BvS - Extended (spoilers) - A couple of things

Some spoilers.


I'm just getting around to watching the movie again - the Extended this time. A couple of things:

1. The extended is much better than the theatrical - but it is still a mess and completely uneven in spots. I just think it takes more viewings to get all those spots straightened out. I'm ready to see a continuation of the story now (much more than before) but still not thrilled.

2. Luther is still a weak link, but on second viewing was not as bas as the first time I watched it - it's just a different version. He is not really an egomaniac like in most versions, here, he is more phychopathic.

3. Maybe I'm late to the party here but does anyone else think the ring is the key to bringing back Superman? It was obviously highly emphasized in the last few frames - would explain the Flash scene in Batman's half-dream (saying Lois is the key) and why the dirt rose from when she threw it on the casket at the end (she was wearing the ring in the hand she used to throw the dirt).

4. Since Clark's showing was open casket, does this mean Clark Kent is dead forever in the movie versions? So, no more alter once he is brought back?

5. Is Lex Luthor in a Batman movie IF the rumors are true and it is set in Arkham? Batman did mention Luthor being transferred there at the end (in another uneven scene placed into the Clark funeral scene).
