Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Inciting Incident 1: The showdown between Superman and General Zod in Metropolis (the climax of the film "Superman: Man of Steel") brought a huge disaster to the center of the Metropolis, with satellites and spaceships falling, and a large number of houses collapsing, which was affected There is the Bruce Wayne Metropolitan branch. The first official appearance of Superman resulted in the destruction of the Venn Company building in the Metropolis and the death of almost all the employees of the company in a devastating battle. Bruce Wayne looked up from the ruins and glared at Superman streaking across the sky. This is Bruce Wayne's motivating event, where Superman comes with death (a huge loss), which means very negative value. Zero Hour (Superman vs. General Zod) upset the balance of Bruce Wayne's life. As Alfred said, a god descended from the sky and made man cruel. He wants to restore the balance of the world and solve the appearance of Superman. (The Zero Hour Incident also inspired Rex Luthor) Inspiring Incident 2: News reports Gotham City's Batman branded a prisoner he captured. Clark Kent wants to report on the excavation. He considers Batman's actions to be extremely immoral. Employees of Bruce Wayne Co., whose feet were disabled due to a zero-hour incident, climbed onto the Metropolis Superman statue and spray-painted "pseudo-gods." Clark Kent saw the news on TV on the Daily Planet. This is Superman's Inciting Incident, and it continues one of the themes of Superman: Man of Steel, how Superman (Kryptonian) fits into this (human) world. progress entanglement Wayne's progress entanglement In order to deal with Superman, Wayne began to prepare countermeasures. One of them was to find a way to get (snatch) the huge kryptonite that Luthor had shipped in from the Indian Ocean. To this end, he first attended Luther's party and met reporter Clark Kent. His attempt to steal Luthor's information is intercepted by Diana (real identity Wonder Woman) halfway through. Secondly, he robbed Luthor's kryptonite halfway in the batmobile at the port terminal, but in front of his imminent success, the appearance of Superman stopped him from moving and gave him a warning, prohibiting him from moving again. Wayne finds Diana, obtains the information on Luthor that he had previously stolen and stole the kryptonite from the Luthor Company (this is Luthor's arrangement). Superman's progress entanglement Clark Kent visited Gotham City to learn about Batman's specific actions. He knew Bruce's identity at the party invited by Luthor and wanted to question him in person as a reporter. The photos Luthor sent him suggested that any prisoner branded with a bat would be tortured or even murdered in prison. He decided to come forward as Superman to stop Batman's actions. He attended the Met's hearing on Superman but an explosion occurred, killing everyone involved. For this reason, he stopped appearing, discussed with his mother, climbed the mountain to recall his father, and wondered whether "Superman" was a false dream of a Kansas farmer, and whether he could bring hope to mankind. Crisis Bruce Wayne was thoroughly incensed by the explosion of Superman's warning to him and the Superman hearing directed and arranged by Luthor. According to Luthor, he developed the Kryptonite Spear and Kryptonite Smoke, and he prepared to physically destroy Superman by force. He set up the venue in Gotham City and turned on the bat signal. Luthor uses Louis Lane to lure Superman, kidnap Superman's mother and force him to fight Batman. There's nothing Superman can do, but he decides to explain the ins and outs to Bruce Wayne. (Luther single-handedly directed the play of Batman vs. Superman, constantly bringing negative news to both parties, inspiring each other's anger and hatred, and preparing Batman with a kryptonite spear to kill Superman (demon)) Climax Climax 1: When Batman defeats Superman by force and intends to slaughter Superman, because Superman begs him to save his mother (the mother's name is the same), he finds himself like the gangster who killed his parents in the alley. In the climax, he shifts from extremely negative anger and hatred of Superman to empathy and understanding. This is Bruce Wayne's value-meaning shift. And Superman's strong disagreement with Wayne turned into a reconciliation between the two at this time.
Climax 2: Luthor sees Batman fail, and in order to completely wipe Superman from Earth, he creates the Monster Doomsday. In order to solve this monster that endangers all mankind, Superman sacrificed himself and perished with Doomsday, and answered the question that plagued him how to face the human world. He sacrificed himself as the Son of God to save mankind. In Zack Snyder's work, Superman carries imagery of Jesus. The ending Two funerals were held across the country and in a small Kansas town to bury Superman. Bruce Wayne realized that he had misunderstood Superman before and after, that he had failed Superman, and decided to call Diana (Wonder Woman), Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg to form the Justice League. He has a premonition that a great crisis is coming...
