Be sure to watch the 183-minute guide version!
After watching zsjl, I found that bvs is really good
Although the length of Zha Dao Man's film modification is long, the quality is good (not to mention Sparta, the guide versions of Watchmen, Man of Steel, Bvs and Jl have all reached a length of about 3h!)
After watching zsjl and rewatching bvs, I feel that Zha Dao's grasp of the role of Luther is really in place! The villain of Superman in the comics was portrayed as a prophet in bvs. Adhering to the concept of "devils come from heaven not hell", Luthor has regarded Superman as a threat to mankind since the beginning of his existence. The real identities of the Batman duo, i.e. Superman is actually Clark Kent, whose girlfriend is Louis Lane, and Batman is actually Bruce Wayne (as for when Superman guessed...I think Batman first The second time I stole kryptonite and failed to confront the Batchao head-on, after all, it is useless to have a see-through eye mask?). He repeatedly designed to kill innocent people where Superman appeared, which not only reversed Superman's public image step by step, but also intensified the fact that it has been buried in the heart of Batman Bruce since the day General Zod fought Superman (the story of Man of Steel). The seeds of dissatisfaction with Superman, I believe that Batman did not kill Superman at first, but just wanted to contain him. After all, they are both righteous people in their hearts. Luthor knew that Batman would come to steal kryptonite, but it was not enough to get rid of Superman by the hand of Batman (Is he underestimated Batman too?), he created Doomsday for double insurance (Superman finally died in Doomsday). But Luthor didn't expect Batman to find out the truth that Superman was used by Luthor at the last minute, that is, Luthor threatened Superman to kill Batman with the life of Superman's mother, and the two reconciled.
It can be seen that although Batman has long been afraid of Superman, the competition between Batman and Superman is caused by Luthor alone! But I don't agree with what Luthor said about Batman vs. God. Whether a man is a god or not is not defined by physical strength (Superman, who was once regarded as a god, can also be easily injured by kryptonite) Batman In a sense, it is an existence that does not lose to gods. It can be seen from the people of Gotham who respect or fear him. Compared with a specific image, God is a symbol, and Batman has already become a symbolic symbol. Therefore, A bat super war is a war between two (or two) gods. This is also in my opinion Bvs is darker than "Civil War" in the same year.
One of the main reasons for the poor response of bvs was that the threshold for watching movies was a bit high in terms of comics. The audience needs to be very devoted to watch and remember these foreshadowing and even some points need to understand the original comics to get them. It deviates from the goal of relaxation and entertainment that ordinary audiences go to the cinema with. In my limited understanding of comics, bvs+zsjl basically uses the framework of "Injustice", and the shadow of "The Dark Knight Returns" can also be seen in bvs, including a scene showing smeared black uniform fragments (and zsjl The Joker's remarks at the end of "Let the boys do the man's tasks") reminds me of Robin who was tortured to death by the Joker (what generation forget?) The future Red Hood Jason Todd
Bvs and zsjl are seamlessly connected, and from bvs, you can see that Zha Dao is playing a big game of chess, unlike the mcu next door, who fights mobs to collect teammates and finally fights the big boss, except for Fulian 3 and 4, in fact, every other part Including the character unit piece, it does not hinder the viewing of the movie at all without watching the previous work, and each dceu is closely connected into a whole. Batman's dream in bvs (the advent of Darkseid symbolized by the Omega symbol on the ground, the tragic death of Lewis, the blackening of Superman, etc.) Flash's warning that I prefer to travel through time and space is a real occurrence rather than a dream (Batman sleeps on his stomach There was no paper on the table, he got up and the paper was floating on the side, which was blown by the Flash when he traveled through time and space. He let Batman form the future positive alliance and also strengthened the position of the backbone of Batman jl) Luther was on Krypton The visions in the petri dish of the spaceship and the whispers to Batman in the prison directly predicted the plot of the Steppenwolf in zsjl coming to earth to collect the three mother boxes, and the appearance of the human mother box in the making of steel bones video directly shocked me. span
To mention my impression of the dceu movies after Man of Steel, I always feel that dc movies have a certain threshold for watching movies, especially bvs and zsjl, the length and dark pictures and plots and even characters are destined for their audience. It will not be as wide as the more popcorn and lighthearted movies on the mcu next door. Fortunately, there are not many dc fans, and the movies that fans are satisfied with and recognized by ordinary audiences are not impossible at the moment (Zha Dao these movies are considered satisfactory to fans. , I have always felt that the director Zha, who was born in commercials, values artistry and slightly heavy tones are very suitable for dc) With our increasing pursuit of cultural life and aesthetic fatigue, it is not easy to like pure popcorn movies anymore. In the superhero movies of pure popcorn, the depth and praise coexist in the movies almost all of them are adaptations of dc, such as the dark knight trilogy, watchmen, V (three real comic ceilings in my heart) Constantine, etc. ( 00 years ago, bat and super have become classics in film history. As a movie fan and dc fan, I hope that dceu's future movies can maintain its dark style and depth of story. I have never thought that mcu and dceu are opposites, and I am especially disgusted by some extreme fans. A mature and diverse film market needs not only films that can easily convey positive energy, but also films that can be thought-provoking after watching them. Personally, I prefer the latter
