Can Batman serve as judge, jury, and executioner on the criminals of Gotham City?
Can Superman go into a warzone and take out a warlord?
It doesnt matter who wins inBatman v Supermanbecause the audience loses either way.
Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) with her own agenda.
Unfortunately, it develops him into the worst Batman we have ever seen.
Affleck gives a devoted performance; its the character on the page thats utterly despicable.

In Snyders hands, Batman is nothing more than a sophisticated thug with a fancy set of toys.
Hes also a pawn in Lex Luthors plans.
When it comes to Superman, Snyder is still at a loss with what to do with the character.

Characters will behave on knowledge they cant possibly have.
Theyll make requests they dont need to make.
Theres so much movie and so little of it matters.

When the movie finally does reach its titular showdown, it still doesnt carry much weight.
The situation is too contrived, Superman remains underdeveloped, and Batman is a total dummy.
It has little interest in storytelling, in characters, or in world building.

I dont necessarily mind that Snyder seems firmly against the notion of heroism.
But Zack Snyder does not do nuance.
He does not do subtlety.

He only does loud, thunderous, angry darkness that consumes everything in its path.
