Nothing.

Affleck was great (the best cast Batman, certainly Bruce Wayne, since Adam West IMHO).

It's the films that were rubbish.

I usually find you without merit, but you are right here. HE did fine with what he was given. But it was a prime example of trying to make silk out of a sows ear.

The only good thing to come out of this movie was the end credits, and affleck , everything else was garbage

I always enjoy seeing Jimmy Olsen getting shot. EVERY DC movie should have Jimmy Olsen (if played by Zack Snyder) being shot.

Hell, Yentl would've benefited from a scene of Jimmy Olsen randomly being shot.

Jaws could've had Jimmy Olsen being eaten by the shark and in the end scene, Brody sees him holding the oxygen canister.

Planet of the Apes could've had Jimmy Olsen shot by the gorillas in the hunt.

It's a scene that should be in every movie.

Not a Jimmy Olsen fan, I take it.

Well....he DOES take a bullet well....

I'm 'without merit'?

What?!?

Couldn't you just say that you agreed with me?

reply

No.


No, I could not.

Why would anyone click on a mystery link?

I actually liked Affleck as Batman, which is something I never expected since I don't think he is very good. However, he was terrible as Bruce Wayne. The few good Batman fights aside, BvS was a very very bad movie. I didn't click your link (I never follow links) so I'm not sure about the context of your question but my answer would be "the script and his Bruce."

I don't blame Affleck, just like I don't hold Cavill or Gal Gadot responsible for the Hindenburg that was BVS. However I hardly think Affleck was "the best" Batman, as some have argued. I'll take Michael Keaton's and Christian Bale's performances over Affleck's.

My only issue would be the worlds greatest detective not doing much detecting.

Other than that I LOVED the older more grizzled Dark night Returns Batman. Even the Jokers writing on the Robin costume hinted at horrible tragedies and a past with his rogues gallery. But as usual DC can't deliver

Too stiff and slow
