[@wiggy009]

@AP25H I have but that shouldn't be the first version of batman we're introduced to. He is very clearly an anti hero in those comics and it wouldn't make sense for batman to be so ruthless like that. In the dark knight trilogy and comics you really got a sense of batmans ideals. He believes everybody can be saved so he decides to save Gotham while someone like Ras Al ghul or bane thinks it should just be eliminated entirely because it is beyond saving. Batman believes nothing and no one is beyond saving it's such a core element to is character that made the plots of the movies and comics so engaging. Even in Frank Miller's movies you won't see him using guns although he is much more ruthless he never really killed anyone. Batman is really just like the punisher not a hero in BvS

[@wiggy009]

@AP25H yes I know batman used to kill in his early days and if you want you can cherry pick examples of him killing in comics but you can not deny that it is a fundamental value that Batman doesn't kill. And it makes Batman a much more interesting character as he struggles to hold on to his own ideals

A man broken to what he thinks is beyond the point of return, and the man who raised him, refusing to give up on him, believing that deep down he can still use his gifts for good. Beautiful. I'll never get over it.

I was looking for a comment to confirm if I was right. It sure as hell looks like a prototype for the Justice League cowl. Snyder made a point of including a line in this movie about how Alfred couldn’t get the cowl to work, and then they even call back to it at the end of Justice League, where they call attention to Alfred finally handing the cowl to Bruce.

It's under armor for his actual cowl

[@elykspuz6596]

It's in the movie. What do you think the blue glowing lights were in his cowl? For real the suit was super strength enhanced with the goggles built into the armor. Do you think Bruce didn't manufacture a full supersuit to fight superman? He's going against someone with laserbeams and X-RAY VISION. Too be able to see him coming is detrimental. This suit was ripped off the Dark Knight Returns suit in the comics. Also proof that Bruce knows about the X-ray vision in this movie is that he uses gas grenades that release gas with lead in it. Snyder wasn't building up to the next movie here.

[@brucewayne9507]

But it gets worse because of how he treated me I became tremendously angry hateful and vengeful and instead of moving on or focusing it all on him at the time I misdirected it on some one I truly love respect and care about she was a very good friend of mine always so sweet kind friendly humane awesome compassionate beautiful and just an all around great person just like super girl but the tremendous emotional impact that came after losing her feels very similar to how the death of Bruce's parents impacted him and all of that heartbreak pain depression guilt and psychological trauma that monster gave me that too losing her just really amplified all those emotions 1 million times more and the rage vengeance hatred I have for "him" and for every other monster who has wronged me and treated me horribly in the past is still in there deep down inside of me and I also think about making them really suffer and pay for what they did to me as well but that's why Karma exists it does the dirty work for people like us and all we have to do is watch and enjoy

Everything about this scene felt like i was either reading a comic book or watching an episode of Batman the animated series, Bruce Wayne entering the batcave through the elevator, Alfred working on one of the batsuits, the burnt graffitied Robin suit hanged up in the cave, Alfred asking Bruce how his night was to Bruce explaining the leads he has on the men he's been tracking to the moment Alfred finally shows him the newspaper article about his brutal methods and questioning him about the dangerous path he is embarking on while Bruce explains that nothing has changed. It has everything you want or need to make a great Batman scene and the way it starts from silence to the music quietly playing really adds so much weight to the mood and dialgoue between these two. All the scenes with Ben Affleck and Jermey Irons were top notch but this one could very well be my all time favourite, it does such a beautiful job in incorporating so much from the cartoons, games and the comics while putting them all together into one complete package.

What did you think of the fact the tactical batsuit that he usesto fight superman is apparently a none powered suit. Meaning batman is carrying the entire wieght of the suit himself. Think about that and then go watch the scene where batman is spinning the entireweight of superman arround on the end of a rope and slamming him into things. Count how many times a character is looking at something while trying to look all serious and dramatic and not saying anything. Thats snyders go to move and its terrible if he only used it once in a film. Its pretty much in every single scene of the entire movie. Also ask yourself why when batman hacks lexs computer and get all his files, not just why does each folder have the currently non established superheroes symbol.

