#BvS SPOILER THREAD

Would you compare that scene to the panel from Crisis on Infinite Earths, where Batman sees Flash warning him about the Anti-Monitor and the merging of Earths 1 and 2?

Indeed I would, sir.

my goodness did they ever enjoy torturing superman in this one

I can't say I've ever seen a film like this where literally the last second was important. It seems as though the easter egg from man of steel of a wayne enterprises tower getting destroyed was turned into a plot point in this one.

I was initially worried that it was too soon for Wonder Woman but she really takes a back seat and didn't feel forced into the film

This deleted scene was posted by WB and it's...weird, like a lot of Lex's scenes.

Who is that with Lex? People are saying it's either Steppenwolf or Yuga Khan (both part of Darkseid's world).

I recognized the actor from Smallville and honestly thought, when the terrorists found the tracker, that they were doing a "realistic" version of Jimmy's signal watch from the comics and Superman would arrive at any second, after he told Lois not to worry. Instead...

Since the scene that actually identified him as Jimmy was cut and the actor they chose for the role is relatively unknown, the end result to Snyder's "Psycho" idea is just...really odd.

I first thought that "Jimmy Olsen" was a made-up name that the CIA agent took up as a disguise. I didn't realize this was Jimmy for real! It's definitely bizarre.

I'm seeing people on Superhero Hype complaining passionately about this and call it an insult to the Superman mythos. What do other Superman fans feel about this?

[BatmAngelus]

To be fair, the character isn't identified as Jimmy in the scene and you can just read him as a random undercover CIA agent, so you can easily ignore it. (It doesn't help make the Africa scenes any better, but that's a whole other issue...)

If we're talking about adapting Superman's supporting cast, I felt what happened to Mercy was worse. Unlike Jimmy, she's identified by name onscreen. She barely says anything. There's very little of her dynamic with Luthor explored. (And hell, the comics implied Mercy was an Amazon and you have the most famous DC Amazon in the same film...potential missed opportunity there for either this or a future film) And then she's just killed off in the bombing 'cause...I don't know, Lex maybe didn't trust her enough to keep his plans secret? Maybe it'll be explained in the director's cut.

I'm fine with Michael Cassidy playing an undercover CIA agent who gets Lois in trouble and gets killed. I'm fine with Lex having a forgettable assistant character and sacrificing her in his schemes. But if you're gonna say they're Jimmy Olsen and Mercy Graves, then do something with them. Otherwise, why bother putting them in at all?

Yea Mercy being killed off annoyed me too. I think it was meant to establish what a bastard he is but we didn't have time to get attached to the character. She wasn't the badass I loved from the Superman cartoon, just eye candy (which yes, Kitty wanted a taste...). Way underused, so yea. I get what you mean.

See, look. I found a complaint with the movie, I'm not a f***ing sheep blindly following DC which is the popular thing to call people who loved this movie by those who didn't. Y'all know I beat to my own drummer, I think most or all of the people here who liked the movie do, so that is a ridiculous tag to put on people but in this day and age that's what you do when someone likes something you don't. Ugh. Society sucks.

Ok, rant over.

That's.....interesting. lol

A heartfelt review on the film from documentary filmmaker Brett Culp, bringing a perspective about how the film is about Superman inspiring Batman to become a hero again and Batman's evolution inspiring Superman that he still matters and how these heroes represent today's society.

Yea Mercy being killed off annoyed me too.

There's a scene where Bruce wakes up in his lakeside glasshouse, and there's a woman beside him. Could've that been Mercy?

That was before the bombing though. Right after that was when he told Alfred he'd been scanning the Russian dude's phone and thought Lex Luthor was the "White Portuguese" which we find out later was a boat. Mercy was definitely in the Capitol, she looks around for him, then a few seconds later BOOM. And we don't see her again which sucks cause like I said, Kitty was appetized by the eye candy...lol
