I have to also say that if you were like me and concerned about Jesse Eisenberg’s portrayal of Luther after seeing the trailer (for me it was that he seemed to be putting on a squeaky voice), you don’t have to worry… he plays it as a clearly intelligent (arguably genius level) but arguably insane young man trying to make his mark on the world. I particularly liked seeing the graffitied Robin Suit in the Bat lair… hinting at the backstory that brought Batman to where he is here.

There are definitely scenes with clues in them or references to the wider DC universe. Having said that… I appreciate that Zack Snyder wants to tell the story as completely as possible. That’s not to say there wasn’t some special hidden meaning or perhaps it’s a tip of the hat to a comic I haven’t read… but the point is for the average cinema viewing audience that scene held no real significance and probably ran for a minute or so (at least it felt that long)… so in and of itself it’s not much, but add those scenes up and you can cut that 3 hours down quite reasonably.

One scene that comes to mind involves some police officers who are receiving a call to attend a crime but they hold off heading off until they get the results of the sporting event they are focused on… I kept waiting to see the link… to catch some clue as to why that scene was so important… but I didn’t get it. I do think it could have done with some generous editing, there are scenes that just don’t seem all that required. The other thing is… yes, this movie is long, it’s a touch over 3 hours long. I know many people don’t like the “moody hobo” Superman but I really enjoy seeing the character fleshed out as more than just an alien god… but rather someone who has been raised to be a human, raised with down to earth (no pun intended) morals and who, if they really existed, quite reasonably be expected to suffer from a moral quandary as they consider whether to use their powers and how. I will be very polarising here and state that I actually like this version of Superman (and I’m referring to the preceding movie here as well). The controversy… the Legend… Batman Versus Superman: Dawn of Justice! I will be honest up front… I was initially skeptical about Ben Affleck as Batman… but that actually quickly disappeared when I thought about who Batman is… or more correctly who Bruce Wayne is… a bold, self confident person with a strong personality.
