Snyder's Batman feels like the type of Batman that the LEGO movie made fun of with the "DARKNESS! NO PARENTS!!" song.

Ugh, that "Superman joins Darkseid because Lois dies" thing is just another reminder that the entire idea behind Injustice has gotten worse and worse over time as people misunderstood it more and more.

"...We must never use stairs!" "I warned you, Bro! I warned you!"

If there's even a 1% chance someone comments asking about the next History of Power Rangers, then we have to take it as an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY to delay it!

Even if you put all the heroism talk aside, Clark does owe the world something, that’s where he keeps all his stuff!

The fundamental problem with these movies is everything about them screams "NOT YOUR GRANDPA'S SUPERMAN" but the plots only work if you assume he is. It's not that Superman isn't Chris Reeve. It's that the plots hinge on is treating him like he is Reeve.

The Piss jar was critical to that scene! Without the guaranteed mini-crits, how could Lex Luther be sure his attack would do enough damage?

That Doctor Who speech is one of my favourite things in any medium. There is so much value in just being kind. How is that debatable? What greater argument can there possibly for doing good, that actually believes in even the possibility of goodness? It should be enough. If you have it in you to be kind, just be kind.

FAT GRANDMAS OFFICIALLY A CHARACTER!

Only now I have realized that this version of Superman is more in line with what a classic Lex Luthor's consideration of Superman is: an alien so above all concepts to the point that his existence haunts society and appears as a god or a devil instead of as a person, an existential threat, something to fear or venerate, certainly not to relate and certainly less to be inspired.

Zack Snyder: "You're living in a dream world!". Superman: "Good! Dreams save us. Dreams lift us up and transform us into something better. And, on my soul, I swear that until my dream of a world where dignity, honor, and justice are the reality we all share, I'll never stop fighting! Ever!".

To paraphrase Moviebob, this movie is simultaneously saying "Hey, this ain't your father's Superman or Batman!" and "Don't you know Superman and Batman?!" when trying to square away all the out of character moments.

This injustice parallel really does highlight how little Snyder understands Superman. In Injustice, the whole League is more willing to be oppressive. Steve Trevor was a nazi spy who only befriended Diana to steal the lasso of truth, leading her to think humanity's nature is to betray and destroy. Then, Superman's dosed with fear gas into thinking a pregnant Lois is Doomsday, flying her into space, and when she dies, Metropolis is nuked. Superman is tricked into killing his wife, child, and everyone in Metropolis including his closest friends. And even THEN, he's only SLOWLY turned into a dictator after being influenced by Sinestro, Wonder Woman, and Black Adam. And even with all THAT, he still is doing it so that humanity is safe from itself. In the Snyderverse, because batman is a few seconds late to save Lois, Superman joins with Darkseid to destroy the world.

Seeing Zach Snyder's Superman doing mundane superhero things like rescuing a cat from a tree or stopping a common mook on the streets would be like finding a video rental store still in buisness. Rare but a real treat to behold and something I couldn't help but support if given the chance.

The 1% line is even worse because he's quoting Dick Cheney.

This is why I like All Might. Regardless of how scared or worried or in pain he is, he ALWAYS smiles when he rescues people because he notes sometimes when things are at their worst, you just need to see a smiling face to assure you it'll all be okay.

18:43 Oh yeah, funny thing about that, the term "DC Extended Universe" was _made up as a joke_ by someone at Entertainment Weekly... and only as of mid last year, HBO Max used it officially to refer to the movies. In other words, the DCEU is literally a joke that got taken seriously.

DCEU Superman: First appearance is against an alien army causing massive destruction. Constantly looks bored/sad when helping people. CW Superman: First appearance is saving a kid from a falling car, picking up his cap and gushing about the nice (Golden Age) suit his mom made for him. Always has a smile and kind word for folks when he saves them.

You know, as much as people keep dumping on the Joss Whedon Justice League, at least that movie had in the beginning Superman acting like how Superman should. Ignoring the CGI erased mustache, it had Superman just talking to some kids like a normal person. Rather than him looking depressed and sullen, he actually showed some charm and humanity by casually answering their questions for a vlog. But the Snyder cut took that out, and decided to put Superman in an all black costume(because we don't have enough black colors) and also removed another scene of him actually being Superman with him triumphantly returning in full costume to fight Steppnwolfe. Instead we added in yet another scene of him posing with Jesus symbolism.

