Imagine watching _'Man of Steel', 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' (Ultimate Edition),_ then _'Zack Snyder’s Justice League',_ all back-to-back (which I often do)… *9 hrs & 27 mins* of some of the best cinematic *Superhero* goodness that the world has ever seen! 🥰❤️

Would rather watch through BTAS and STAS and get a better depiction of both Batman and Superman. These films just lack so much of the charm and personality of the comics. Zack's take on these characters is not for me personally but more power to you I guess.

[@NostalgiaBrit]

Man of steel, BvS Ultimate and ZS justice league is my favorite superhero trilogy ever. Lots of plot, great casting, and very distinct characters with opposing ideologies able to still come together for the greater good. And of course visually stunning. Snyder knows how to get every dollar up on the screen.

[@granadosvm]

When I saw the movie teaser of this film, as soon as I saw the monster (Doomsday) I knew Superman died at the end. It is based on the comic series "The death of Superman" from the 90's, so the ending was easier to digest.

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

19:24 Previously.... There's a biographical drama movie about "Superman" actor George Reeves starring Ben Affleck. The actress who you now see playing "Martha Kent" plays George's love interest in that movie! Ben also played the second live-action "Daredevil" and one of his nicknames is "Red Batman"! So Ben's score is: 1 "Marvel" 2 "DC"! Jennifer Garner is the first live-action "Elektra" in both that "Daredevil" movie her own movie. But before she and Ben played lovers in that "Marvel" movie, they played in the movie "Pearl Harbor" but not as lovers then. She's an Army nurse, and he's an Army pilot. At the time, though, I was confused! I conflated Jennifer with being Kate Beckinsale! 😁 Side Note: Before Sally Field and Tom Hanks played, mother and son in "Forrest Gump" they co-starred as comedy club peers and lovers!

[@I.am.Iain-81]

I love this movie!! Ben Affleck did an amazing job playing an older Bruce/ Batman!! The woman is Gail Gadot aka Wonder Woman, the others featured in Bruce's research are The Flash, Aquaman & Cyborg who are the other members of the Justice League.

I am a big Christopher Reeve Superman fan, the Superman animated series helped redefine Superman with the voice of Tim Daily from Wings as the character and Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor. Dana Delaney voiced Lois. It was an excellent series. Portrayed a many great Superman villains like Brainac, Metallo, Bizzaro, and Parasite. All were done in awesome ways.

"Maybe she's Catwoman." I remember that Gal Gadot said that when she auditioned for Wonder Woman it was secretive and she thought it WAS for Catwoman at first.

[@enndo84]

WW I love Wonder Woman! "She with you?" "I thought she was with you" was my favorite part

[@jenmurrayxo]

😂👍 So good!

[@Bobby_Go]

My biggest gripe with this movie was Bruce's motivation for fighting Superman. He was way too determined to flat out kill Supes just because he might possibly could maybe one day conceivably be a potential threat. Like what?! It would have been way more Batman of him to just plan the fight out as a warning to Superman. Let him know that he's not beyond consequences and maybe bluff that he has a whole league of people that can also keep him in line if need be. The rest of the movie would have made just as much sense without Bruce going psycho.

[@k.delpino1124]

But that's the point. More than his war on crime, Bruce is losing his soul. As an human being on his path, he could care less about holding back. Supes' tries to stand for Hope. Bruce just needs to believe in Hope again.

[@Bobby_Go]

@@k.delpino1124 Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a darker Batman who's losing his soul and takes things too far. I just wish it had been more nuanced. It's so jarring to see Bruce go from nearly completing a Superman killing mission to introducing himself as a friend of Martha's son at the snap of a finger (or the sputtering of his mommy's name). Allowing Bruce to have rational intentions that become overshadowed by his lack of a soul would have made that transition much more palatable.

[@terrylandess6072]

When the extended version gives important information which was cut from the theatrical release, one has to wonder who's making those decisions. I liked the shorter version well enough but it seemed 'off' and is probably why it didn't get great reviews. Then I saw this version and many things clicked - including the amount of studio interference. As for the reaction: Too much fun. It went to eleven when you proposed the 'pretty lady' was Catwoman. Now there was a palatable anticipation for the reveal.

