[SMGFan]

Bruce Wayne’s First introduction to Superman- an alien from another planet , and in the last film there was much destruction and death in Metropolis. Something personal to Wayne was destroyed .
There has been a history in comics of Batman having a documented plan on how to defeat any member of the JL if there were to go bad. Even if mind controlled by a villain. ie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JLA:_Tower_of_Babel

[SMGFan]

Batman explains how to defeat the Justice League, including himself!

Help me out here. Except for his vulnerability to kryptonite, which is a lowlife poison attack on the noble Superman, he is invulnerable. How can Batman, no matter how clever and fit, compete with the Man of Steel, unless batman is an unscrupulous krypton poisner, or Superman is retarded?

Do I have to sit through the move to find out, or can I get a hint?

[Vince Ferrer]

In the comic book Dark Knight Returns , superheroes have been made illegal by treaty, with Superman the enforcer of the treaty. Superman is allowed to continue, but is really just a government weapon. Bruce Wayne is older, retired, but Gotham is falling into such a state that he can't stand it anymore and goes back to crime fighting. This sets up the eventual conflict between the two when the president eventually orders Superman to take down Batman. However, Bruce Wayne, with a decade to prepare for such a fight, wins.

Why does she look like Xena, warrior Princess? Wheres the Red White and Blue? Oh yeah, racist, misogynist...never mind.

[MattinNJ]

If nothing else, it gave us “sad affleck”. Look it up on YouTube. It’s made of awesome

[hattend]

I don’t understand how Batman can survive a single punch to orbit from Superman.

[School of Rational Thought]

Do they still have movies?

Yes, and I am in it putting in a spectacular performance.

[jjotto]

Well, Superman may be impervious to bullets but we know the unloaded gun thrown at him could hurt because he always ducks to get out of its way.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I forgot that. Are you talking black-and-white George Reeves Superman here?

[jjotto]

Yes, George Reeves on television.

[Samwell Tarly]

Saw it last night. It's got problems. I left feeling rather entertained though. It was a fun evening at the local cinema.

That being said...

Lois: "Who... are you?"

Superman: "A friend."

-- from Superman: The Movie (1978)

There's more pure character and awe in those two lines from a nearly 40-year old movie, than there was to be found in all of Batman v Superman.

Next Saturday the local retro/classic movie theater will be showing “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”. I’m off work, and my wife wants to see it.

Any way you can help me avoid that!!! /s

Superman: super strength & speed: he gave the Flash a run for his money; invulnerable: bullets bounce off his ... eyeballs!
X-ray and heat vision; he can fly: by flying in space against the rotation of the Earth, he can turn back time! He can visit the Moon over his lunch hour to get Lois or Lana a rock.

Batman: None of the above, but crazy; utility belt; Batmobile; young “friend”; rich/ meh

[llmc1]

Well, we enjoyed it. Went in with low expectations, ignored the flaws, sat back, and had a really good time. I even accidentally said *BAM!* out loud when Batman was beating up the bad guys. Took me back to my youth.
Sure, it could have been better. But as long as Superman is a good guy, and the hero, I’m good to go.

What are those?

Green Kryptonite gloves?

[Puppage]

It absolutely sucked!
