          1. Lots on my mind this week so I've decided to come back to the comforting embrace of a film where Batman's parents are murdered.

          There are a lot of people being murdered in this film. Which is always a shame but especially when Superman is doing the murdering.

        Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor is unbearable. I always had a soft spot for Kevin Spacey's Luthor.

      There are so many parallel subplots going on here. Russian crime, Kryptonite, whatever Lois is doing. I'm not sure I care about any.

    Bruce Wayne can't keep himself from mansplaining. Even to Wonder Woman. Dick.

      Now this Injustice-style sequence where Batman is a terrorist and Superman is a fascist leader. Now I'm into this film.

        Oh, it's a dream.

          Now even Batman is straight up murdering some dudes. Is Wonder Woman the real hero of this film? She hasn't murdered anyone yet.

            Off sick so finally finishing off Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Tedium.

              The problem with this film's interpretation of Batman is that Batman is compelling as a character /because/ of his One Rule.

                If he's ready and willing to kill people without hesitation, then there's no contradiction of inner tension to his character.

                  Additionally, this interpretation of Batman is /too/ hung up on his parents' death.

                    Like Batman is always hung up on Crime Alley. But not so much so that he would let himself get distracted in the middle of the fight.

                      Snyder's Batman just gives up the fight and changes his mind about Superman because Superman reminds him of his parents' death. Nope.

                        Fundamentally, this ultraviolent and non-charming Batman is not someone I care about or want to see succeed. He's a dick.

                          This version of the funeral scene from Wrath of Khan is just making me angrier. Spock's emotional funeral was earned. This was not.

                            Following that, there's a scene with Jesse Eisenberg and quick violin music that made me think of The Double. Stop referencing better films.
