RE: DC Versus Marvel: The Difference in Storytelling
The superman-batman fight was pulled out of The Dark Knight.
Which is fight over ideologies. Exactly like the Captain America movie.
But, DC left out ... like everything that made The Dark Knight so powerful.
Sure we wanted to see Batman vs Superman... but, without the backstory, it is a couple of teenagers shouting, "no, you did it."
It is very sad.
But, like The Watchmen, you cut too much of the back story out, and you are left with nothing. And there were pages in between chapters in the book that could have been turned into entire movies unto themselves.
Or, you could watch The Watchmen (light), The Incredibles (where they still had to cut it way down)
Oh yeah, they left out all kinds of key tools and even subplot (Lex Luthor was supposed to be an old friend/turned enemy of Clark Kent) and that aspect would be used for more dramatization as Superman is already clashing with Batman.
That's an excellent remark about The Dark Night, it is as if that movie and the Dawn of Justice one comes from totally different planets.
Take the depth of the villain for example, on one side we had Bane, and we had the Joker (from the other Nolan's Batman movie)... In Dawn of Justice, we have this:
" I smash!" haha... That's the storytelling depth of the arch-villain that they all assemble to fight.
Btw, you got a great point about cutting too much of the backstory out. I may even add Suicide Squad there, since they fast-forwarded through some awesome stuff.
Thanks for the awesome and engaging comment!!
