@saintwildcard: Oh, this wasn't a jab at you, friend. This was meant for those who keep blindly praising the CW Superman for no greater reason than him being a carbon copy of Chris Reeve or a "breath of fresh air" from the DCEU Superman. Speaking of whom,
The theatrical cut makes it clear that WB wanted more Batman, but the Ultimate Cut, AKA, the REAL movie, makes it clear that it's more about Superman than Batman. Batman was just a guy overly obsessed with Superman and spent the two most important fights ever running, yelling, hiding, and standing idly by while the real hero (Superman) gave it his all. Suicide Squad was only founded in the film of the same name BECAUSE of Superman. Batman winning a meaningless fight against Superman has no bearing whatsoever. He's still the weakest, most ineffective and useless hero in the DCEU. That was made pretty clear...
More does not equal better. The addition of the Clark Kent investigation only made it schizophrenic than it already was. Plus how everyone of his plotlines was handled was still shit. From the "Him VS The World" to his relationship with Lois and the build up to his fight with Batman (which by the way, the movie had to force him to fight in the most unimaginative way). Plus his character performed character regression as opposed to progression. The guy who tackled Zod for hitting his mother and destroyed that dudes truck for being a dick was turned into a major pussy. I'm tired of rehashing my points from previous debates with other people, so just go see these threads to see why this movie hurt me.
Saint Reboots- Batman V Superman
Why I'm Not Hyped For Justice League
Screen time is the real measure of what's important (Actions speak louder than words), and Batman got some while Superman got none in SS. And if you wanna get really critical, Amanda Waller forming a team with a girl with a bat, a guy with some boomerangs and a guy who can shoot well to take down a Superman level threat was beyond idiotic (I enjoyed the movie but come on). Plus arguably Batman is creating the JL which is much bigger than what SS did. It's putting him front and center of their biggest team. I would have been fine with it had Superman been treated right in BvS and went out like an icon, but instead he went out like a bitch.
