Why does Batman act like such a fucking bad ass when fighting Superman? Superman constantly pulls his punches so he doesn't hurt his old ass and constantly tries to talk sense into him while Batman goes whole hog the entire time. If Superman wanted to he could just eye laser him from low earth orbit.
Henry Carter
I actually just watched that film. I enjoyed it for the most part except Batman still doing the No Kill thing. I guess Miller wanted to portray it as a bad thing since all the bad guys Batman locked away escaped and killed hundreds more. And then he kills Joker at the end. It really does shit on liberals somewhat royally.

yes, many people think Miller just wanted to portray Superman as a simple too for the government Superman wants to do good, and is definitely holding back Batman is going all-out to prove a point that he COULD beat Superman

All the good DC stories involving Superman turn down his power level because his powers are childish and embarassingly stupid in any serious story scenario.
Thomas Parker
Batman ACTS like a badass when fighting anyone, what do you expect when his sole purpose for the fight is to try to humble Superman and make him feel human?
Are you so autistic you can't understand two people having entirely different motives, thus acting differently?
Connor Perez
The film was always going down the route of humans wearing the cloaks of superheroes. If you didn't notice, Clark is the real Kent and not Superman. Even Batman's war against Superman seems to stem from his childhood trauma and the similar pain Superman inflicted on the girl in Metropolis' ruins. They both realize they want the same thing at the end, why they see eye to eye. Dislike it, hate it but it has a thought behind it.
Austin Clark
So how many mutants died when Batman rolled in with the tank? He was using explosives and shit.
Jayden Lewis
What the fuck is your problem cocksucker? I was just asking why Batman acts like he's such a badass when Superman basically handles him with kid gloves the entire time.
Jace Green
Because Batmans entire character is acting like a badass. How is this hard to understand? He never acts any other way regardless of whether he's fighting street thugs or or a universe ending threat.
He has no other mode of operation.
Ayden Mitchell
Because Batman KNOWS Clark will hold back. It's part of his calculation and during their fight he even points out how pathetic Clark is for holding back and how this is his biggest weakness.
Adrian Russell
Looking back, that scene works so much better without any dialogue. The flashback conveys the point better than any dialogue.
Caleb Rogers
Pretending that BvS was some sort of misunderstood masterpiece is one of the best Sup Forums memes in years.

Snyder is a superman-fag who self inserts. BvS philosophy is the oppiste of TKR one.

Justice League War had a bit of that vibe, I think. There's a webm floating around with the full fight.
Camden Cox

Blake Russell
Anime logic.
Easton Peterson
the premise in the original graphic novel was that superman had previously been weakened by a nuclear blast. he was cut off from sunlight due to the fallout and had not fully recovered by the time he fought batman in crime alley.
Lucas Harris
Yeah there was a scene where superman is toying with bats, and it's obvious that he could wipe him off the face of the earth in a second if he wanted to, but nobody ever goes full on with it.
Bentley Brooks
>BvS philosophy is the oppiste of TKR one. Nah, not opposites. Only BvS keeps it more grounded while Returns is borderline dystopia. Both Batman and Superman have reasons to do what they do. For Batman it's ensuring another Metropolis never happens. For Superman it's ensuring the justice process runs it course over vigilantes. In the end, they are revealed to be more alike than either of them would admit. Snyder and Miller probably agrees on a lot of things.
Levi Rogers
>his powers are childish and embarrassing stupid in any serious story scenario. They're really not in any situation where Clark is up against other super-powered foes: heat vision, super strength, flight and heightened intelligence are standard fictional tropes that make sense in-universe. Try thinking about the logistics of a karate-detective man in a bat suit, and his one-man fight against crime in a single city, and tell me that's a concept that isn't just plain embarrassing.

Disney's Marvel would never dare a political statement that polarizing. The whole story would be remade into some useless agreement over some useless UN paper that nobody even remembers in the third act of the film.

