That being said, I LOATHE THEM FOR WHAT THEY DID TO BATMAN! That was just unacceptable. I mean, I thought Ben Affleck being cast as Batman was the hardest pill to swallow, but he actually didn't do bad all things considered. It's the writers who deserve to be crucified. It's like they had no idea who Batman even is when they wrote this thing. They somehow managed to write a Batman as a complete asshole that's impossible to like, who's practically a villain for much of the film, and someone you want to see get smurfed up.

Wonder Woman was pretty cool though.

This.

It was entertaining enough. It wasn't bad or particularly good. Just okay. I enjoyed Affleck as Batman. The one line he delivers was great and probably the only good memorable thing I took from it. Apart from that, a lot of didn't really make much point or sense.

(SPOILER)It was too soon for Doomsday and the subsequent death of Superman. More needed to go into the franchise before reaching this moment. It would be like killing Superman in the second issue of the comic. Dead before a chance to develop a mythos. Even then, he returns, making his death meaningless and creates the problem of where do you from here? He's already faced his biggest foe.

What I liked in this film, which was sorely wasted was that I liked how they explored the religious connotations of who Superman is, what he represents, how he plays in into morality of our own humanity and how it adds more intrigue outside of own existence on earth. I feel they missed a trick in not perhaps delving into this more as a main theme in a stand-alone sequel following on from Man of Steel.

BvS should of never have been a film (Not yet anyways) and it was just an attempt to compete with Civil War, imo. Should of developed him in his own film or started with him in Suicide Squad.
