After the events of Man of Steel the people are divided about Superman. For some people Superman is a hero and for other is an alien that can destroy the world in any moment. For the side that believe that Superman can be lethal for the humanity is Lex Luthor. Lex, an eccentric and psychotic genius thinks that humanity needs a defence against Superman. Is for that reason that with bribery to some politicians achieve access to the General Zod's ships and very rare mineral that can be damage the kryptonian cells produced by the destruction of the World Engine Machine.
In a parallel events, Bruce Wayne also believes that Superman is very dangerous to the world. Many Bruce's friends died while Superman and General Zod was fighting in Gotham City. For him, Superman is a risk for the world because with his power can dominate the entire world. In one of his investigations discovers the Lex Luthor's plan to gain access to the rare mineral that can be a weapon against Superman. Is when, during a terrorist attack during a Senate interrogation to Superman occurred and explosion killing all people excepts the Man of Steel, then Bruce Wayne decided take action and assaults Lexcorp to obtain the mineral to confronts Superman. But the Lex intentions are more to have access to the Kryptonian technology. The combat between the Dark Knight and Superman is only the beginning of a Lex Luthor terrible plan to dominate the entire world.
Batman: The fans and critics had many doubts around the capabilities of Ben Affleck to interpret the Batman. I think doubts are vanished now. Ben’s Batman is the best character in the movie and the most reliable interpretation of the Dark Night ever.
Superman: Vulnerable. Clark confronts many issues about the meaning of Superman for the World. Although he believes that he is doing good to the world, the evil is looking in the darkness and is moving pieces to bring Superman in a battle that can cost his life.
Wonder Woman: I loved it. Gal Gadot made an excellent job with the amazonian warrior. Diana begins with a mystery character that have some interest in Lex Luthor. The most interesting point in the movie is when Bruce shows Diana, not only that Luthor knows who is she, also who are the “others” meta humans….
Lex Luthor: The worst thing of the movie. Simply over acting character. Really I was waiting a Lex Luthor more near to the comics. I think the actor tried to a mix between the Joker and took something of Lex Luthor from the comics, but I think that he had failed.
In overall the movie is not bad, but neither is perfect. I think the major weakness of the movie is the introduction to many characters at once. It’s clear that DC is in some disadvantage against Marvel and his Phases. But the Marvel success is about in the introduction of his characters in an individual manner and linking the movies with the Avengers. DC decided make a major step and present his 3 icones to open the door directly to the Justice League movie. Despite of this, I think that Zack Snyder did a good in a challenge to manage a movie of this scale. I know many fans were waiting something more big that the plot of this movie. But we need to remember that this movie is an introduction to something big. Justice League Movie is coming and many other DC characters will be presented in the next years. Without mention the final Boss that all we know: Darkseid.
