Batman is my favorite hero and I also hope that's true.
It's fucking dumb how many people have died because Batman refuses to kill. I've never found a character's refusal to kill interesting. All it does it annoy the shit out off me.
Thread's getting good, I see.

I'm still going to see this film to decide for myself, but it sounds like DC still hasn't found its footing in the movie industry. I really wanted this movie to do well with the critics. Some of these reviews are brutal.

If he kills there's likely contextual reasoning. I don't adhere to BUT HE CAN'T DO THAT garbage. I was fine with Superman super breaking Zod's neck, there was a reason for it IMO and I'm sure the same will apply here. It just doesn't bother me at all.
On Batman:
FUCK
ZACK WHY WHAT THE FUCK

The salt is strong with this one.

Ew what? It hasn't even been remotely that high for two fucking years.

I'm trying to not be in denial and I have no idea if I'm succeeding.
It's going to be GREAT!

Because we haven't bought tickets yet and are wondering if we should.
Why anyone had any hopes for this after the shitshow that was Man of Steel is beyond me.
I won't lie though: it is immensely pleasing seeing it get torn to fucking shreds
SO you wanted this movie to fail? Why would you be happy?
I'm baffled by why anyone expected any different. Snyder isn't that good a director, WB were trying to rush into their cinematic universe, the trailers looked like shit, Henry Cavill is a plank of wood, etc. I'm going with a bunch of mates on saturday and my expectations were incredibly low.It might not even meet them.

Well, he is a lot more savage in the dark Knight returns but I don't remember if he outright kills anyone there. Just remember him being on another level of brutal in it
But yeah, something something rubber bullets
In DKR
he only paralyses the Joker, who then proceeds to kill himself. The tank fires - and I quote - "rubber bullets. Honest." Though there is a moment where Batman uses a machine gun on a thug which looks like a pretty obvious murder.
You're a little late there.

First half is bad. Second half is really good.
Too much going on. They crammed it with two movie's worth of content. Too dense.
Cavill is OK. I like Affleck and Gadot a lot. Eisienberg is good. There's potential there. Snyder nails action but misses on most of the rest.
It's all set up. They sacrificed this movie to get DCU up and running.
Going at this with my Multiversity attitude this is an independent character so I won't imprint.
Read the positive reviews, like is a strong word

criticSSSSSS didn't decide to pan this movie together
MoS is the 2nd or 3rd best comic book movie of all time in my opinion. Don't let other people's opinions inform your own.

That bet thread can kiss the 1 billion mark away.
Because it completely shatters his character. His no-killing rule isn't just some moral code, it's a symptom of the psychological trauma that made him the Batman. If you take that away then he's just the fucking Punisher. Batman being a murderer is also a major negative I had for the '89 Batman film.

Batman kills all the time though. I love him for it. I imagine his no killing rule is just a lie he tells people.

And you're happy a movie is bad....why exactly?
Your answer:
100% True and worst of all is it's never explained or given context, he just does it and we sit back and have to say "ok then..."

The thing is... I feel like Snyder has a kind of style and taste that is not entirely without merit... He has a grimdark sensibility that could work somewhere. But he is so wrong for superhero movies.
I feel like the world suffers because Snyder is a successful director who happens to be a DC fanboy. It doesn't matter that his style and sensibility is so wrong for DC, he gets the job...

Stop.
Snyder doesn't even come close to any of the brilliant movies that Scott has directed in his lengthy career, even his so called "shit" movies are brilliant when compared to the majority of Snyder's work. Also, the theatrical cut of KoH is pretty great the director's cut is just simply phenomenal. Additionally, Scott only recently started to put out crap like Prometheus and Exodus at his old age and yet still manages to crap out The Martian when he decides to care.
