I should have qualified, a movie that isn’t a dedicated Batman film.

They have such great source material, but they just don’t know how to generally make a movie.

B v S was just a mess on every level.

You honestly better off watching the animated Batman: The Dark Night Returns part 1 & 2 on Netflix than the mess they put on the screen in B v S.

The Luther character served no purpose and was un-needed, the natural personality differences between Superman and Batman are more than enough to drive them to conflict... don’t need some babbling antagonist who’s behavior and plot device make no sense whatsoever to manipulate them into the inevitable conflict.

The DOOMSDAY storyline, was just wedged in for no reason as well other than to have a bunch of CGI and force the death of superman storyline in when it really didn’t need to be.

DC has destroyed Superman in the latest set of movies, they just can’t seem to realize they have great source material they don’t need to try to pander with it.

Much like the Man of Steel, you would be better served watching the 1978 superman again, even with its corny time travel ending, over the slop they put up trying to make Supe’s dark and brooding and afraid to be who he is.

DC/WB just can’t seem to make a damn movie that isn’t a dedicated batman film, and even then its a hit and miss.