[@k.delpino1124]

I saw this one twice in IMAX. A defining moment in the genre and this DC Extended Universe. The first time of these legendary heroes on screen together would definitely cause an effect on the world that they exist in. They are different in there paths of heroism. Appalled by each other's tactics in pursuit of justice. Both only trying to do the right thing to fight evil. Despite differences, they do work it out as The World's Finest. Cavill as Kent/Superman continues to humanize how much he's trying to make a difference without making mankind fear him. Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman aka The Tortured Veteran was very well played. Wayne as an human being, he certainly faced the worse, tried to hold steady and became as brutal as unimagined (controversial for most fans). But it proves that even the dark knight had a breaking point. I figured that WW was out there somewhere on the low. But curious to see how she would jump to action. Eisenberg as Lex Luthor was intriguing as it was disturbing. The scapegoat of his nature made him more dangerous as an genius. The drama, action, suspense and the reveals of whom/what would occur down the line was mind-blowing. Give credit where credit is due. Zack Snyder gave the goods.

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

0:36 A "Zorro" movie poster! In the comics Zorro and Batman teamed up! The Green Hornet wears the mask of The Lone Ranger as the former is a heir to the latter. Rutger Haur has a movie in which he plays a relative of The Green Hornet. The office comedy series "Powerless" is about Bruce Wayne's cousin. 😊 The Shadow & Batman, met in the comics. In 1994 actor Alec Baldwin starred in "The Shadow" movie. 😎

[@TheHulk2008]

The best part was the DC Trinity. Now matter how people like or hate him can we just thank Zack Snyder for making this moment happen.

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

2:10 By the way! Because 9/11 really happened, the makers of every movie since then were able to make scenes like this more believable than ever before, when movie people only had WW2 destruction and natural disasters to work from. Seeing the lonely horse reminded me of that happening in NYC. 😢

[@MatthewStephensAU]

4:15 "Is Batman a Good Guy in this?" That's my entire problem with the Snyder-Verse. The top DC heroes are all killers. Batman, with everything else taken away, has a 'No Kill' Rule, and he's killing people all the time. Superman won his fight with Zod by snapping necks, and let his father die because he was taught to believe that his secret was more important than saving lives. I know they're impressive, popular films, but it's like they forgot what superheores were.

[@frankinthesnyderverse1488]

I'm glad you enjoyed this movie. This is my favorite comic book movie, and the trilogy of Man of Steel, Batman V Superman, and Zack Snyder's Justice League is my favorite trilogy. When you're ready to watch ZSJL, after watching Suicide Squad (2016) and Wonder Woman (2017), make sure you watch Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) which is the director's cut, and *not* Justice League (2017; because it is the worst abomination ever to be made). ZSJL is far superior in quality, provides rich backstory to new heroes and the villains are much more formidable. ZSJL is 4-hours long but it is split up into 7-"Parts" so you can split up your reaction videos to better fit your schedule and availability. When it comes to the death of Superman, it is a famous story in the comic books, written in the 90's. The director Zack Snyder chose to borrow elements of the Death of Superman comic because he wanted to present Superman going through a gauntlet of trials, like Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey, enduring through loss and gains, temptations and freedom, corruption and restoration, death and life - by going through all these various forms of tests, Kal-El gets to earn the title of "Superman". It is an approach that is based on the philosopher Joseph Campbell's theory of the Heroes Journey, which is the theory that the recipe for a successful superhero is captured by following the patterns of story arcs from classic mythology (Odysseus, Hercules, Jesus, King Arthur, etc.). Applying this character arc on Superman, based on old mythology, is an approach that flew over the heads of most nerds who were accustomed to the commercialized methods of Marvel films, hence the backlash to this movie and other Snyder films. Comic fans wanted instant gratification, they didn't want to wait to see Batman or Superman go through a gauntlet of trials like Campbell's Heroes Journey in order to arrive to their glory. But Campbell's method proves repeatedly that the cost is worth the reward, through other stories of modern mythology like Lord of the Rings and others. This intellectual approach to superheroes is what attracted me to Snyder's DC films in the first place, which is why i love it so much and i'm excited for you to see the third part of the story in Zack Snyder's Justice League once you're ready for it.