Ironically enough, the most superman this superman has been is the ending in shazam. Also christ, i fucking wiiiish henry cavill got to actually BE superman because he genuinely cares about this character and this role.

What bothers me about the guy with no legs is he was a perfect set up for Metalo. Think about it, he was crippled in Superman’s fight with Zod and blames Superman for it, his vandalizing the memorial gets Lex’s attention right after he discovered and obtained kryptonite, and Lex offers to help by giving him his legs back and a chance at revenge in the form of the Metalo body. That would have followed a lot better and been more satisfying to me than blowing the guy up and moving on with their horrible mashup of The Dark Night Returns and The Death of Superman and, “btw, we’re making a Justice League movie.” This whole movie is nothing but wasted potential!

I still think Wonder Woman, Shazam and Aquaman should be given a chance. They're really fun movies, and they're not as directly connected to the Snyder stuff as you may think.

Several other reviewers made this point, so I'm just re-iterating it here: This movie (along with its hardcore, die-hard fans) doesn't really know the difference between "Adult" and "Mature." Sure, in some contexts, they're one and the same, and they're treated as synonyms. However, a movie can be adult while not being very mature (cases in point, the slew of "Rated-R-for-Raunchy" comedies, like Revenge of the Nerds). While some movies geared towards kids can deal with mature themes (The entire first act of Up). BVS is a 13-year-old's idea of what "mature" means, and in this case, it's "all the stuff in an M-rated video game." It's the cinematic equivalent of watching someone who just turned 21 go on a bender. They *THINK* they're being "mature" by doing all these "adult" things, but the dramatic irony is, it's making them look more immature as a result.

Ben Affleck was so wasted. You can tell he's *trying* to put on a good performance but the material he's given just simply doesn't allow for it. ...also I mean the Zebra Suit would add some color to the film. Just saying.

It’s been said that if you can’t imagine Batman comforting a frightened dying child, you’ve written the Punisher in a stupid hat. Well if you can’t imagine your superman saving a cat that’s stuck up a tree, you’ve written a Dr Manhattan who isn’t blue.

I love the piss jar detail because his response to her using that metaphor against him apparently prompted him to PISS IN A JAR and then do what he did in the movie. That's just...that's Eobard Thawne levels of Hilariously over the top pettiness. I'm almost suprised they didn't have him steal 40 cakes as its really something I could see this version of lex doing

W O W That plan for the Justice League trilogy is *rough*

Linkara in the 10 years Ive been watching you I haven't laughed as hard as I did with you yelling at that Pikachu plushie. That took me completely off guard Edit: Then you bring back Fat Grandma, This is an amazing episode!

“We don’t actually know it’s his pee” Like it’s better if it was Lex soliciting strangers for their pee.

Honestly, I'm very impressed that Lex Luthor knows the art of Jarate.

I have gotten into an argument with a Snyder fan about the scene of Batman killing people. I don't get what makes people think that is somehow deep or insightful. Batman is goes out of his way to cause as much damage as he can, this causes a conflict Superman, and it doesn't go anywhere. It's just there for the sake of violence, but Snyder fans act like its deep. That person also went and compared it to Obi-Wan slicing a man's arm off in the bar. Yes they both resorted to killing, but Obi-Wan was a hero fighting in a war. And yet he tried to talk down the situation and only drew his lightsaber when the idiot pulled a gun.

The funny thing is that according to Snyder's plan, he was supposed to become a" real " Superman only in the final of the whole story, after Batman would have died. And according to Snyder, the dead Robin is Dick Grayson. And yes, Wonder Woman, Shazam and Aquaman are much more positive and well-developed films that can really give out a good drama and are not ashamed of the fact that they are made from comics. So I strongly recommend that you watch them.

I'm not even a superman fan and that "you don't owe the world anything line made me facepalm with how stupid it was. Even I get why that's a moronic line that spits in the face of what superman is and I am so glad you used Capaldi's speech to highlight it.

My entire problem with _Man of Steel_ is that it never makes clear to me _why_ Clark is Superman. Because Jor-El said so? Why is that more important to Clark than how Jonathan and Martha raised him? What was the moment that made him decide helping people outweighed the costs? Because he’s a Jesus metaphor?

I don´t know what version would be more absurdly funny. Lex filling that jar himself or him walking up to one of his henchmen and telling him to do it.

