Someone in the DC creative team wanted us to quickly forget Snyder's Cyborg, instead they created the worse Cyborg that can't compete with any TV or comic version ever. I remembered I mentioned this some weeks ago. My guess is that Geoff Johns is behind this creative decision. Infact, he and Greg Berlanti are the ones running all the DCTV decisions.
you deserve an award for this comment. Pu7pl3 give me on e award meme.

Even Snyder said the same thing about Geoff Johns.

Like I have often said, I have lost faith in DC and WB. All the produced films since Wonder Woman have been very average, direct and unchallenging. I don't expect much from them again. So far, Shazam is the worse of them all. The movie was more like a TV serie episode, even worse than that.

black label is the age brackets, DC is planning to add vertigo characters. But black label has received backlash after Lee Drew batmans @#$" in Batman damned. Even Batman damned volume 3 had to be sent back for re editing because of adult contents. So vertigo is gone.

The recent Batman last Knight on Earth is what saved black label, Superman year one was trash

You are saying nonsense, Black label imprint would have three age bracket, DC zoom(0 - 12)years, DC main continuity (13 and above) and the vertigo imprint (17 and above). Nothing is changing except the fact that it won't be called vertigo imprint any more all the books remains intact

Black label was made for more matured contents, so how can DC zoom and DC ink be under black label? huh

I'm late to the discussion but bvs is not a failure sir. Only mega minds can comprehend it. I've watched over 20 times. The problem is that you are not familiar with the storyline.
Since you have a mega mind and also familiar with the storyline, kindly explain to us how BVS is not a failure?

I'll try and summarize it as I can


The beginning of movie started from where zod and superman were fighting, which they ended up destroying Gotham, batman was unable to save maybe his worker. He was mad and he vowed to stop superman.

Then comes a scene where superman was manipulate to attack a desert location where his gf was.

The woman witness testify again superman.

Superman read about batman violent vigilantism in Gotham.


Lex luthor manipulated Clark to attack Bruce

While this was going on Lex luthor has already embedded his DNA inside the body of dead zod.

Batman suspected him, hack luthor firm.

Batman and superman fought in which batman won and superman was holding back. They settle the fight due to both of them mother bearing Martha.

Lex luthor monsters is already waking up..

Then both of them with wonder woman defeated the monster in which superman died. Lex Luthor went to jail.

Im not good with summarizing. Let me copy wiki for you
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by LarryBee1k: 5:03pm On Jun 23, 2019
BATMAN VS SUPERMAN

Eighteen months after the battle between
Superman and General Zod in Metropolis ,[N 1] Superman has become a controversial figure. Billionaire Bruce Wayne, who has operated in
Gotham City as the vigilante Batman for twenty years, sees Superman as an extraterrestrial threat to humanity. After learning of Batman's form of justice, Clark Kent (Superman's civilian identity) seeks to expose him via Daily Planet articles. Wayne learns that Russian weapon trafficker Anatoli Knyazev has been contacting

LexCorp mogul Lex Luthor . Meanwhile, Luthor unsuccessfully tries to persuade Senator June Finch to allow him to import kryptonite retrieved from the Indian Ocean following Zod's terraforming attempt, claiming he wants to maintain it as a deterrent against future Kryptonian and metahuman threats. He instead makes alternative plans with Finch's subordinate and gains access to Zod's body and the Kryptonian scout ship.

Bruce attends a gala at LexCorp to steal encrypted data from the company's mainframe, but has it taken from him by an antiquities dealer named Diana Prince; she eventually returns it to Bruce when she is unable to access the information. While decrypting the drive, Bruce dreams of a post-apocalyptic world where he leads a group of rebels against an evil Superman. He is awakened from his dream by an unidentified person, appearing through a portal, who warns him of Lois Lane 's crucial role in the future, and urges him to find "the others" before vanishing. [N 2] Upon fully decrypting the drive, Wayne discovers Luthor's files on several metahuman individuals across the globe. One of them is Prince herself, who is shown in a photo taken during World War I . Wayne admits to Alfred Pennyworth that he plans to steal the kryptonite to weaponize it, should it become necessary to fight Superman.