[@k.delpino1124]

Jen! It was so much fun when I realized you kept commenting on how pretty the lady was, not yet knowing who her alter ego was. In other words, you're watching these in the correct order so the identity of the woman wasn't spoiled because you watched another movie that came out later. Good job. You can watch that other movie ... later!!! :)

After a very long legal battle with DC, the surviving family members of Bill Finger finally won the credit in all future title to being co-creator of Batman. Batman v Superman is the first mainstream Batman property to bear the name of co creator Bill Finger along with Bob Kane.

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

1:47 "The Flash" movie gives us his perspective of the would-be Invasion scene seen here. 😊

[@FeaturingRob]

Superman's death in this film is based on the 'Death of Superman" comic from the early 1990s...it is slightly different, as the book was a huge crossover with just about every DC hero having an appearance. However, the basic enemy was the same...Doomsday. That is the creature's name and like the comic book...Doomsday fed on energy to get stronger. Definitely watch the Snyder Cut of 'Justice League'...which brings the heroes Barry Allan (aka The Flash), Arthur Curry (Aquaman), Diana Prince (Wonder Woman), Victor Stone (Cyborg...who was screaming in the crazy video clip), and Bruce Wayne (Batman) together. It is worth it! Also, 'Wonder Woman' is amazing...Gal Godot crushes the role. The movie has Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Robin Wright (Jenny from Forrest Gump), Connie Nielsen (from Gladiator), and David Thewlis (Remus Lupin from Harry Potter). You see Diana's origins, and it really is moving. 'Wonder Woman 1984' was fun, but not really super great. Still, it's worth a watch. 'Aquaman' gives Jason Momoa a big chance to shine. And the supporting cast of Nicole Kidman, Temeura Morrison (best known as Jango Fett/Clone Troopers for the Star Wars prequels, and Boba Fett in 'The Book of Boba Fett), Willem Dafoe, and Patrick Wilson. My only reservation about the film is unavoidable with Amber Heard as Mira...what with her and Johnny Depp's trial. It's a great film.

[@QuantumFlux_22]

There is only one reason ANYBODY hates this movie and it is simply because they cannot get out of their Marvel simple minded stories as the blueprint. This movie (the ultimate edition) has many layers to it and there are just some who it went right over their heads. It baffles me honestly how anyone could hate this as it all comes together masterfully. Zack Snyder's Justice League is a must watch as well. This movie and that one are up there in the ranks of Endgame for sure.

[@TheBlond49]

Best live action Batman, Affleck nailed it. That warehouse scene, perfection. Larry Fong's cinematography on point.

[@CaesiusX]

I imagine you've heard this here, but despite how I feel about these films overall, *Ben Affleck* is surprisingly my favorite *_Batman_* and possibly even *Bruce Wayne.* And people say that *_Batman_* doesn't kill. But he is almost 100 years old and as a result, he has not had a rule against killing about as often as he has had a rule about killing. It all depended on the writer. That said, saving *Martha* was easily my favorite *Zack Snyder* moment in the DCCU. And another note about this *_Batman_* killing… I like how he reached that point in this universe. It wasn't always his thing. *Edit:* Oh, and of course having *Jeremy Irons* as a former special services *Alfred* is fantastic IMO.

[@DankBlitzwing]

Chronologically, Suicide Squad (2016) came next. So make sure to watch the Extended Edition if that one before you go on to watch Wonder Woman.

[@SyzygyNoon]

This is going to sound weird, but I think we'd think each other into a stalemate. But what comes after that is an understanding that we're even enough that there's a balance. Neither of us turns up the toaster setting because we understand that it doesn't increase the heat, it just increases the time. Not everyone gets that.

