<SPOILERS>
Sometime soon, I feel @
cml750 and @
REDVOLUTION are gonna make me regret this post but I'm a stickler for self-induced punishment
so...
-And the CIA was on to Lex and his group (in Africa) and they were tracking the agent's movement in the film, obviously suspect of Lex's organization, but then the Government gives him access to the the Kryptonian ship and Zod?
Perhaps the CIA wants Luthor to fabricate a Superman counter measure. Maybe Cadmus and the CIA are collaborating on such a deterrent. I do agree it should've been explained in detail for some of the audience.
-Superman can save Lois just seconds after being thrown of a roof by Lex or when she is taken hostage in Africa or when she is drowning but he can't find and save his mother? Even though he "sensed" danger for her in MoS when the Kryptonians showed up at the farm.......
Superman has super senses including hearing and sight but not spidey sense. He can see and hear only what he focuses his senses towards at any given moment. He saw and/or heard Lois in danger by the terrorists. Ms. Lang is a professional Pultizer winning journalist and has been in her share of dangerous situations before meeting Clark but he's Superman, she's his lady and he was keeping tabs on her knowing she was investigating. Sue him.
(EDIT: In
Man of Steel, Superman knew the Kryptonians were searching for the Kodex, the key to converting Earth into a new Krypton. Where would they search for the Kodex after reading his mind on the Kryptonian ship? The farm. Where was Martha? The farm, where Faora-Ul destroyed the Kent barn looking for the Kodex and a pissed off Zod launched the Kent truck into the Kent house. Superman didn't "sense" Martha's danger until he stopped to think about the Kryptonians and where they may be after saving Lois. A split-second of super hearing focused on the farm and pow--Superman was flying at super speed straight for Martha.) Martha was dumping trash in a back alley and was likely tranquilized before getting grabbed. Superman would be clueless about the abduction unless he trained his senses towards her that exact moment. Superman isn't an all-powerful being so finding Martha after she was taken would take some detective work--an expertise that Batman excels.
-Hey, Lex hates Superman because he is all powerful and a threat to the planet and what does Lex do? He creates Doomsday, another powerful, all destroying, killing machine.
I half-heartedly reply about this particular observation. Luthor's a genius so I think he built a kill switch into Doomsday but my guess would be completely irrelevant if true because Doomsday would've killed Luthor instantly if Superman hadn't been there to prevent Luthor from being punched into orbit.
-Speaking of Doomsday, how do you mix Zod's DNA with Lex's DNA and come out with that non-human/non-Kryptonian looking thing?
I think when the Kryptonian computer warned Luthor the Krypton council outlawed re-animating dead people because it was an abomination--it was due to the practice of re-animating people resulted in
abominations.
-The scenes of Aquaman, Flash, Cyborg and WW were just "add-ins" with no apparent explanation or reason. Hey, Aquaman seems to have spent most of his life in the shadows and an underwater camera just happens to find him in some "hole" somewhere in the middle of the ocean? And does Aquaman avoid the camera? No, he just looks right at it.
Diana steals Luthor/military encrypted files. She doesn't have the resources to crack the encryption and hands them back to Bruce. Bruce has the resources, breaks the encryption, gets the info he wants, and emails the unencrypted files to Diana. Diana secures what she did not want humanity having--namely the picture. Curiosity, a mutual human and Amazonian trait, prompted Diana to open the other files Luthor had appropriated without consent. Warner Bros. and DC are establishing the Justice League franchise, which explains the additional files on Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman--likely pawns Luthor intelligence network discovered and hopefully exploit to destroy Superman. I may be wrong but I believe Aquaman spotted a submersible vessel of some type that may not have been shaped in the form of a camera. The vessel may have surprised him, which would explain his hesitation as he was assessing what the vessel was and what was it's purpose. Generally, all living things with eyes look directly at something that has caught their attention.
-So Batman hates Superman because of the threat he poses and Superman hates Batman because.........he's viewed as a vigilante and "brands" the crooks?
Batman has devoted his life to protecting the citizens of Gotham. He witnessed the destruction created by the Kryptonians, which killed not only thousands of Metropolitans but hundreds of Wayne Corp. employees also. He comprehends the magnitude of Superman's power and his people's technology, which was literally on the brink of destroying all life on earth. Batman didn't know Superman personally to gauge what type of person he was. Batman doesn't know whether Superman will attract similar extra-worldly threats in the future. He does know that he and the rest of humanity have successfully dealt with other human threats in the past. That changed with Superman. Killing Superman was an option that would possibly eliminate future impossible threats to humanity's existence. The fights involving Superman, Doomsday and Wonder Wonder taught Batman who Superman was and what Superman would sacrifice for humanity's survival.
-So Superman is all powerful, not a threat (MoS) and is as American as apple pie (he grew up in Kansas, you know) but Lex can talk him into killing Batman to save his mother?
People have been placed in impossible situations since the dawn of time because of their love for family. What would a child do if he or she had zero options to save their parent?
-I kept waiting for some development of the Wonder Woman character. And I did like the character/actress. How does she show up at these parties? What brings her to Metropolis/Gotham? What is her name? Other than a 100 year old photograph, who is she? How would Lex know about her to even find and keep the photo?
It stinks but people must wait until the Wonder Woman film to find answers to some of these questions. I think it stinks because Warner/DC
could have stayed with Disney/Marvel's blueprint and released the Wonder Woman movie before
BvS. That blame goes beyond Snyder. Some answers are reasonable if the audience knows and accepts who Princess Diana is based upon her mythos. She's royalty/she can afford parties, influence decision-makers with money, etc. She wants to secure the picture/she crashes parties or any other locale following leads on the picture. Lexcorp is a multinational corporation with deep pockets and wildly diverse investments/Luthor devoted his enormous resources to destroying Superman.