What you are doing is call nit-picking, and if you want to apply that level of scrutiny to every film....most of the MCU films will seem utterly stupid as well. Lots of nonsensical action, complete disregard for physics (even for a fantasy film), and motives that seem driven purely by the need to advance the plot. How DOES Tony Stark have a power cell embedded in his chest RIGHT WHERE HIS HEART SHOULD BE? Magic nanobots can make any suit or object using zero mass? Ok. An armored suit somehow means you are able to survive a fall from any height....or impacts against objects at extreme speeds?? Nope, you'd be a puddle of liquid inside a highly advanced armored suit. See how deep that rabbit hole can go? If that's how you view film you should definitely stay away from the superhero genre.

the main character is having fucking halucinations and you call that nit picking? youre insane, its no wonder you like this crap movie. you know your heart isnt in your breast boned right? its right at the back of your chest behind/between your lungs. is the nanobots making suits out of no mass thing stark again? because in infinity wars they clearly show as he makes and loses more parts of the suit the armour covering his body isnt able to fully cover him any more. at least they fit the logic of their own universe. its a powered suit so its able to do things like that. in bvs the suit isnt powered so in the rules of this niverse a regular man can swing superman around on the end of a 20 meter rope and smash him through pillars? is the explenation that bruce did some pullups so he can do that now? thats nonsense. in this mvoie that touts itself as a realistic telling of what it would be like if ther really was a superman. they have some regular human do things that break the laws of physics... yeah very realisitc telling i'd also like to know how point out a complete lack of character development for the lead character is nit picking to you, but from what youve said so far i couldnt give less of a crap about what nonsense you would say in response to that.

Did he want doomsday to destroy the entire planet? Lex apparently wants to destroy everything. The movie spoons feeds the viewer garbage. Superman can know lois is falling from a building when he had left the city to go have a hallucination of his dead dad on a mountain but he cant find his mother? They dont even put her in a lead lined room or anything. Superman can't save her when bruce knows where she is but batman can show up and save her even though they should have set her on fire the moment the batwing showed up. The depressing montage of superman reluctantly kinda helping people after disaster has struck. All of the superman crap that snyder handled poorly in mos is back only now its even less well established and goes nowhere.

[@sunsetman22]

I guess most people's thought processes operate under comic book logic. they think the world should accept a superpowered alien just because. it never made sense to me how Batman and Superman became friends in the regular timeline, considering how extremely paranoid he is about everything and anything. what Zack did, making Batman appreciate Superman due to his sacrifice/death at the hands of Doomsday after almost killing him himself due to his distrust, becoming more optimistic and even faithful in the process makes for a better arc than just "let's be friends I guess, random alien guy whom I just met".

[@AlexLove631]

LOVE THIS SCENE!! The Bruce-Alfred relationship feels straight from the animated series to me. A lot of the theatrical cut pissed me off & didn't work, but this was perfect. The defenders of Killer Batman also love to point out this scene but I think it's obvious he's talking about the branding and more angry/violent nature. Not necessarily the killing. Killing's a major thing and I think they just brushed it off, considering he's been murdering for a while but they don't really go into it

[@BatsAndNights]

They don't go too into it, I'll admit that much, but it is implied in scenes other than this one that Batman has been going too far as of late (a news article Clark is reading LITERALLY reads "Has Gotham's Caped Crusader Finally Gone Too Far?"). Although there's nothing to say whether or not they're talking about both Batman killing and the branding or just the branding. Even in this scene I'd say it's a bit too ambiguous to safely say Alfred is definitely talking about the branding. Even then, while Snyder was dumb enough to kill off Superman in the second fucking movie, I SERIOUSLY hope he wasn't willing to treat the no kill rule seriously. I don't even mean never breaking it, I literally just mean him breaking it being a big deal from now on. I'd be happy if Joker taunted him even slightly about it, talking about how he crossed the line over to his side and shit, would be cool as hell.

[@Montesama314]

If I remember lately, the Batman of this world has been at the Bat-game for 20 years. They've been pushing past that "thou shalt not kill" line for probably years, to the point that maybe even Alfred has gotten desensitized to Batman's actions a bit.

[@BatsAndNights]

I know what you mean. That doesn't mean he still technically got killed off at least temporarily. And it was such a dumb move to do it THIS early in the DCEU. It'd be like Marvel temporarily killing off Iron Man in Iron Man 2 only for him to come back in The Avengers, like what fucking sense would that make at all?