It's not "deep". Perhaps the opposite, most of it is told through visuals that anyone with one eye can observe. But sometimes I think people don't like watching story but instead hear it through exposition.
Blake Diaz
>How would Marvel handle this scene?
Bentley Stewart
Ok my bad.
Charles Anderson
snyder's version is better
here, superman is a pathetic cuck taking order from a cuck president, batman is basically a mary sue
in snyder's version they have both convincing motivations to fight, but superman never goes all in, while batman realizes he is becoming joe chill and basically destroying a family just for a 1% chance
Ethan Flores
If only Snyder could admit that instead of pretending he understands the character.
David King
Stop pretend Superman is a high-intellect concept to be processed and understood. It's a dude flying around saving people. All other interpretations are individual author takes on the hero. Just compare Kingdom Come Superman to Returns Superman. It's not even the same character.
Daniel Flores
I disagree. BKV, Brubaker, and sometimes Azarello are all in the running.
Ayden Jones
>convincing motivations
Batman wants to kill superman because of his power and the 1% chance he could be bad. However any other metahuman/superpowered person is totally fine though.
Chase Davis
>in snyder's version they have both convincing motivations to fight Snyderfags are truly the most deluded people on the planet
Xavier Diaz
Hey it's all explained in one of the 8 dream sequences/flashbacks batman has.
10/10 writing right there.
Mason Howard
As JL proved they are ants compared to a fully unleashed Superman. And also the fact that Superman is an outsider, a being from another planet, that makes him so terrifying for Bruce. Imagine being Bruce, he has no idea how a Kryptonian thinks and feels. His fears are justified in that he's yet seen the human aspect of Superman. This is what saves Superman eventually.
Wyatt Williams
Was that supposed to be an argument or are you just going to continue leak blood from your ass?
Brayden White
Batman and superman are literally tricked and blackmailed into fighting each other
Robert Jenkins
We're talking about BvS. All of your points can be applied Wonder woman in the movie.
Easton Flores
By feeding into legitimate fears both had of the other. For Batman, it's Superman's race causing so many deaths in Metropolis. For Superman it's Bruce trampling all over civil rights in Gotham and acts the executioner.
Hudson Rogers
WASTED
Brayden Campbell
Wonder Woman isn't an alien. Even if she was, Bruce has absolutely no reason to fear her SINCE SHE WASN'T EVEN PARTAKING IN THE METROPOLIS BATTLE YOU DIMWIT.
Jose Rogers
>By feeding into legitimate fears both had of the other. That were based off of lies and blackmail. Their entire confrontation is fake.
>For Batman, it's Superman's race causing so many deaths in Metropolis. For Superman it's Bruce trampling all over civil rights in Gotham and acts the executioner. They're both violent maniacs who kill when they deem necessary so acting like they're having a philosophical dispute is retarded. Superman LITERALLY acted the executioner on Zod and with the warlord who had held Lois at gunpoint.
Nicholas Parker
Zod counts as self-defense and he didn't kill the warlord. Just fucked his shit up real good.
Evan Sanchez
Batman doesn't know what she is except that she hasn't aged in a 100 years. All of his fears of supermans power could be applied to her but he's instantly comfortable around her.
He's willing to kill superman on a 1% chance but he instantly gives Diana 0% threat level and trusts her based on nothing but a 1 minute flirty back and forth meeting.
Carter Anderson
Didn't he fly him through a brick wall or so?
Anthony Phillips
Is there a Superman who is inmune to cryptonite?
Owen Walker
>Zod counts as self-defense No? Superman was winning that fight handily. > he didn't kill the warlord. Oh I guess he just non-lethally blasted him through a brick wall at mach 2.
Grayson Thompson
Ok.
Start by watching the movie
In the intro, look where Bruce is. And then when he's in the rubbles, look where he looks up to. Look what he sees as the answer to Metropolis' destruction. What does he see? Can you answer the question?
Oliver Hall
Check out Red Sun. It's a comic where Superman crashed into soviet russia instead of America. Supes doens't mess around, and it's got the greatest bat-cowl of all time.
Caleb Mitchell
Yeah, but that's Cyborg Superman
Mason Hernandez
>No? Superman was winning that fight handily. What the fuck? Are you making this shit up as you go along? Watch the movie before replying again.

