As I implied in a previous article, here's a list of things that Zack Snyder's disappointing work, "Batman vs Superman", fails in its cinematic, adaptational, and satisfying characteristics. Now that the movie's extended cut has been released, I had the chance to watch it – all three hours of it – and I can safely say that I know exactly every single thing that messes this movie up. In case it wasn't completely obvious, SPOILER ALERT.

1. It breaks Batman's only rule

Batman is probably the single most iconic superhero of all time, and it definitely saw his best years between 2006 and 2015. You probably don't have to be a huge Batman fan to know that his one rule, his only rule, is to not kill anybody. It's repeated in the movies and the video games and the comics, so why in the name of Bob Kane does Batman literally riddle the bad guys with bullets and explosions?

There's no going around about it: Batman kills a lot of people in this movie. And, with the new R rating for the extended cut, there's blood to show it. Absolutely wrong.

2. Batman's timeline makes no sense whatsoever

In this movie, apparently, Bruce Wayne has been Batman for many years now; he has experience, strength, a bunch of gadgets and Alfred is the best sidekick ever. So, tell me, Zack Snyder, why is Batman still a myth around Gotham City? How is it that Batman is just now making a name for himself in Gotham and the whole area, when he's supposed to have been kicking bad guys around for at least a decade?

Clark Kent doesn't know who or what he is, and every time he asks somebody, they're scared, thinking he's a demon. Even the cops try to shoot him when they see him in a crime scene. Then, why is there a Bat Signal on top of the Police Station?

3. Lex Luthor has no arc, nor motivation

I do have to give props to Warner Bros for at least trying to make a different interpretation of Lex, with his hipster mannerisms and work policies; it really grounded him in the real world as a very young and hip CEO. Nevertheless, that's pretty much the only good thing about this Lex Luthor.

Putting Jesse Eisenberg's strange performance aside, the character has no background and no personality, other than just being evil for the sake of it. Why is he obsessed with getting kryptonite? I don't know. Why does he want the two giants to fight each other so badly? No idea. He's just an antagonist because the plot needed one.

4. Doomsday and Wonder Woman have no place in this movie

Jeremy Irons himself said that this movie deserved bad reviews, because it was overstuffed with characters. And he's very right. Not even with a three hour movie is there time to introduce Wonder Woman and Doomsday in a respectful or even cool way; they're just there. It wouldn't matter so much if these two characters weren't so popular and important to the lore of DC comics.

Wonder Woman is the third most important superhero in the Justice League, but in this movie she's downplayed to acting all spyish and being sexy, appearing in costume and doing something important for the plot only at the end. And Doomsday is one of the most menacing and strong characters of DC comics, but in here he's just a brute created by Lex Luthor – with his newfound Kyptonian biology expertise, I guess. This point goes together with my next one.

5. DC is rushing to catch up with Marvel, and they're doing a terrible job

We get it. Marvel movies are extremely popular and gross a billion dollars each year. But you know which movie is considered to be the best superhero movie of all time? "The Dark Knight", starring Batman, made by the infinitely talented Christopher Nolan with not only artistic freedom, but no pressure from the studio to create a universe. Warner and DC are so desperate for their universe that they completely ignored the way Marvel did theirs. "Batman vs Superman" is kind of like an "Avengers", except "Avengers" had more than half of its characters introduced in previous movies, whereas "BvS" had like... Two.

I think this is DC's biggest problem. They're trying to build a castle without laying the groundwork first, and practically drawing the blueprints as they go. This movie would have been a lot better if it had other movies released before it, because this movie's plot tries to tell too many stories, and it simply doesn't have space for it.

Before "BvS", we should have gotten another Superman movie, exploring the consequences of Metropolis' destruction and how the world reacts to Superman, with Lois in the backdrop doing her reporter things, and Lex Luthor actually being evil for a reason – and also getting an actual portrayal of Jimmy Olsen, and not that guy who was supposedly him.

Also, a Batman movie would have been nice, introducing Batfleck to audiences and his new world, the new Gotham and a newly experienced Batman. Just in case, a Wonder Woman movie would have been nice, to save us from her clunky introduction in "BvS".

The movie isn't complete crap, though. There are good things about it that elevate it from being absolutely horrible. There are more bad things than good, obviously, and that's what makes it very hard to not compare it with Marvel's plethora of characters in "Civil War" and how that actually works. I'll talk about the good things from "BvS" in a future article, I think. If I had to give it a rating, it'd probably be a 5 or a 6, which isn't that terrible.

For now, just re-watch "The Dark Knight" and be happy that Batman can be in a 10/10 movie.

Peace out.