The score is my favorite thing about this film. Hans and Junkie really made a unique score for each character. Lex Luthor's being my fav.

Loved it when Wonder Woman showed up and Superman says to Batman "Is she with you?" I got a movie suggestion for you it's one of my favorites. The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz.

[@constantdvdcollector]

'I hope nothing happens to Lois.' Oooh, boy. If Zack Snyder had made the original Justice League sequels he intended to, you would regret saying that statement. Big Time. BTW: Great reaction! In regards to your early questions about how in the world a normal human like Bruce Wayne can defeat Superman physically, well, he used Kryptonite but also he studied Clark/Superman via CCTV with the Batcomputer and knew how to respond to his methods of attack. This has happened before in the comics, especially Frank Miller's 'The Dark Knight Returns', where Bruce beat the ever-livin' shittake mushrooms out of Superman to nearly an inch of his life.

[@unintelligentlifeform7180]

Yes check out Wonder woman (but not 1984). Wonder woman was actually my favorite new dc hero film. I was never a wonder woman can growing up but that film changed my mind. It's good.

[@jimmy2k4o]

I’ve watched every bvs video I can find and you’re the first person to see the significance of what Lois figures at 13:00. If they know Lois and superman are a couple they learned that because they know Lois is dating a guy called Clark who bares a not hung if not interesting resemblance with the MoS. And once they suspect Clark they look intonhis background and find he was adopted by a couple in smallville, he was accused of pushing a bus from the river, and zod picked smallville as the sight of the first attack.

[@chuckiej]

WW is so great. They did a good job with this movie but it could have been better. The death of Superman was a big deal in the comics when I was a kid and you got to see all the DC universe characters come together to mourn and team up in different ways. Even new heroes like John Henry Irons appeared to take up the slack. The Martha moment works for me because how else could Superman tell Bats that he had a human upbringing in the middle of a crazy fight? It works.

[@danh8804]

Your watch order from here should be "Wonder Woman" -> "Aquaman" -> "Zack Snyder's Justice League" on HBO Max. Nobody telling you to react to 2017 Justice League is your friend.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

19:24 I want to point out what's _so_ impressive about this fight sequence. Usually, fight sequences make the protagonist look good by having him beat everyone he takes on hand to hand, but the scene is carefully set up so he only has to take them _on,_ one at a time. This scene has him taking them all on at _once._

[@rickmoreno7166]

This is high on the list of films vastly improved by a director's/extended cut. The theatrical cut of this movie made Batman look like a complete moron for not figuring out that Lex was behind things. The extended cut added a lot of the stuff that shows how Batman was fooled into thinking Superman was the bad guy. If you ever go back and watch the theatrical version, it's total garbage because of the cuts. Looking forward to a Wonder Woman reaction!

Seeing Jen get so excited during the final fight between the "Trio" and Doomsday just makes me so happy! I was one of the few that loved BvS back when it came out, and it was frustrating to see the critics and MCU fanboys shit all over it...

4:42 "The woman I love could've been blown up or shot." In the '90's, there was a Superman TV series called _Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman._ The first three seasons revolved around Clark doing what he could to keep his secret identity from Lois, but for the third-season-finale-fourth-season-premiere, Lois figured out his secret and it killed a source of tension that had been the lifeblood of the series. To keep it going, they really started to _reach_ with the fourth season. One episode had Lois travel to a parallel universe where her counterpart died before Clark moved to Metropolis. While this universe _had_ Clark, and he _was_ superhuman, it did not have _Superman._ In this canon, Clark improvised the Superman persona so he could regularly charge to Lois' rescue. But because she died in this timeline before they met, that ended up not happening. The absence of Superman was caused by the absence of _Lois;_ not the absence of _Clark._

Hey Jen when u get to Zack Snyders justice league here is some info. u have to remember that Zack & Debra left when the project when they were 6 months into full post production due to their daughter Autumn committing suicide. Then the studio came & reshot 80-90% of Zack’s footage of a 2hr film!!! When it was released the fans knew & the #releasethesnydercut campaign started. It took 2.5 years but we got it released & have now raised over 1 million for AFSP. They Snyder cut has 3.5 hours of new footage compared to the original theatrical release. Zack only filmed one small scene in 2020. All the rest was filmed in 2016.

