    What makes it clear that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) is a work of fiction is that the film opens with the CEO of Wayne Enterprises showing concern for his employees.

    Work For Hire. This is where the publisher buys the story from you. This is common in media tie-in writing. DC Comics hires you to write a Batman story, and they own everything about it. If you create a character in that story and they make a movie about them, you don’t get a dime.

    Rewatching The Crow and Dark City as double feature. I swear to god Alex Proyas should’ve directed a Batman Movie in the 90s. The gothic, grungy, art deco city setting in these two movies would’ve slapped hard for a Batman movie.

    In the end, I lost count of how many times she was depowered. Three times? Four? It was as if they were afraid to let the superhero be a superhero. Striking isn't it how you never see that in a Batman film.

It's hard for me to appreciate it's impact on Batman stories going forward when Barbara getting fridged leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. The film is so much worse.

    Watching the interview and looking back on the history of how he became Batman, the low point seems to be a result of everything going wrong and not having the power to fix it. Affleck only took on the role after being convinced by Snyder (after Daredevil he was reluctant to take on a superhero role again). Batman v Superman was rocky, but a future solo film was planned. Then Justice League happened. Massive studio interference. Snyder had to step away and lost the film. His costars had issues…

    I would not say the plot, uh, matters too much in this movie, but rather than ANYTHING from the comics, you’re getting a TV movie version of Batman Forever, which came out 8 months prior. Matt Frewer is doing a full-on Jim Carrey impersonation and his plan is basically identical to the Riddler’s.

    Affleck was the first actor to take a serious Batman role that in my opinion was a good Bruce Wayne and good Batman. Add to that the obvious inspiration from the Batman games and it was top notch Batman to me. Honestly the writing and the meddling WB execs were what made the DCEU movies bad. Affleck was absolutely one of the bright spots and it actually makes me a little sad that he would shit on his own work like that.

    Soderbergh will be a conduit for Matt Reeves vision on THE BATMAN: PART II & he's such a professional no one will be able to pick out which director was on set for what in the final film.