Snyder/Superman fags remind me of retards who regularly watch Dragon Ball Super and root only for Goku.
You have to be incredibly simple-minded to have that sort of taste.
Camden Gomez
Wait are you saying Lex Luthor's whole plan is pointless and that Batman had already decided to kill Superman after the Metropolis Zod fight? That Luthor could have done nothing and they still would have fought?
Man he wasted a lot of time stealing cheques from that crippled dude and mailing them back to Wayne.
Maybe you should listen to what Batman tells Alfred are his reasons to kill Superman.
Adrian Long
What's with the Dragonball obsessed autist always posting in these threads?
Christopher Reed
Post that comic strip.of Superman where he saves a chick from suicide. Batman can't even compete
Dylan Scott
that whole scenes is so stupid, batman acting all superior and smug even through he only got that far because Sups went easy on him. If Superman had set out from the beginning to kill Bruce that whole movie would have been over in less then 2 seconds and no amount of planning on Bruces side could have changed that. Superman doesn´t even need to get close to Batman to kill him, he can just bombard the batcave from space with asteroids 24/7
Lucas Phillips
this unironically sounds like an episode from Teen Titans Go
Adrian Miller
Blacks have denser bones, user. Kal-El knew this. The warlord was fine.
Somebody should post it next to the Pa "you should have let a bus full of school children drown" Kent.
Alexander Morales
underrated post
Carter Green
Nah I think most people prefer if it were told through a competently made film.
BvS had tons of exposition(a lot of it clunky) and it baffles me that people call it a visual masterpiece.
Wyatt Myers
>And then he kills Joker at the end.
Doesn't he break his own neck after Batman refuses to actually kill him?
As I recall, Batman does spit a nice loogie on him.
Alexander Perry
>Try thinking about the logistics of a karate-detective man in a bat suit, and his one-man fight against crime in a single city, and tell me that's a concept that isn't just plain embarrassing. I've been rewatching BTAS recently, since I haven't seen it since I was a kid, and I keep having to reel in my autism for this very reason. I keep asking myself different variations of >How does he have the time to do all of this shit Before reminding myself that its a children's cartoon so I shouldn't think too much about it.
Brayden Taylor
If Superman fought with the intent to kill, it wouldn't be Superman.
>Holy Terror was controversial upon release; many comic book writers and reviewers argued that the novel's characterization of jihad was Islamophobic.[12] David Brothers of ComicsAlliance, in a review of the book, felt that Miller's writing "[simplifies] matters to an almost absurd level... the enemy in Holy Terror is not so much the terrorist organization, Al-Qaeda, but the religion of Islam."[13] Similarly, Cyriaque Lamar of Io9 called the portrayal of terrorists "cartoonish... [gutting] Holy Terror of any emotional resonance."[14] Spencer Ackerman of Wired wrote that the book was "one of the most appalling, offensive and vindictive comics of all time... Miller's Holy Terror is a screed against Islam, completely uninterested in any nuance or empathy toward 1.2 billion people he conflates with a few murderous conspiracy theorists."

>BTAS I know what you mean. Though I will say BTAS is well done, and about the only way I can even stomach batman on a conceptual level because it's all so stylised and effective in its stylization.
Michael Wood
>Though I will say BTAS is well done I definitely agree. It's surprised me how mature it can be at times for such a silly cartoon, and I really love the art deco style of the show and the prohibition-era gangsters Batman is constantly fighting.
Juan Young
>However any other metahuman/superpowered person is totally fine though.
what? Superman was the only metahuman of that power batman knew of at that point, then he has a change of heart when he decides to assemble the justice league.
I've never read any criticism to mos and bvs that made sense btw (except for the forced justice league trailer sequence in the middle of the movie, THAT was stupid I agree, on the other hand the flash cameo was perfect)