[@michaelash8552]

Next up in this series is Wonder Woman then Zack Snyder's Justice League. Zack was the director of this movie and Man of Steel. There is a lot of drama behind the scenes involving Zack and the movie studio that I won't bore you with unless you really want to know. Don't get intimidated by the 4hour runtime of ZSJL, It's broken into chapters with hard breaks if one sitting is too much. Some comic book background on the inspirations for this movie In 1985 there was a very popular comic book called "The Dark Knight Returns" the fight scene in this movie was inspired by that story, as was the suit Batman wears. I won't go into any more detail because there is are two animated movies of this story you could react to :The Dark Knight Returns (Parts 1 & 2) Second Superman dying was inspired by "The Death of Superman" story arc that happen in the comics in1992. This is where the character Doomsday first appears. The are also animated movies of this story. One really bad one called "Doomsday" and a much better told version call "The Death of Superman" However that movie and the follow up film are part of a series of connected universe animated films that establish a more recent (2011) version of the DC universe so there are changes from the comic book version and this movie is near the end of that series ("The New 52" animated movies). Though all those movies are pretty good IMHO. The character you didn't know is incorporated into the Justice League in those movies (and the comics they are based on) Though originally in the comics he was part of another Super team called "The Teen Titans".

I was worried how Ben would be as batman, but I think he did a good job playing an older , more cynical batman. And I enjoyed how they showed that Batman planned everything out with superman because he studied superman...And yes Jen...In the comics Batman does indeed beat superman. Batman has a plan for every meta human/villian/super hero if they turn bad. He has a way to kill them all. he is the world's best detective after all. If Batman went evil...it would take the entire justice league to take him down. And I would say Batman takes a few with him before he is done lol.

[@JedHead77]

Yes, she is the voice of Elastigirl in The Incredibles!

[@waynezimmerman1950]

Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman saved Batman VS Superman. Grew up with the first TV version of WW; Cathy Lee Crosby, followed by the more iconic Linda Carter; who later as the Principal in Sky High would poke fun at herself. And absolutely you should watch Gal in Wonder Woman.

Just getting back home here in "Mali! Let's gooooo! Thanks "Jen for watching this.💫☝🏼

[@TerminatorJuice]

Can't believe it's been almost 2 years since this reaction! I just rewatched this movie for the first time since before this reaction, and I think I like it more now than I did when it came out in 2015! This film was ahead of its time, and most of its criticisms came during an era when everybody was in love with the MCU, and every movie "needed" to be funny and quippy, or else it was criticized by the masses... Such a shame.

When the senator was talking to lex Luthor she said about the kryptonite you can sugar coat it but if you gave me a jar of piss and call it granny’s peach tea I wouldn’t drink it. At the hearing was a jar with the label of granny’s peach tea. Lex luthor gave her piss.

[@k.delpino1124]

Too late to realize the real threat and I hated that.

[@ronbeekiii781]

For me, the reason this movie got so much hate was studio-related. Zack Snyder really needs extra time to tell his stories. All of his movies that have extended cuts are so much better than the theatrical. When I saw the original cut of this I was completely bewildered- to the point I went back a few times to see if maybe I was missing something. Indeed, I was- about 30 minutes of film that contextualizes all of the characters motivations and actions. Probably one of the best examples of what not to cut. Still not a fan of Bats killing random thugs, but overall this ultimate edition clears up 98% of the issues I had with the theatrical.

[@mr.mojorisin1616]

You've got to watch Zack Snyder's Justice League to finish this one up! But yes, watch the first Wonder Woman movie to get the back story on her. Great movies all around. The Zack Snyder Justice League movie is a long watch though (4 hours) so get a big bucket of popcorn for that long haul!

