A very fine video essay about the film:
Spoilers Superman (2025) Grade and Discussion
- Thread starter Nerys Myk
- Start date
The only people giving so-called Snyderbros so much attention are those who--by their own self-deceptive lie--claim to not obsessively seek out their presence/posts. Amusing how some cannot simply focus on Gunn's underwhelming movie, but rant and whine about another film. Equally amusing is how some were so gosh darn giddy at early (baseless) predictions of the Gunn film passing 700 million
and when it became clear that was not going to happen by any stretch of the imagination (and it failed to even match the film they cannot stop squelaing about), the predicted excuses and goal post moving commenced. 
Nah, I don't even look for them and see them everywhere related to this movie.
They're rampant wherever the movie's discussed on Twitter. Entitled angry boys with delusions.
Their latest campaign brainstorm is that they can will Warners to "sell the Snyderverse" to Netflix. They seem to actually believe that's a real piece of IP that the studio owns.
What can be done with with people so divorced from reality?

The MOS and BVS had their moments but the MOS really got superman wrong. He literally destroyed metropolis trying to stop zod and than murdered zod. Could easily have found a way not to destroy metropolis and not murder zod. Also the Clark of MOS looked more like superman than Clark in his civilian "disguise". Batman in BVS was a pretty good version of batman but he hsd his flaws as well.
Like all the murdering he did.
Edit: To be clear, some Batmen don't have a no-kill code and that is what it is. But the BvS Batman is a weird hybrid who will kill with abandon (and guns!) but also just brand criminals so that they can get murdered by someone else, or shoot gas tanks when he could just shoot the guy. (And kills random henchmen but not the Joker?!) It's like they couldn't make up their mind if he was a straight-up murderer or not.

TBF, I thought it was pretty clear in-story that BvS Bruce was supposed to have suffered a loss of moral compass when we find him, such that his behavior was more extreme than it had been historically.
"I'm going to brand hungry people for being poor, while dressed in a bullet proof costume that costs 15 million dollars and driving a car that costs 160 million dollars."
If Bruce was beginning to doubt the choices that he had made up to the point that led him into this crossroads between a God with an IQ of 90 and a sneaky manipulative Trillionaire, it's possible that his moral compass was finally beginning to right out.
My point isn't that he's a killer, it's that he is shown in a very inconsistent manner in the film.
Well, I mean, it isn’t like blowing up the guy’s gas tank is some kind of avoidance of killing him. It’s just killing him in a more flamboyant manner.
And branding people so others will kill them is another sadistic flourish. That’s basically the stuff of Gotham supervillains. (Though I believe it’s suggested that Luthor is behind the prison killings. Never made much sense to me that criminals would kill other criminals in service to Batman.)

Yes. So why do it when all it does is increase the chance that Martha will be killed? (By either the guy or the explosion.) If you're gonna kill the guy who's about to execute Martha, just shoot the dude in the face and be done with it.
It's presented (IMO, obv) almost as though he's intentionally avoiding shooting the man directly.
Way back, the Phantom would mark criminals by punching them hard with with his fist that was wearing a ring with a skull emblem on it, but this is so that nice people knew who the dangerous criminals were, and might avoid being suckered and victimized.
It's possible that the Criminal Underworld noticed that Batman was keeping tabs on anyone who was branded with his sigil, or the police instantly profile any persons who are branded as a nogoodnick about to commit a crime.
You both forget - Brainiac should already have the Bottle City of Kandor <--- A miniturized Kryptonian city he scooped up before the krypton exploded.
