says “you're letting him kill Martha”, further complicating Bruce’s conflict. This caused Batman to pause and process a lot of different things: the fact that he’s standing over someone about to kill them, that Superman is bleeding (so he does bleed), remembering his parents death, realizing his mother could not have been saved, with or without his father’s intervention, realizing that he would be making Superman an orphan - all of this dominoes in this moment. He starts to see his own father in Superman, but when Lois arrives and clarifies “it’s his mother’s name”, Bruce not only sees his father in Superman, he sees himself. Bruce finally realized he was in this vengeful, tunnel vision, has had the whole situation backwards and had become the thing he was originally fighting against. He breaks free from the shadow of his father and goes on the path to redemption. Resolving the fight, Bruce makes Clark a promise (something he previously said were useless), “I promise Martha won’t die tonight”. In saving Martha Kent, he is able to free himself of the demons that have haunted and driven him since childhood. He is also being given a chance to show the development of his skills and his work as Batman does have value. After the battle with Doomsday, Batman is visually shown stepping out into the light, signifying he is now gradually coming out of his hole and on his way to redemption. Bruce has been cynical about humanity since the death of his parents, but he now has a renewed hope, affirming at Clark’s funeral that “men are still good”. The guilt Bruce felt in not being able to help his parents as a child, he now feels for Superman: his death possibly being preventable, had he sorted himself out earlier. "I failed him in life; I won’t fail him in death.” This is how he will honor Superman’s memory, by rising to higher standards. That admission is the first of many indications at the end of the film that Bruce has made a profound character change and no longer believes hope and heroism are a beautiful lie. He is now dealing with failure is a much healthier way, recognizing it and dealing with it productively. The film ends and begins with beautiful symmetry - opening with the Waynes’ death and ending with the death of Superman: two funerals that changed Bruce Wayne’s way of thinking.

    That scene showing Batman stealing the Kryptonite on the security cameras is actually a quite important scene if you look at it as a motif. Batman in the beginning of BvS is always introduced above criminals when fighting them until he swoops down to confront them. This symbolizes his fall into the darkness and shows that he’s not any better than his foes. Once he has a change of heart after realizing that he’s not much different from Clark, he goes to the warehouse to save Martha. Instead of breaking in to the same floor as Lex’s henchmen, he takes the bottom floor and breaks through to the top, thus symbolizing his rise from the darkness into the light. It’s all a recap of the beginning scene where young Bruce Wayne falls into the hole and the bats take him back up.

    The opening sequence is a play on the ending sequence. Bruce's parents are "Batman" & "Wonder Woman" saving their "son". They both die trying to stop the "monster" but save the son. Wonder Woman & Batman in the third act try to save the "son" but fail and stop the monster. This is why the conversation they have at the funeral is so important. The "parents" must avenge the "son's" death. But is the son even dead? ;) "Don't believe everything you read, son." - Bruce to Clark. Bruce falls into the hole at the funeral, Clark is buried in a hole at the end but "rises". Two sides of same coin. kzread.info/dash/bejne/jKuO1biigrLLfMo.html

    Treveasy the giant It certainly seems that way on the surface I admit but as BVS taught us nothing is as it seems, JL is actually every bit as deep as the previous 2. For example Bruce's arc at it's core is about the line between true faith and fanaticism. Bruce treats Clark like a god he worships he's intolerant to anyone not living up to Superman, his entire conflict with Diana is him trying to force her to be the symbol he believes she should be. He places him above literally everyone. He is absolutely outraged when Diana suggests he isn't doing this out of his faith in Clark but rather guilt, and attacks her in a very personal way and is planning to commit suicide for his cause to martyr himself for Diana insuring his belief continues, which is the true purpose of the shoulder fixing scene, he's making Diana admit her guilt so he can martyr himself and put the same guilt he feels on Diana's shoulders insuring his Superman religion and cult (because that's what it pretty much is) continues. There's also Snyder's signature symmetry Bruce represents the side that fears Superman in BVS while he represents the side that sees him as a Christ figure in JL, this subtly continues the Superman debate from BVS. Another example is Bruce bringing back Clark in the same way Lex brought back Zod. Clark than goes to the monument where he battles the league much like Superman battled Doomsday. Doomsday bashes Superman with the names of the dead, while in JL Superman himself is the one destroying the names of the dead, symbolizing how Bruce very nearly destroyed that which inspired and gave him hope. Superman floating up to Batman mirrors him slowly approaching him in the nightmare, symbolizing that it's Bruce's own fear and paranoia that turns Superman evil, Bruce is the one he's right about, Bruce is the one to fear. I don't want to drag this on too long but those are some of the moments with Snyder's signature symmetry and symbolism, there is far more to JL than it appears.

