Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 24th, 2016)

Fanboy woodies are standing like that too right now.

It looks like Batman's is too, judging by that shot.

It's in Affleck's contract. He must have the largest bulge...and ****s in the DCEU.

I can't wait for a Shumacher-esque suit-up scene in either Justice League or Affleck's solo film.

 

[EVILFACE]

Dr. Manhattan is rumored to be in Justice League.

And they are looking at his wang.

Something I've been wondering about since the first time I saw the movie, but forgot to ask:

When Bruce and his parents are walking out of the movies, the marquee announces "Excalibur", and at the final confrontation, Superman manages to kill Doomsday by impaling himself on one of its spines, while plunging the spear deeper into it, which mimics the scene where Arthur impales himself on Mordred's (his ******* son's) spear while plunging Excalibur into his chest.

I thought it was an interesting homage to one of my favourite movies, and I've never seen any parallels drawn between Arthurian myth and Batman lore.
Any thoughts?

That's correct, there are also more parallels of Excallibur in the movie.

Like many of BVS scenes, that one has not only its own layers and meaning but also parallels to other stories.

Kudos for noticing something other than Jeezus i see Jeezus lmao

Really? I didn't catch others, elaborate, please.

Not to spoil anything, but

Spoiler

tossing the spear to the water?

Im still noticing new stuff after every rewatch

 

[NASEDO]

How come Zack Synder is still directing, its like the NY Jets not firing their coach.

 

[abake]

Ah, yes, good one!

i noticed the parallels after my first watch, here's my thought from a while ago.

Eh, IDK Jye. I'm seeing this Supes=Jesus thing everywhere, but if you connect the dots, it has a lot more to do with myth then religion.

For Example..

Krypto-spear is Excalibur
-Batman’s Holy Grail is his search of justice
-batman be killing people, just like Arthur he lost his sight on his purpose
-his knights of the round table (the justice league) helps him get back on track.
-the begining of the movie, the Wayne's are leaving a showing of 'Excalibur"
-the 1981 movie Excalibur features a protagonist wearing heavy duty "knights" armor. and is told through many "dream sequences"
-Krypto spear is impaled in a rock then tossed in water just like Excalibur.

There's a lot more too, I just don't feel like typing today.

People might think this flick is a 50/50 split between supes and bats, but it's actually at heart a batman movie.

yet another thing we agree on, Jesus ain't batman and batman ain't jesus.

 

[batfan08]

I still stand by my belief that the greatest battle in Batman V Superman is the one for Batman's soul.

Huh so this stuff actually goes through some people? You're not supposed to give that much thought to flicks!

Stay #woke

I still stand by my belief that the greatest battle in Batman V Superman is the one for Batman's soul.

There's also the battle for humanity accepting Supes, only happens after Superman also finds vindication himself, but not after fighting Batman, but after being killed by his own mistake who literally came back from the dead to haunt him.

PAPA BLESS

Another nod that goes over most heads-

lex creates doomsday with science and his blood, in Arthur, Mordred, was a mix of supernatural and mortals blood.

I bet you do.

That's pretty much anything and everything that doesn't have to do with Jesus and has in-your-face Christian imagery.

Yep, one's a forbidden abomination, the other one's a product of incest so, another forbidden abomination.