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

2.4K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! ☺️ Notes: As you know by now, that casket scene was very misleading no matter which follow-up movie you saw! I enjoyed your animation inserts! 😊 😎

[@steves2241]

Hey Jen, love how you react to the movies, it's funny, and you do not pause the movies to talk, I hate that, it's annoying when the other reaction people do that. And btw, I am with you, I think Henry was a great Superman, and I also do not understand why they do not want to keep using him in the future Superman movies, it seems stupid to me. Unless they think he wants too much money to do more of them, it's still a dumb idea to replace him. I also think Ben Affleck was great as Batman, I did not like Robert Pattinson at Batman, he did not fit the part. And I hated Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, he was way too young, in the comic books and the other movies Lex was much older, so it's strange to me to see such a young Lex Luther. Wonder Woman was ok, but it's not my thing. I do not think she should have her own movie, they should use her in other superhero movies, not give her a movie of her own. I only want to see Superman, Batman, Spiderman, and maybe the hulk movies, as far as one superhero movies. I like the Avengers, etc. but the main three are Superman, Batman, and Spiderman. I also do not really like Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, she does not fit the part in my opinion.

[@MrHale]

I think most of the hate comes from the theatrical cut being pretty incoherent and messy. Ultimate Edition is liked way more because it gives you 30 minutes extra footage that makes the movie make more sense. And like others have said, I hope we will see Snyder's Justice League which is his true vision of the movie. The Justice League that was released on theaters wasn't it. Other DCEU movies that are good include Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam. Then there's real stinkers like Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey and Wonder Woman 1984, movies that are pretty much only hated. Suicide Squad so much that few years later they totally remade the movie and called it "The Suicide Squad" with some old characters played by the same people. The Suicide Squad later gave us Peacemaker spin-off show. And now there's Black Adam, which was released after James Gunn become DCEU's Kevin Feige and not long after James Gunn announced that DCEU is dead and they will start from scratch.

[@g3o5d]

The 4 hr Justice League is A MUST. Please watch all 4 hours. Another Fantastic Reaction. Luv u Jen.

[@kathk94]

don't worry Jen, you'll love all 4 hours of zack snyder's justice league! Glad you liked this ultimate edition, it was epic storytelling & very thought-out in how to put the titular characters against each other.

[@JM-fi6ce]

this is the way.

[@kathk94]

@Dayspring you're entitled to your opinion & I'm entitled to mine. I stand by everything I put in my original comment. It's fine if you don't like Snyder or his films, but there are people out there like myself who do appreciate them. This isn't the version that was released theatrically so you can't put the blame on an extended cut just to make up points as to why you think it sucks. That just makes your argument look weak. If you didn't notice how well done this version was then I don't know what to tell you. The Martha scene wasn't because their moms have the same name, it was a trigger for Clark to snap Bruce out of whatever he's become & realize that Clark is more human than he thinks. It's understandable that the execution could've been better. ZSJL is the name of his version of the film, not the theatrical one. If I have to explain that then there's really no hope for you understanding things. I thought there was faith & respect in the characters & I grew up with the justice league animated series. I like the dark/realistic tone of the films & it's fine if you don't.

[@jimmywalker4884]

In 1992 the Superman comic books sales were on the decline, so DC comic decided to do the "Death of Superman" story line. 1986 Frank Miller (300 and Sin City) wrote a mini-series that change Batmen into the superhero what is popular today, "The dark knight returns" tell a story about Batman at age 55. As the series is told Batman faces off against Superman. So, in this movie took each pf the main characters biggest comics stories and combine them together and changed a lot of the baes material.

[@box1877]

How much does superman still have over bats Total Gross sell today? Honestly asking

Comic books only I meant? Im sorry was just curious because we the man still up top

[@jimmywalker4884]

I honestly could not tell you anything about today's comic industry. I stopped collecting twenty years ago.

[@volourn9764]

They rushed to Sm's death. That should have been saved after a few JL films. These Snyder films are so underrated. Wish we got more.

