Re: So I've seen Batman V Superman
I agree with you on Superman. Even though I have never been a fan of him this movie manages to make me feel sorry for him, by taking the hostility and fear for him in Man of Steel to a new level. I respect him for choosing to sacrifice himself despite all these, more than the sacrifice made by Bale Batman in TDK.
As a Batman fan, I also find this more cynical, ruthless version of him satisfying and refreshing. One can see how Alfred's quote describes him so concisely. The scene when he realized Clark has a mother named Martha is quite powerful. It's almost as if he realized Superman, an alien, also has a human side and not as much as a threat he thought to be, realizing he lost his sense out of rage and fear. When he directed his rage towards the kidnappers to save Martha Kent it feels like he's partly driven by his frustration for his inability to save his mom in the past and was therefore determined to prevent the loss of another "Martha" at all cost.