At a Congressional hearing, as Finch questions Superman on the validity of his actions, a bomb smuggled by Luthor goes off and kills everyone present but Superman. Believing he should have detected the bomb, and frustrated by his failure to save them, Superman goes into self-imposed exile. Batman breaks into LexCorp and steals the kryptonite. In preparation to battle Superman, he builds a powered exoskeleton, creates a kryptonite grenade launcher , and a kryptonite-tipped spear. Meanwhile, Luthor enters the Kryptonian ship and accesses a vast technology database accumulated from over 100,000 worlds.

To bring Superman out of exile, Luthor kidnaps Lois and Martha Kent, Clark's adoptive mother. Lex throws Lois off the LexCorp building, but Superman quickly saves her and goes on to confront Luthor, who reveals to Superman that he manipulated Superman and Batman against each other by fueling their mutual distrust. Luthor demands that Superman kill Batman in exchange for Martha's life. Superman tries to explain the situation to Batman, but instead Batman attacks Superman and eventually subdues him with the aid of a kryptonite gas. Before Batman can kill Superman with the spear, Superman urges Batman to "save Martha", whose name is also shared with Batman's mother, confusing him long enough for Lois to arrive and explain what Superman meant. Realizing how far he has fallen and unwilling to let an innocent die, Batman rescues Martha, while Superman confronts Luthor on the scout ship.


Luthor executes his backup plan, unleashing a genetically engineered monster with DNA from both Zod's body and his own blood. [N 3] Diana Prince arrives unexpectedly; revealing her metahuman nature, she joins forces with Batman and Superman to eliminate the creature. When they are all outmatched, Superman realizes its vulnerability to kryptonite, and retrieves the spear to kill it. After impaling it with the spear, in the creature's last moments, it kills Superman, who himself has been weakened by exposure to kryptonite.


Luthor is arrested and Batman confronts him in prison, warning Luthor that he will always be watching him. Luthor gloats that Superman's death has made the world vulnerable to powerful alien threats. A memorial is held for Superman in Metropolis. Clark is also declared dead, with various friends and family members including Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince attending his funeral in Smallville . Martha gives an envelope to Lois, which contains an engagement ring from Clark. After the funeral, Bruce expresses his regrets to Diana about how he failed Superman. He reveals to her that he plans to form a team of metahumans, starting with those from Luthor's files, to help protect the world in Superman's absence. After they leave, the dirt atop Clark's coffin levitates.

Like hulk616 has said, the question is how BVS is not a failure?

Let me make it easier.

Use these parameters to explain how BVS is not a failure;

1. One of the all time biggest weekend to weekend drop despite massive opening.

2. Characters look in comparison to the comics(e.g Lex Luther, doomsday) (I can still pardone this)

3. Did it fulfill market expectations despite having 3 most iconic superheroes?

4. Was the target of hitting at least $1bn using the 3 most iconic superhero characters met?

5. Death of Superman by doomsday even when people of metropolis are yet to love him. What was the point?

6. Script with massive plot holes (e.g calling batman the bat of Gotham instead of Batman)

7. Characters build up e.g what was the character build up for wonder woman in the film apart from them showing her face in a picture?


I can go on and on but let me stop here. So I await your explanation

It made close to a billion. So it's not a failure.

Plus the story line is super interesting.

With 3 most iconic superhero characters ever present in this film, it should be making close to $1.5bn - $2bn and not close to $1bn.

Also, if the storyline is interesting, why did it have one of the biggest weekend to weekend drop of all time despite the massive opening?

I recently watched Shazam and something kept bugging me about the movie.
The kid who played shazam was so different from Zachary Levi.
The kid appeared to be quite stoic and reserved, yet when he changed to Zachary Levi it was almost like he became a different character. He was more like an average class-clown type of kid - a vibe we never got when he was in his child form.

You could argue that he became different because he now has super powers, yet, when he turns to a kid, he goes back to his old Self.
I found it very difficult to believe that those two were playing the same person.

*************
I would say that the best part of the movie was the end credit with the animation. It was quite funny and meta.

**************
Al in all, the movie was quite inoffensive, average and highly forgettable. I seriously doubt anyone will be viewing this movie more than once.

@the bolded, You have said it quite well, dude! The movie was like a typical CW DC series, except with perhaps much better CGI.