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

Watch each version! It's a Multiverse Experience! 🧐😎

[@PaperbackWizard]

This is still one of my favorite comic book movies ever. As far as I'm concerned, it's practically perfect. A lot of the questions you have about it are answered in "Zack Snyder's Justice League" (never watch the theatrical Justice League movie). Definitely watch "Wonder Woman" first, though, because it not only gives her origin story but also a few important details for ZSJL.

[@p.mc.4449]

Bruce Wayne's dad is in a movie I hope you watch, called The Watchmen.

[@drb6771]

YES WW!!! WW and Aquaman are really good. At what point did you realize that was Wonder Woman? 💕💕❤❤🥰🥰

[@jenmurrayxo]

Lol I knew when I saw the photo of her looking awesome!!!

[@glennwelsh9784]

Going forward, you DO NOT want to watch the Justice League movie directed by Joss Whedon. It's a mess of a movie. You want to seek out the version titled "Zack Snyder's Justice League." Basically, Zack Snyder left the production of the Justice League movie partway through to mourn his daughter's death, and Whedon was hired to complete the movie. However, he ended up reshooting large chunks of the movie, so the movie suffers from some jarring tone shifts. There's also some poor CGI that resulted from the sudden reshoots, which can be really distracting. In total, it wasn't well received by critics or fans and underperformed at the box office. But an online fan movement led to Snyder being rehired to complete his version of the film, appropriately titled "Zack Snyder's Justice League." It restores much of the footage that Whedon had cut out, and feels more complete and tonally consistent. It's also longer, cut into multiple parts like a miniseries. The general consensus is that it's much better than the Whedon version.

[@taputechnic]

The dirt floating was a callback to Superman's first flight in Man of Steel.

[@Deedric_Kee]

19:22 Wish you would've gotten that scene. That was some of best fighting I have ever seen in my life. 🙂

[@mallninja9805]

This movie is _the_ canonical example of "should we say the important stuff first & solve the problem in 30 seconds? No, let's fight!!"

[@mazza4190]

I believe people were disappointed because Batman and Superman took many years to team up but this was an overnight foes & friendship. The name Martha was not the reason of their eventual team up. A bit too simplified.

[@portland-182]

Good choice watching the ultimate cut. Here's the release order, always the extended/ultimate/Snyder cut where possible, Man of Steel (2013) Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) Suicide Squad (2016) Wonder Woman (2017) Justice League (2017) Aquaman (2018) Shazam! (2019) Birds of Prey: and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020) Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) The Suicide Squad (2021) The Batman (March 4, 2022) Peacemaker (HBO Max TV show) (2022) Some are better than others...no spoilers

[@flatebo1]

"Is this why everyone hates this movie?" No. Everyone hates this movie because it is so epically moronic in so, so many ways. Especially the theatrical cut, which left out a lot of the setup for various plot elements and, consequently had many major plot point happen for no reason. In the theatrical cut we did not know the name of the photographer with Lois in Africa. But there was press coverage establishing that the photographer was Superman's Friend, Jimmy Olsen, Who Zack Snyder had murdered because he thought it would be "fun". In the theatrical cut we did not know that Luthor's goons were murdering Bat-branded criminals in order to poison Batman's reputation. In the theatrical cut we did not see that the African witness to Superman's "atrocities" was paid off by, and later murdered by, Luthor. There's a lot of other stuff which had its setup eliminated in the theatrical cut. As a result, the theatrical version of the movie is incoherent. And....Snyder has Batman just straight up killing a whole lot of Luthor's goons. Because Snyder thinks killing people is "edgy". Snyder rips off a bunch of scenes from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns but, in typical Snyder fashion, he utterly fails to understand the purpose of the scenes in Miller's work and thus butchers them in his adaptation. In short, this is a bad version of Batman. This is a bad version of Superman. This is a bad rip off of The Dark Knight Returns. The occasional cool visuals (which is the only thing Snyder is actually good at) aren't enough to overcome Snyder's failure to understand the characters, the world they live in or the fans of comics. Which is why the DCEU was always doomed to fail.