I think people miss the most obvious question about Batman's change of attitude: if he now kills... how is the Joker still alive?

I like to call the kind of writing in this film "take me seriously, Dad" geek cinema. Where someone takes something youthful and timeless and makes in randomly miserable and dark in a vein attempt to be taken seriously with lazy story telling. If what you love is worth loving, you don't need to change it to prove how much it deserves to be loved. Dumbass.

"I don't think Henry Cavill's a bad Superman, it's just the overall story keeps failing to let him BE Superman." There it is. That's the root of every Superman-related problem in every single god damn DC movie since Man of fuckin' Steel. Because y'know what? I LOVE Henry Cavill as Superman! I love him in this role! You listen to him in interviews and he GETS Superman, replying to questions about Superman being boring and not cool with replies like, "how is doing the right thing not cool?" And for god's sakes, I wish he got to be Superman. He didn't, he was... some guy in a onesie with a Golden Age Superman S slapped on the chest. And in Man of Steel? It kind of feels like Superman is in there, fighting against an ENTIRE MOVIE that just wants him to be Space Jesus, when he just wants to be Superman. He shows shades of trying to be the Superman we know and love, but it gets lost in this toxic soup that makes up the entire body of Snyder's work with DC. And it's depressing.

Why is Linkara losing his temper at a Pikachu plush the most funniest thing ever?

Batman killing Lois seems like they trying to tease an eventual take on Injustice

“It just raises too many questions”..... and even that goofy ass Batman from Schumacher makes more sense than this one.

And now, part 2 of "Linkara V Moarte: Dawn of Miller Time."

Okay so, minor spoiler for Shazam!, but this Superman actually does something VERY similar to that “save the cat” moment. It’s probably too little too late at that point, but it’s still a really nice moment given the characters involved. Just… just watch Shazam! when you get a chance. It’s REALLY good.

26:00-27:20 Q: What does Lex call his minions? A: His pee-ons.

24:10 12th doctor scene is a nice touch, distills everything these 'superheroes' are not

This Batman vs Superman will make much more sense, if we assume that it's actually Crazy Steve vs Bearded Idiot.

Your rants of tranquil fury are so good. They are rare, but your writing and acting are of the kind of quality that make just about every word hit like a brick. Sublime.

The “kid” version is iconic and memorable while the “adult” version is vastly inferior. Do I make a Disney remake joke or a Transformers movie joke?

When the CW show about Superman is better than the movies

Batman: My suit is cool cause I made it myself. Daddy's boy! You got a stupid S on your chest, in case we could forget who you are. Superman: It's my people's symbol for hope. Batman: Hope starts with an H, stupid! Superman: Okay, stop! Batman: Face it. You're lame. Superman: You're wearing eye makeup! Batman: Fuck you! I didn't just inherit my abilities from a different fucking atmosphere! This air makes me strong! Ya fucking nerd. With your nerd hair!

I do appreciate the additions and responses to Linkara's opinions, I really do, but not enough of these comments are about how that Pikachu scene is such a phenomenal follow up to my personal favorite Linkara gag. "I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE PLANNING, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" has the exact same energy as "WHY AM I HOLDING A WEEDLE INSTEAD OF THE COMIC?!" and god I love those stupid sudden and unexpected gags. Fricking solid gold, dude.

Good Lord, that Bruce Kent line is terrible! Anyway, this movie would've been 1000 time better is wheelchair guy became Metalo and replaced Doomszod as the final boss!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who hates the DCEU's foundations. As much as people hate the comparison, when going from Iron Man 1 to The Avengers, the foundation was mostly solid, and audiences knew enough about the characters thanks to how overall faithful their personalities were to establish the MCU going forward. The transition from Man of Steel to Justice League feels like an attempt at deconstructing these characters, these heroes, but a deconstruction only works if you know who these characters are, so to look at the foundation set for Justice League, you get a Superman that doesn't act like Superman and dies in this movie, a Batman that doesn't act like Batman until the end of this movie? Maybe? A Wonder Woman which, credit where it's due, acts like Wonder Woman, 3 cameos that we're supposed to care about, and a stature with three boxes. Throwing in the Snyder Cut, and we get a Joker that doesn't act like the Joker (I am genuinely convinced someone confused Zazz for the Joker). I'm not including the rest of Suicide Squad because they don't matter in Justice League. The whole "It's setting them up to BECOME the heroes we all know and love" doesn't mean much when time that could be spent setting them up as heroes is spent on God symbolism, padding, and drawing out a run time by basically going in circles. The only reason Wonder Woman feels like Wonder Woman is because they made a movie about Wonder Woman, not a movie about how the Greek Gods are dicks and Diana must be burdened to go fight Darkseid by stopping World War 1 which causes the War World to come to Earth.

