Question about the ending....


I couldnt tell, but at the end did Batman leave the Justice League? Or by Superman giving him A Kryptonite ring did it indicate that he is still with them?

reply

I was under the impression that he was still out, hence why he got sent back to Earth, and that Superman's kryptonite ring was just a gesture of good faith to let him know they were still on good terms.

wasn't it the kryptonite bullet?

I believe it was just a shard rather than a bullet...it looked about the size of thumb, while the bullet was the size of a fingernail.

It was either a bullet or the top actual bullet section. Just watched it

Firstly, what Superman gave Batman is the Kryptonite bullet that Superman was shot with by Metallo earlier in the movie - it wasn't a Kryptonite ring.

That said, the ending of the movie shows that Batman was no longer part of Justice League. I easily inferred this by what Superman said to Batman as he handed the bullet to him, which was, "If the league ever did go over to the wrong side, I want there to be somebody I can trust to keep the planet safe." This would imply that Batman was no longer part of the Justice League.

Hope this helps.

Superman doesn't want him to leave the league but the others were against the idea of Batman staying in the league unless he defends himself about those plans.

Batman Out, Cyborg In. It's like half-time football replacement.

In the comic that the movie is based off of it was a three to three decision that Batman should be expelled with Superman being the deciding vote (Wonder Woman, Plastic Man and Aquaman feel betrayed and vote to expel; Flash, Lantern and Manhunter believe the plan was necessary and vote to keep).

Batman leaves the Watchtower before getting the final decision as he already he knows how Superman would vote.

I believe when Batman willingly steps onto the transporter pad in the movie and is beamed off the Watchtower because he already knows he's been voted out.

a ring? you fooled me, I had to double check. I don't know, the way Superman handed it to him in Doom, if it was a ring it would have come across as kinda gay. Didn't Superman do that same thing in Hush with a ring?

In the comics Batman has a kryptonite ring as a contingency plan, which is probably why OP thought (and I did too when he was opening the box) that.

reply

if Bats indeed leave the League (which i think he did, but since it wasn't actually said but more implied i'm using "if") he should've kicked the rest of them out of the Watchtower since he paid for it and practically everything else the League owns in tech, real estate and whatnot instead of teleporting back to earth himself xD. that would've been funny to see and actually fair.

"insert random signature"

reply

Yeah, that would have been funny...but it might not necessarily be the case that Batman owned the Watchtower in THIS continuity (he certainly owned it in JL/JLU).

For instance, in the comics, at the time of this story, the JLA were based on the Moon, and that headquarters certainly wasn't funded by Batman (I think it was funded by the UN, or by various world governments, as a reward for the JLA saving the world from the White Martians).

reply

It was obviously the bullet and he prolly made it into a ring, there all happy?

reply

Even in the JL/JLU series Batman was never a full time member of the league. He always operated from Gotham. In this ending its still not clear if he was voted out or not but as Sups is giving him kryptonite as a safeguard against himself, I think the message is that Batman is still in the league, even if he's not the most popular at the time.
