re: 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice': Jason Momoa Says 'F--k Marvel'

I don't think DC knew what to make this movie about until people started reacting to the destruction of Metropolis like it was a big deal Supes let that happen. I don't think it occurred to them the staggering loss of life and city wide destruction would be what people talked about the most. So they basically stumbled upon a plot device for Batman to get involved. I just don't feel like it was on purpose. I think they were going for an "edgier" feel, and created the impetus for the next movie's conflict on accident. If that makes sense.

Perfect sense. They really didn't think this shite through and tried to make it the exact opposite of Superman Returns in every sense of the word. They succeeded, but to the film's detriment. It is the antithesis to Superman Returns, but it's just mindless violence. From what I've heard behind the scenes, the only person who knew it was a bad idea for Superman to kill Zod was Christopher Nolan himself, but I'm guessing they took none of his advice and he had minimal impact on this film. They just tried to make it "The Dark Knight: Superman Edition", but they didn't have a clue why that wouldn't work, especially right out of the gates.

And now they're jacking off on the corpse of "The Dark Knight Returns" simply because Batman fights Superman and it's probably the second most popular comic of all time next to Watchmen. They clearly don't understand why that comic works, or they wouldn't even think of bringing that up this soon.