2:00 - 5:34; I think Linkara summed up how I feel about Zack Snyder's interpretation of Superman and how I feel about Zack Snyder's DC films in general, especially after the Snyder cut.

Thanks for using the Capaldi (12th doctor) clip; not only is that one of the 12th Doctor's finest moments, but it goes to show how Zack Snyder doesn't really understand Superman. His superman always felt cold and callous. To me, Christopher Reeves is Superman; he was kind, caring and always did what was right. Snyder's superman is just...a robot

Your complaints about this Supes not acting like he's supposed to is indicative of why this approach does not work.If your entire plan is basically "These movies are an extended origin story for how Superman starts acting like Superman" you need to make me invested in this character's journey. And the fact is, I'm not. I don't care about this Superman... because he doesn't act like Superman. You want me to go through several movies with this shitty version of this character just to finally get to him SORTA being like him near the very end of your big epic three part Justice League trilogy? No, why can't Superman BE like himself NOW! Don't make us wait five movies until he becomes recognizable! Captain America worked because they trusted him being in character like his comic book counterpart would work. By making Superman's character arc actually BEING him becoming his baseline self, you are essentially telling me you think his original concept, the core of who he is supposed to be... is boring and you'd rather making him a miserable sadsack that has to reach that point. It shows a level of distrust in who Superman is as a character that you have decided you can't just write him as a good person who does good. You have to make him as cynical, downbeat and miserable as everyone else. It's a bad idea for a character arc. You have to make me actually invested in this Superman by making me care about him. I'm not going to be invested in a person who I don't like! And you've made a Superman I don't like and he won't be someone I do like until the very end of a movie that is years into the future. You've decided Superman is only interesting if he's not Superman... what does that say to an audience? What does that say to fans? You're asking me to wait for something that should've been resolved in the first movie! I'm not sticking around for that long, not if I decide this version of this character exists only to drag his fucking feet. Show me why I should care! You never did, Snyder! And here's a point about that montage, it's not just that Superman is bummed out about saving lives. It's that he never talks, reassures or comforts anyone. All we see is people holding him in reverence and fealty. We don't know who these people are, they don't matter, they're just... bugs he has to help. Hell, in the boat dragging scene, there are people on the top of the boat, essentially as small as bugs in the wide shot. The fact is, that montage is a bad example of Superman saving lives. Not just because he seems disinterested and bored, but because every frame seems to reinforce a message of "These ungrateful gnats just do not understand this great God's burden. They should be happy for even the slightest bit of attention he pays them! How dare they expect so much of him! And this voiceover of his critics, how truly this planet doesn't deserve him. Why, he should just shrug them off." This Superman is an Objectivist. That's all that montage proves.

I just like to repeat how this is the man, Snyder, who wants to remake (because it was already done once) an adaption of The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. For those who don't know, it's a bad take on Frank Lloyd Wright being "misunderstood" while everyone else can't see his greatness and prefer the opinions of some critic who liked a novel that didn't use the letter "o" or "e", I forget which. It also has a rape scene, which is a running theme in much of Ayn Rand's books, but it's OK because she ends up with him anyways. Either way, it "climaxes" with a trial in which the Wright knockoff confesses he did in fact blow up and destroy a building that was still under construction, because he designed it, so it was "his". So of course he was "well within his moral rights'' to destroy the building when they changed the designs on him, which in the building trade happens all the time. It's a change order, and owners have the right to make those. So yeah the main character is a rapist-terrorist, our hero, everybody!

I laughed far harder than I should have at the pikachu bit. Just… Gold.

10:49 "Oh, my God... that makes no sense!" God I love that line.

To quote one Angry Joe... 'It's literally across the street!'

