[@fourcrippledhorses]

because it's melodrama. although that has been kind of tempered by all the Whedon/Kevin Smith type snark and dimestore cynicism. not defending it, but like, back in the day, Kitty Pryde compares being called "mutie" to calling a black guy the N word. you gotta suspend your disbelief to take this shit seriously, which is why movies trying to do gritty realism always hamstrings it

[@Eidlones]

DC actually did a neat thing with that. In one story arc they revealed that Death was leaving the boundary between life and death open on purpose, in order to build up an army of people who had died before. Fun way to use a major comic trope to their advantage.

There's a comic where Lex Luthor creates an advanced face recognition AI that correctly recognizes Clark Kent as Superman. But Lex refuses to believe it and thinks the AI is faulty.

[@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond]

I know Jay wouldn't appreciate me saying this considering the writer, but regarding superman's secret identity. In Superman: American Alien by Max Landis theres a great moment where Superman reveals that people have in-fact seen him without his glasses from time to time, and they always have the same basic response. "You look like superman" then they move on, because Clark's persona change is what makes the glasses work, not the other way around. The glasses are just the icing on the cake when it comes to his secret identity. And about Detective Chimp. Silly idea, but he's awesome. Usually turns up for christmas specials or other special issues. Always great when he teams up with Batman. Shouldn't work at all, but Chimp is always an absolute joy to read. I'd love to see a Matt Reeves detective chimp movie. Maybe he can team up with Pattinson's Batman for a post-credit scene or something a few movies down the line.

[@prathapkutty7407]

I think Matt Reeves style is too dark and realistic unless that's how the comics are.

[@milesedgeworth132]

Well that's a dumb explanation. "You have the same exact built, jawline and facial structure as Superman. In fact, we never see both of you at the same time. But it couldn't be you. You're just a very muscular nerd."

I'm still baffled WB got cold feet on the two part Justice League idea. The Snyder Cut acts as basically an origin film for Cyborg and has to introduce Aquaman and Flash as well. The audience doesn't know half the team yet, so of course you'll need a lot of runtime to account for that. Imagine if we had no idea who Captain America, Black Widow, and Hulk were before the Avengers came out and they just show up in the film.
