Batman v Superman Analysis: A measured response


I never really expected to make more responses on this blog. Especially in English. But it just so happens, that I found the perfect material for this one.
DC movie fanbase has been on my mind for quite a while now, and I actually intended to write someday an article about them in particular, but I couldn’t really find a perfect material for such article. There wasn’t really a worthy attempt to make a serious breakdown of DCEU films by any of their fans.
Fortunately, I finally got it. This little gem, written by Scott Lerer, was found by me accidentally, when the author came into Dan Olson’s mentions, to accuse him of “not understanding filmmaking”. When I asked Scott, if he understands it himself, he decided to tell me that he wrote an entire analysis of “Batman v Superman”, where, apparently, all his deep knowledge of cinema should be especially evident.
It ended up being one of the most misguided, hilariously bad attempts at a serious film analysis made by someone, who clearly doesn’t have a strong footing in neither film criticism, nor filmmaking.
This is gonna be a lengthy one, folks, and yeah, I’ll admit, I’m doing it mostly for fun. But I actually think, that this response will provide a good insight on the problems with DCEU fanbase, and maybe some other things.
So, let’s do this thing!