I mean, if Linkara is going to bring up World's Finest so will I; while our two heroes get off to a rocky start in that film, their different methodologies setting them at odds...notice how they're still being a little professional about it. Batman warns Superman about the kryptonite even if he is a bit of an ass about it, and Superman listen and takes it seriously (turning up to the Joker's rendezvous in a lead suit). They might not like how the other operates but they still recognise that they're more or less on the same side and are prepared to pool information. They might not like each other (at least at first) but they can still be adults about it and try to cooperate even if its through gritted teeth (again, at first). Compared to that, the Snyder version of the heroes are a pair of grumpy, posturing children throwing a tantrum, unable to even bother understanding why things aren't exactly the way they want them right now. And its just a shame that "claiming to be mature but actually more childish" just sums up Snyder's filmography as a whole

I really like the fact that Batman, the world's greatest detective, has to engage in a high speed chase with the same truck he put a tracker on because he...forgot he did that?

In addition to everything else, it's amazingly bizarre how they decided to make these movies much darker and more depressing than the Marvel movies.

Also, look, I know Superman and Lois are important to each other, but can we stop with the "Oh, the moment Lois dies, Superman will absolutely become a dictator." Yes, there's been good versions of that but like...there's something insidious about the idea the only thing keeping Superman from just taking over this shit is Lois. It sucks for Lois and it sucks for Superman.

It's clearly not just a "you" problem because if if it were the movie would have made the billion dollars it was predicted to make.

Oh, oh, I got one! Lex only did this is because Sen. Finch probably kept bugging him about the "Granny's peach tea" thing off-screen and this was the only way to apPEEse her.

I don't think I've had such a strong "this is NOT the character" reaction since Captain America said "SURRENDER? DO YOU THINK THIS A ON MY MASK STANDS FOR FRANCE!?".

Why would the senator let her key witness go home and not into witness protection

They really went overboard with the Superman as a God angle.

Quick question. If Lex could easily just slip a jar of mystery liquid into the courtroom, why did he sabotage several months if not years worth of disability checks to aggravate the statue tagger into testifying and use his wheelchair to smuggle a bomb into the courtroom?

Don't let this bum you out, ladies and gentlemen. There are good DCEU films out there. Aquaman is silly but action packed and colorful, Wonder Woman is hopeful and spectacular, Shazam is fun and comical, Birds of Prey is silly but fun (especially when Harley Quinn is onscreen), and Wonder Woman 1984 has its moments.

This movie made me physical ill in the theater. No movie ever did this. There were just so many close-ups and transition to close-ups, that i got motion-sick.

Is anyone else sick of grimdark superhero movies? I just want some escapism, damnit!

I wouldn’t want to have a Pikachu plushy in my room if there was a 1% chance it would kill me. I’ve rolled a one on a d100 enough times to not feel safe about that.

The Secretary Of Defense is supposed to be Martian Manhunter but we don't find that out until the Snydercut which just raises more questions about why the hell didn't he help the trinity fight Doomsday or help Superman fight General Zod

The robin costume shows how little zack Snyder actually understands the material the he is using or human emotion generally.

Please give Shazam a chance. It's amazing and way way way more upbeat than everything else in this universe.

I agree with your point Linkara. The dream sequence without the future movies feel out of left feel. I feel it should have been cut or put at the end of the film like a post credit scene.

Is anyone else disturbed that that hypothetical Justice League trilogy sounds an awful lot like the plot to Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor?

25:47 Buckle up, urine for a good time.

Got to admit with a jar that says "Granny's", I suspected the Granny Goodness revel joke.

FAT GRANDMA IS BACK! Seriously, I never thought I would live to see her return. I felt the world get colder when she disappeared....I just feel euphoric to see her again, even if it's for a cameo. You were missed the Queen of Sass....you were deeply missed...

If this Batman is willing to kill, then why is this world's Joker still alive? Of all the criminals to kill, why does Batman keep killing the henchmen and not someone as dangerous as the Joker? This Joker has apparently already killed a Robin, so why hasn't this killer Batman taken revenge?

I mean in their first meeting Superman completely bowls over Batman, but I think worst still is that Superman basically proves Batman right. He just rolls in in the middle of a situation he doesn't understand and doesn't want to, endangers Batman + anyone else that's around without giving a shit, makes unilateral demands and threats and leaves. This isn't a misunderstanding, that's just what Superman is like, here!

