Movie of the Week: Batman V Superman - Dawn of Justice

[jacey]

What can I say? This movie has received auch a lot of hype coupled with abuse, that it's difficult to take it at face value. There was a lot wrong with it, but overall I wasn't bored and it worked on some levels. It wasn't as bad as I feared, but it was certainly not as good as I'd hoped. Unfortuantely it was a mishmas of a mashup.

Yes, it covered the making of Batman yet again as the Wayne parents were killed in an alley and young Master Bruce, traumatised by bats, was left in the care of Alfred, this time played by the delightful Jeremy Irons (bonus), who is hardly the typical butler. Ben Affleck makes a surprisingly decent Batman, though I still can't take to Henry Cavill as Superman, but then I'm of the Christopher Reeve generation and no one will ever better that.

Despite the fact that it's Batman versus Superman, there's only one actual fight and the rest is Lex Luthor playing the psychology game, making sure that the two of them are ready to fight each other. It all starts to improve when Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) turns up

There are one or two weird things going on. Clarke and Lois are obviously in a physical relationship, and she's well aware of his 'secret.' Re the imbalance between human physiology and the Kryptonian physiology, I'm not quite sure how Lois has survived nights of passion. Read Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex by Larry Niven for more speculation about Superman's sex life.

So if I've read this movie right, its the set-up for the Justice League movie

Love the link to Superman's sex life.

I recall reading a Buffy crossover where Superman has sex with either Spike or Angel because he can't kill them.
