Bruce Wayne, zillionaire, his ENTIRE motivation is guilt from being baited by Lex into getting Clark Kent killed.

And he lets Martha Kent's house go into foreclosure?

Having watched this little trilogy (MoS, BvS, JL) all back to back, I kind of do see the "vision" here, and it's not awful. The first two needed some editing, surprisingly, this one, the longest one, kind of did better as a long movie.

A lot of set up going on for some sort of Legion of Doom or Darkseid moment, but it's not clear if any of that will ever happen thanks to Barry's shenanigans in the Flash.

Aquaman is kind of a sourpuss in this and it's dumb.

Also, in another world, Ryan Reynolds was part of this as the Green Lantern, which could have been fun.

It's not quite as bad as I remember it being, but there is a lot that should have been, could have been cut, to streamline things a bit.

Batman feels like a bit is an obsessive psycho. Plus he spends the entire movie hating Superman for all the collateral damage from Man of Steel, then leads the big bad, right to Gotham. I guess Gotham is full of criminal scum and doesn't matter? Where did Gotham come from anyway, suddenly it's right across the river from Metropolis?

Jor-El and Zod both want exactly the same thing at the start of the film. Except Zod wants to do it without the inept old guard leadership that is going to die anyway in the planet's destruction that they themselves caused.

Somehow, Zod is the bad guy here.

Also, they "punish" Zod by sending him off into Space Jail, safely OFF the literally self destructing planet.

Miles Teller sure likes to play the well meaning asshole trope doesn't he?
