Re: Zack Snyder's Justice League coming in 2021
Agreed.
True, and don't forget making him & the rest of The Daily Planet staff completely ignorant of Batman having been one of the good guys for years. When you put Metropolis across the bay from Gotham AND have an older Batman, you expect someone at the DP to clue Clark into the fact that it was the Gotham police commissioner shining that light in the sky on a regular basis and that his "Bat Vigilante" was a non-story for that reason. It was beyond implausible for a major metropolitan newspaper to not know that was happening right next door. IMO Bruce's anger toward Superman was set up quite well, but the reverse was forced and nonsensical.
What arc? He died in the second film.
I thought Superman had a good arc in MOS. The final shot of little Clark with the cape and his father watching and the final line, "Welcome to the planet" and Clark smiling and saying, "Glad to be here, Lois" , were perfect. His "arc" was complete. He learned his origin, found love, embraced his powers, found his purpose, and finally felt like he belonged with the humans.
Agreed.
BVS took a massive **** on that by making Superman sad and depressed the whole film....then killing him.
BVS took a step backwards.