[@SpitFireX85]

As one of those that watched the full length prior to this. Wish this edit included a lot of moments that hit for me but were omitted.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Copyright claims are getting increasingly harder to get by. We do our best to show as much as we can

[@SpitFireX85]

@@jenmurrayxo I get that. In hindsight, I see the production factor of these edits going up with massive improvements. Even with these semi-animated comic book pop-ins... this flick was called 'Batman V Superman. .' . There must be viewers just popping in to see your edit of this. The content of that flight and this edit don't seem to refect that. Only genuine feedback.

[@juliangrant9718]

Ok, so the main hate the movie got is that the trailers showed a majority of the movie, beat for beat. In exactly the order you'd see the movie. They spoiled Doomsday (the Hulk creature) which is a major Superman villain and if they put him in the movie then it also spoils Superman's death which that villain is known for. Then when the film was released it looked as if half the film was left on the cutting room floor as it just looked jumpy and cut into scenes abruptly (hence the Ultimate Edition). It was not edited well and they did that to get more runs in the cinema and it really hurt the movie so they could make more money. Jessie Eisenberg's performance as Lex Luther is awful. I don't know what he was going for. "Tech mogul psychopath", I don't know. He was originally going to be cast as Jimmy Olsen and for some baffling reason they recast him as Luther. Seriously, they didn't have to shave his head at the end. He's not jumping into a prison in the 1920s where there's lice everywhere and will need to shave it. They just had to put that moment to signify that he's fully transformed into the character we know. Absolute bs! It's such an unearned moment. Nothing that this version represents comes close to what Luther is and is supposed to be. He's not some skeeved out loon. It was the first step in what would be a systematic assassination of DCs villains with Joker and the rest of the Suicide Squad next on the chopping block. That movie took out half of Batman's villains which is a sin that is unforgivable to this day. Edit: oh, and Martha. Everyone will mention the Martha comment. I get it, it's supposed to signify that Superman has a mother, he has a home. He is in essence, human. I get it. It made me audibly yell out at the cinema screen "THAT'S what's gonna do it?"

[@jonrivers7779]

@jen murray. Your reaction summed up what most fans felt and why this movie isnt well liked. Superman v Doomsday and Batman v Superman are 2 separate comic arcs. This film stitched the two together, as well as introduce the justice league, wonder woman and Ben Affleck as Batman. It just didnt work as it was too much. Superman v Doomsday is the death of superman and shows the insignificance of Earth compared to an extra-terrestrial threat. Batman v Superman is where Superman learns humility in an alternate reality. Linking the two made it just a CGI slugfest. In Batman v Superman, Bats has a heart attack but they bond over a shared love of humanity in the end - in this film they changed that to they bonded over the fact their mum's had the same name which lessened the whole story. Jesse Eisenburg is an amazing actor but he really didnt fit as Lex Luthor. Lex is meant to be an older guy with a supreme intelligence. Jesse played a kid who was half crazy and having prophetic ideas. If they had thought about this and changed into 2 movies it would have been great

[@jeffthompson9622]

I agree that Henry Cavill has been excellent as Superman. The first movie I recognized him in was "Stardust." Yes, you did hear Holly Hunter's distinctive voice in " The Incredibles. The first movie I saw her in at the theater was "Always." She starred as a police detective in two seasons of "Saving Grace."

[@darkforestcinema]

Wonder Women is a good watch before Zack's Justice League. Great reaction.

[@SKiZ0TT]

I'm team Henry too!

[@SnyderVerso]

Love this movie, most of the people love it, Zack Snyder really was ahead of his time, and now most of us fans enjoy the Ultimate Edition, they didn't like very much the theatrical, because WB cut the most part of the Luthor's plan, after they release the Ultimate Edition, some critics apologize with Snyder for criticizing the movie, because they like a lot. Watch Zack Snyders Justice League please, if you can, split in 2 parts for us, to watch your full reaction, most of the reactors are doing this.
