Dear DC,

[Canadamus Prime]

Dear DC,
Can we please get an animated movie, or indeed any movie, that doesn't involve Batman. I know he's really popular right now an therefor profitable, but we've had more than enough Batman movies. Give your other heroes a chance. Don't get me wrong, I like Batman, it's just I've gotten kinda burned out on Batman. Maybe we could get something with the Teen Titans like was teased at the end of Justice League vs. The Teen Titans.

Sincerely,
CP

Like "The Judas Contract" movie, which just came out?

I think someone else mentioned that that had come out. I'll have to check that out.

I think my favourite thing about the scene in Africa is that the warlords men were clearly shot by bullets, bullets it later turned out were being solely developed by Lex Corp according to the goddamn CIA, and yet Superman still gets the blame for it.
Or, you know, that they decided to just kill off Jimmy Olsen just cause.

I got the impression that they weren't so much blaming Superman for the deaths at the compound but were holding him responsible for the massacres that followed after Superman destabilized the region. Remember, the lady that testified against Superman (paid off by Luthor) said that the military/government came in and showed 'no mercy'.

It's been a while since I've seen the movie so maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't they have to prove that he killed those people to prove he destabilised the region? Or did he do something else?

Oh, in the extended edition it shows KGBeast (Luthor's head henchperson, he's never called that in the film) burning all the corpses with a flamethrower to make it look like they were killed with heat vision.

The super-distinctive Lexcorp bullet thing makes no sense, though. It was like they needed a clue for Lois Lane to follow to tie it to Lexcorp, but in the end Lex just kidnaps her right as she's figuring it out, so it was kind of pointless anyway. And it makes Lex look dumb, because he uses distinctive Lexcorp bullets to frame Superman.

It would've made more sense if Lex had used some plot device bullet that's designed to disintegrate or explode when it hits a target - so that it's slightly more plausible to accuse Superman of killing the people in Africa, since there'd be no bullets in the bodies - and she picks up an un-disintegrated round that got lodged in her notebook and later ties it to Lexcorp, who designed this weird leaves-no-evidence bullet.

One other idea I had was that the bullets were made out of Kryptonian metals and designed to hurt or kill Superman, and Luthor used them because he knew that then the US military wouldn't investigate too closely because they didn't want to publicly admit that they hired Lexcorp to design anti-Superman bullets. But again, none of this is in the film, and it suffers for it.

Or maybe they could have Luthor make some early form of his battle suit. Have it be strong enough to mimic Superman's strength with some form of heat ray. It'd make sense for people to blame it on supes and then that could be the showdown instead of Luthor creating Doomsday he can't control and isn't shown to have a plan to deal with.

Could have had Lex hack the Bat computers and steal Bruce's battlesuit plans, enhancing them with his superior technology and merging it with the Kryptonian tech he stole from the ship. Having that as the reason he wanted the ship and not because he needed Zod's body. Would explain him knowing Bruce's secret identity too, since I think people keep forgetting that he knows who Batman is.
