In many minds, to go against these rules is to undo the characters reason for being. This drives longtime, studious, aware fans mental.
The versions of the characters in BvS betray the traditional rules of Batman and Superman. Snyder's breakdowns for Batman and Superman here are not good deconstructions because they stray from the familiarity that usually surrounds them. We'll let that thought lie for another day. Along with Watchmen, he fancies himself a student on the topic. Director Zack Snyder took a similar, failed stab at genre breakdowns in the uncomfortable Sucker Punch. Weird takes on the characters, right? Superman hasn't quite crossed the line yet and become full-on, always-correct Superman, while Batman has gone so far over the line of the Batman rules that he's unrecognizable.īoth the Original and Ultimate versions of BvS are deconstructions of their characters. Meanwhile, Superman is an insecure mope until he realizes his confidence will grow in time, and things will eventually make sense if he endures. Until the very close of the movie, Batman is a failure. Weird to look back on The Dark Knight Rises and realize he almost made a similar turn in that film, too. It takes 3 hours in the Batman V Superman - Ultimate Cut, but its statement is that Batman's cruelty and nihilism are incorrect world-views. Differences in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Cut makes Superman sympathetic and Batman villainousĬenter on that idea: Batman is the bad guy of the movie. I'll dissect the film's updated version here, point out the differences in the two separate cuts, and shine light on its more bizarre choices.įirst, understand the statements BvS makes in its characterizations of the two protagonists: Superman is conflicted, and Batman is in the wrong. It is an advertisement, a vision-statement, a joyless creature with cracked skin, bleeding at the seams.īatman V Superman: Dawn of Justice - Ultimate Cut (BvS) is not an F+ movie. Its Lex Luthor reads as a self-proclaimed alpha male's opinion on modern wealth.
It hums a very weird tune compared to its contemporaries. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is an F+ movie.
