Dawn of Justice brings to the fantasy some contemporary, real-world concerns. This is not conventional comic-book allegory; rather, Snyder uses the figures of Batman and Superman walloping each other to give visible substance to social and moral issues, much as Greek tragedy does. He takes the wildest, Bizarro World fiction — of two superheroes turned super foes — and uses the premise to explicate our current dilemmas concerning power, principles, and divinity.
It helps that Snyder is also visionary, inclined to extravagant spectacle and gifted with a signature erotic touch. An early montage equates violence, wealth, loss, and grief through symbolic images of bullets, pearls, blood, and tears. It is witnessed by the young Bruce Wayne, a paranoid orphaned millionaire who misconstrues Superman’s involvement in the previous film’s battle that devastated Metropolis, and so he vows a vigilante’s revenge. With its legal-brief title, Batman v Superman reflects the confusion that pits secularists against believers, and the partisanship that inhibits national alliance. This tension is so visually amped up that the opposition of Batman to Superman feels revelatory: Man versus the god in Man.
Fanboys prefer the Nolan films for their “darkness,” which emphasized the sophomoric, pseudo-tragic elements of the Batman graphic novels. But Snyder’s more adult treatment finds the material’s emotional core. This displeases the fanboy/hipster whose adolescent embarrassment about feelings was exploited through Nolan’s emotionless violence and post–9/11 nihilism. Snyder counters that cultural crisis and visualizes the millennial moral struggle as pop myth. His essential subject is mankind’s struggle to discover compassion as well as common obligation — or dare I use the non-political term: brotherhood?

When you are supporting this movie, this is what you really are supporting.

A movie like an 8-year old’s fantasy
After 150 minutes playtime the fact is: You can’t really spoil anything here. It’s all in the title after all: Batman versus Superman. The script is accordingly predictable. “Batman v Superman” is like an Eight year old letting his Batman and Superman plastic figures fight in his room. On the left he occasionally destroys a Lego hut, on the right he lets a toy dinosaur attack them and when it becomes just too boring, he snatches a Barbie in the room of his sister who also may play along. And with feigned voice he then says sentences like
Quote: “That son of a bitch brought the war to us. Count the dead, there’s thousands of people. What’s next, billions? He has the power to wipe out the entire human race and if we believe that there’s even a one percent chance that he is our enemy we have to take it as an absolute certainty"
Scatterbrained and confusing movie
Zack Snyder presents us with a scatterbrained and confusing movie here, it tangles itself up in dozens of plotlines. And that although the premise of the movie that peeps out of the plot ball is actually quite interesting: "Batman v Superman" takes place in a world that slowly comes to terms that Superman, an almighty alien, walks on earth and looks over us. Many don’t approve the almightiness of Superman. Because the existence of God on earth leverages all constitutions and treaties – the power of the states and institutions diminishes . Also the scientist and industrial tycoon Lex Luthor feels his world view endangered by Superman. So he conspires a complicated complot: Luthor wants to make Batman take care of Superman. While he is watching smirking.
Quote: „And now, you will fly to him, and you will battle him to the death. Black and blue. Fight night. The greatest gladiator match in the history of the world. God versus man. Day versus night! Son of Krypton versus Bat of Gotham“

Exciting, witty Superhero stories are done by others
No, Lex Luthor doesn’t go below that. And he’s in good company with that, because director Snyder also for two and a half hours goes all out with pathos. There is a glass painting with Archangel Michael put in the background, who armed with sword and shield fights against the devil. Or they swagger loudly about renaissance paintings. Or the myth of Prometheus is dug up. By no later than 5 minutes everyone just thinks: It’s alright already. I get it. Superheroes, they are our modern myths. But Snyder only pretends to have a message – behind the fassade you only hear the dull snorting of of his own hubris. The super hero series “Jessica Jones” that runs on Netflix, proves that Superheroes and sophisticated stories don’t need to be exclusive to each other.
But let’s be honest here. Even if Snyder managed to answer all existential questions of humanity with “Batman v Superman”: Nobody would go to the cinema for these answers. We want to be entertained – nothing more but also nothing less. And even in that regard Snyder fails. The Action is cookie cutter and confusingly cut, the 3D effects awkward – and any atmosphere also doesn’t really build up.