    Ive thought about it. I think the idea behind them might stem from what the movie tries to achieve by the end. Throughout Man of Steel, we get a lot of references to the godlike nature and divinity of Superman and people constantly viewing his work as some holy intervention which are themes that leak over into BvS. In a huge part of BvS we see a Superman who has so many ideals placed on him, one of which is his Saviour nature, as he does unhuman things and the public impression of him is of a being of that who doesn't walk among us, gods among men. I love the way the visuals assist in telling the story of the struggle between reconciling the very human hearted part of Clark and his almost divine abilities. One of my favourite shots which link to this is the arctic scene where we start at superman feet as hes just walking in the snow showing him as a normal person but then by the end of the camera movement, we see he is pulling a ship which jars us back into the fact that he is almost unreal. A lot of the movie is spent showing Supermans story through flight; when he gets detached from people, he flies away and vice versa as a visual metaphor for him. The resolution of the struggle of superman being God or man I think is done beautifully when we see Superman as he flies to doomsday weakened by the Kryptonite spear after just being on his KNEES talking to Lois, this to tell us that he is a powerful but determined person that can be weakened like any of us but his weaknesses doesn't stop him from trying his best to do whats right.

    I think this movie is accurate...not only to comic book world but to our world too...fans were divided upon seeing this version of superman on screen...some hated him just like Bruce hates him for causing so much destruction and death in mos...while many others love him just like I do because they know that if it wasn't for him, this world would have been destroyed....fans were divided to see this version of batman because he is brutal and violent, some fans hated this version because he is responsible for at least 10 deaths in this movie, some fans cannot root for this batman because of the same reason, some fans thought this version of batman was not a good guy, just like Clark did...this movie portrayed a Bruce Wayne who is not batman anymore and a Clark Kent who is not superman yet...Clark is confused, because in that world the law is helping a murderous man who dresses up as a bat and is hating a guy who is just trying to do the right thing...they have lost hope...but superman still chooses to die for this world than to watch it burn...this changes Bruce...the whole point of this movie was to show that men are still good.....but people hate what they don't understand

    27:35 he has those planets on his ceiling because as a child he knew he wasn't from Earth and he was always curious about where he had come from. I can 100% see him falling asleep almost every night staring up at those planets, which, to me, adds to the emotion of the scene because he did find out who he was, where he was from, and also in the process he found Lois, who was his world. If it was indeed Lois who he said was his world and not his mother ("Marrthah"). Which would be another reason Batman wanted to save Martha, to prevent the Knightmare from coming to fruition, adding to the many layers of each sequence in this film.

It requires a certain amount of gal to stare oblivion in the face while being mortally terrified. Just my thought. I found this addition in the ultimate cut icing on top of a delicious cake.

    This is great! Something I keep saying is that people are ignorant to the detail of Snyder’s shots. All of his shots look like panels from comic books, but they are also reenforced by the cuts. The scenes and shots in them cut together like we’re going from panel to panel. That’s something Josstice League lacked. They used so many CGI camera moves that everything felt unnatural. As for non fight scenes, the editing was a mess because of them forcing the reshot jokes into scenes like they shot a few and picked and chose which jokes to use. I’m excited for Zack Snyder’s version because the cinematography and editing will be more cohesive to it’s two predecessors.

They didn’t have to make that UC Agent anybody, but they decided to make his alias Jimmy. Also, his death had more impact that way.