[@nii9830]

DeadlyWest 2 different stories are being told with 2 diff characters.You call Snyder dumb but don't even realize this are 2 different things.Everytime someone makes a statement about the DCEU comparing it to what Marvel did at a particular moment,I just shake my head.Iron Man isn't Superman & Superman isn't Iron Man.Snyder & Co killing off Superman in the 2nd movie isn't the equivalent of "Marvel killing off Iron Man in Iron Man 2".Pay attention to the story being told & stop insulting creatives about decisions they made because you think Marvel didn't do that.It's getting boring.Pay attention to the story being told.

[@BatsAndNights]

I am paying attention to the story being told. And that's why I believe the story being told could've been TEN times better. Imagine the entire Justice League being at Superman's funeral, imagine a Superman being beaten to death by a terrifying monster as he does everything he can to save the people he loves. Wanna know how many Superman comics there were before the death of Superman? THOUSANDS. How many movies did Snyder do Superman? TWO. I want to grow a deep and personal connection with this Superman. But now I can't. And trust me, me using the MCU for my similes doesn't automatically think "ZOMG THE MCU IS THE BEST" No, it isn't. Iron Man 2 was shit, Thor was mediocre at best, etc. In the same way that I thought Man of Steel was good and Batman v Superman was okay but robbed us of seeing some fucking amazing stories being told on the big screen.

This definitely plays up the ex military multi talented Alfred that we have come to love in the more modern comics. It almost makes it reasonable that Bruce can be Batman by being raised by a man like this. However even tho this Alfred is deadly, skilled and talented. He still is very proper, deeply cares for Bruce, and holds a strong since of morality that in reality holds Bruce back from going off the edge. I honestly believe this and Superman's sacrifice is why Batman goes back to not killing human criminals by the time of Suicide Squad. Tim Burton's Batman Alfred: A loyal butler to the Wayne's for years with no real backstory other than he was a really caring individual to Bruce and supported him no matter what. He never really voiced his disagreement seriously or corrected Bruce. He was a loyal servant and a great father figure. Christopher Nolan's Batman Alfred: Came from a long line of butlers that serviced the Wayne's (Potentially had an ex-actor background and I might miss a few details). This Alfred was stated to be the heart of batman where Fox was the brains and bats was the psychical force. A trinity that relied on each other. He voiced his opinion quite often and wasn't above disciplining Bruce. Showing that he was more than just a servant but a surrogate father who deeply cares about him. More so than any other form of Alfred I have seen. You can truly feel the love Alfred has for the young Master Wayne. But he does his job and out of love he does what he can to help Batman's crusade. Zack Synder's Batman Alfred: This is definitely the ex-military origin that was retconned in Earth One with a mixer of the more modern 90s and early 2000s Alfred. Alfred as been for quite some time in the comics an actor and intelligence agent. He was changed to SAS, to Air Force Medic, to both plus being a spy and actor. To so many different spy/military backgrounds. However the type I believe this one to be is this. I filled in allot the backstory because not much is given yet. He was a former medic in the Royal Marine's and served with Thomas Wayne potentially joint operation where they became good friends both having saved each other's life. Thomas went to gain his inheritance, became a doctor and created Wayne Industries in Gotham where Alfred continued his career through MI6. When Alfred quit to follow his life long dream of becoming an actor he failed miserably and really fail on hard times. Thomas upon hearing this hired his friend as his head of security. Alfred heard death threats against the Wayne's and advised Thomas not to go out. But Thomas did and ended up dying. It is later that he found out that he was the listed Godfather of Bruce and a letter asking Alfred to promise to take care of him. Feeling guilty for not protecting the Wayne's he agree. He presents himself as a butler how else would you explain him valeting and servicing Bruce. Calling him Master(Which is just proper) but in reality he is a mentor. He was the first trainer of Batman and his personal adviser to this day on cases. He uses his skills in intelligence, medical and military experience to service Batman. In a way he has always supported Bruce's vigilantist ways because he too wants revenge and justice. But he always out of deep care for Bruce wants them to be on a moral high ground. He still is very proper, deeply cares for Bruce, and holds a strong since of morality that in reality holds Bruce back from going off the edge.