Its funny you mentioning the whole, "I don't want to see movies in this universe because this is the same universe with MoS and BvS." As while I have enjoyed some of the other movies in this setting, I GET THAT! Like there is a bit in Shazam where they imply Superman does a VERY Superman thing and takes time out of his day to make a bullied kid happy just cus he's a really nice guy and someone asked him to do a small act of kindness and... I don't believe it. I believe SUPERMAN WOULD DO THAT FOR SURE! But I don't think THIS Superman would give a single, solitary **** about making some random kid feel important and cared about because this Superman seems to think even saving lives is a burden he only grudgingly puts up with! Like... Shazam (and Aquaman to a lesser degree) seem to be taking place in a version of the DCU which is on the surface the same as the Snyder films and Suicide Squad, but tonally, morally, thematically are just WILDLY different! Wonderwoman 1 kind of feels a bit more coherent with the grim and gritty Snyder-verse while not being as utterly nihilistic, but the rest of the DCU seems to either be wallowing in misery or trying to pretend they are part of some other, more idealistic, silly and bright DCU where murder is bad and enjoying being a super hero is allowable.

That whole rant about Superman and how you can't watch these movies without connecting them back to Man of Steel really reminds me of what in particular I hated the most about this movie. Full disclosure, while I grow colder on it more and more, I ultimately still liked Man of Steel and was one of the people that defended choices in it with the idea in mind that this is a movie showing us how Superman started out and was looking forward to the possibility even in spite of what had been shown before that BvS was going to give us a Superman that felt like Superman. Then the movie comes out and Superman behaves NO differently from Man of Steel I feel. In fact there are many instances where it feels like he just outright forgot lessons. For instance, Zod's death was defended by Snyder as him wanting to show Superman taking a life to demonstrate how he'd become so dedicated to not doing that. Arguments aside for how that didn't need to happen, I bought into that. BvS? Fuck it, let's have Superman tackling warlords through walls and potentially killing people, let's have him later on threaten Batman in such a way that makes him look so sinister and let's have him threaten Lex (Yes I know why he did that but seriously that still feels wrong to me to have Superman be portrayed like that.). I probably would've been able to handle a Superman that's not as optimistic, I got that in MoS and thought that movie was alright... but the least, the LEAST this movie could've provided was a Superman that grew since we last saw him.

6:20 Well, I rolled my eyes at that. Especially how they had to go out of their way to put in an audible "THUMP" as he smacks Clark's chest. If we're not gonna be subtle about it, you might as well put in a metallic "CLUNK" instead. Cause, you know, man of steel...

It's been 5 years (as of me originally writing this comment) since this movie came out, and to this day and probably till the day I die I'll be haunted by this thought. Instead of Doomsday, they should've had the guy in the wheelchair become Metallo. Makes as much sense for Lex Luthor to create Metallo using Kryptonian tech, than it was mixing his DNA with Zodd's corpse to create Doomsday.

Batman has a character arc in this movie. By the end of it, I truly believe he'd go down on Catwoman

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This movie and the universe it’s in are so bad that the first ever cinematic Flash movie... is Flashpoint.

This movie is part of a problem I have with how superheroes are depicted in a lot of media, in which heroes and other people question why they do heroic things, and it can't just simply be because they want to be good because that's "unrealistic". Just let superheroes be superheroes, isn't that why they were created in the first place?

10:37 he’s definitely not a bad actor. I liked him as Napoleon Solo, even found him charming and mischievous. And then there’s him playing Geralt and having a blast doing so.

I understand exactly how Linkara feels. Aquaman is a very fun move on its own. But the anchor of Man of Steel, BvS and Justice League is always there, dragging things down

Linkara yelling at a Pikachu plush made me laugh.

20:01 This is why my love for Linkara will never die!

Watching this I just think that the problem is that snyder thinks like luthor. He believes that supera cant be humans, cant be person, they are only their super powers and won't help people. So he does a movie showing he's cynical view and no one will bow its head and his sight to the level of weaker beings.

Also, that explosion kills Mercy Graves... she never gets a single action scene. They just kill her off pointlessly

20:08 "Don't think I don't know what you're planning, you son of a bitch!" Aaaaaand one more quote to add to my list of favorite AT4W quotes. XD

I'm with Linkara, Pikachu is shifty af. Just ask poor Porygon.

That scene with the pee jar in the courtroom had me burst out laughing the first time I saw the movie. In what could've been a tense moment, one that shows Lex's ruthlessness and intimidation, is instead ruined by a woman freaking out over a jar labeled, "Granny's Peach Tea" and is possibly full of urine. Replace the jar with something else and both the actress' reaction and the scene would've been far more effective.
