Damnit Zack Snyder

[Xman490]

It fits in with this theory: http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-creepy-message-hiding-in-batman-v.-superman

And by that, I mean it's Machiavellian enough to tick me off.

Surely this isn't the first time the idea has come up.

Hell, it instantly reminded me of this [http://www.doesnotplaywellwithothers.com/comic/pwc-0214].

As powerful as he is, he's just 1 guy.
He can't handle everything everywhere even if he wanted to (for example, I'm sure that while he was saving that rocket, someone somewhere was getting shot in some dark alley).
It was established in MoS that listening to everything is painful for Clark so he learns to block it out in order to be able to live a normal life (the "Pretend it's an island" scene).
Superman values Lois over other people so when she's in trouble, he's going to concentrate on her and her alone.

Can we all agree that Zack's Superman is no where near as bad a portrayal of Superman then Superman At Earth's End?

Or the Superman in Justice League Act of God?

Yes, that is a worse Superman. But that one doesn't bother me because it is an Elseworlds book, whereas Synder's Superman is the real deal so far as the movie universe is concerned.

What do you mean, "real deal"? The film takes liberties with Superman just as much as Earth's End does.

Oh I absolutely agree, and I'm sorry if I made it unclear. What I mean is that in DC comics you have your main reality (I believe it's Earth-0, but they're constantly screwing with that stuff) in which the "real" versions of the heroes we know and love exist. And then you have the multiple Elseworlds where you have all of the alternate versions, where it doesn't really bother me if they screw with the heroes, because we still have the "real" heroes in Earth-0.

Now as far as the movies go, the one where Man of Steel and Batman v Superman takes place in the main reality (for now anyways) so when they make such egregious changes the to heroes it's not just some Elseworlds story. This is supposed to be our main "real" heroes.

They should have kept that scene in, would show how conflicted he is. He has a choice of finding his mum or saving people. It would also give a reason why he goes to Batman for help instead of beating Bats ass in a second.

 

[Objectable]

Hey Zack? If you don't put something in the movie, now try to keep up cause it's very important...

It's not in the movie. And as such, it doesn't FUCKING YOU IDIOT.

 

[Saltyk]

Hey. He touched on something I just said last night. Why didn't Batman just shoot the guy in the head? I mean he killed him either way, but shooting the tank also meant he endangered Superman's mom. So, now I know he didn't do that because stupid. Great!

God, I hate this movie. With it's 17 dream sequences, pointless Lois Lane, pointless Wonder Woman, terribly forced Justice League cameos, idiotic plot, convoluted motivations, characters that do things because the script says they do, the insane body count of both Batman and Superman who both actively killed people in this movie, terrible lines, jar of Luthor's piss, movie actively flipping you off with scenes like shaving Luthor's head, that snot in Luthor's nose, "ding ding ding", and a hundred other issues.

Superman: "Is she with you?"
Batman: "I thought she was with you..."
Batman, she's with you. You know her. You've talked to her. She stole your hacking tool. You talked to her in a museum. You emailed her. Remember the picture? What the Hell are you talking about?

It's also nice how Superman never says one word to wonder woman. Not ONE. He instead chooses to talk to Batman about her like she's not even there. Good directing.

Well you can't let her think she's people! lol Just kidding. In all honestly it's just another sign of incompetence, not sexism.
