I really love how they've managed to use the events of Final Crisis, including Batman being sent back in time after he shot Darkseid, to the Dark Nights Metal series. Of course as you guys mentioned, the Final Crisis ties in to both Boss Darkseid and 7 soldiers. The fact that they've managed to connect everything so well is mind-boggling.

[@expectopatronum21]

Thanos : I m the baddest villan. Darksied : dodge my omega beam!

[@jobsmine]

This exactly why I prefer DC. Because they actually make you think about how these heroes and villains have repercussions in the real world. The film was a complete package and an epic journey from start to finish. I love the graphic novels used, the properly executed punchlines, and the background of the characters introduced. This movie did a great job showing the sheer power and destructive capabilities of Demi-gods/Superheroes/Heroes/Kryptonians under on Earth. Bro I am insanely in love with this cinematography and combat sequence. Notice how the female characters didn't bash the man's masculinity or invoke any "girl power" nonsense? And still, they came off as a powerful female character in the movie. (WW, Faora, Luis Lane, Mera, HQ and Martha). That's good writing by Goyer, the Nolan brothers, and Zack Snyder. Also brilliant acting by everyone.
