During Batman's weird little nightmare/dream sequence, you can spot several clues as to the identity of the big villain of the DCEU. Couple that with what appeared to be Parademons attacking the Dark Knight, and, well... it's looking more and more likely that Darkseid, Jack Kirby's most famous DC Comics creation (and one of the greatest comic book villains of all time) is going to make his big screen debut.
The strange symbol carved into the desert there is Darkseid's, while the winged creatures flying around are his Parademon minions...
For reference, here's what they look like when drawn by Jim Lee in the New 52 Justice League re-launch, which featured Darkseid as the team's first big threat, and which was clearly meant to inform their film efforts...
- So, in case you cannot tell because he's almost unrecognizable, the lightning tornado dream sequence echo voice thing is the DC Extended Universe version of The Flash (and that's Ezra Miller in the role). The Flash appearing in mysterious form, kind of like a dream, and possibly from a different point in time, is very much a reference to Crisis on Infinite Earths where Flash was appearing to various heroes trying to warn them of what was to come while he was busy dying later in the story fighting the very same threat.

Did you like it better than Star Wars primarily because they actually tried to get very different/creative?
After this, I'm fukk the critics, they can kiss my whole a$$hole
shyt is easily a "decent" movie, maybe little lower, maybe little higher.. but the piling on with the 30% RT. Critics damn near retarded.
But it has a decent score from critics though.
5.2/10 overall is considered average/ decent where I come form

how the fukk did this hoass edition of lex luthor know to combine his hoass dna with the dead breh?
Saw it last night and here are my thoughts:
Final Verdict: an ambitious movie that I credit for its ambition even if it didn't reach its goals 100% of the time because the parts that were good were really, really good and for someone who has imagined seeing these characters on the big screen together for a very long time I found it to be a really enjoyable flick that sets up the next phase (the forming of the Justice League) pretty well.
Grade: B+
The Good:
I liked the script; you could see that Terrio was trying to say something about the realities of how the real world would react to having superheroes dropped in the middle of it. Most of the public's reactins rang true to me.
The movie looked amazing and the action was cool. This really did look like a graphic novel come to life in the big action set pieces.
The way Snyder fit in all of the other Justice League members was unobtrusive and had me nerding out. Was also pleasantly surprised that Joe Morton was cast as Cyborg's dad. All the fears about there being too many characters were unfounded.
The casting was a lesson in defying kneejerk low expectations. Gal Gadot was great and shined in all of her scenes which has me excited for her solo movie.
Eisenberg was giving extra "Eisenberginess" and while he wasn't my idea of what the perfect Lex Luthor would be he was good in the role especially as he got more and more deranged.
Ben Affleck was awesome and delivered a perfectly fine Bruce Wayne which I had no doubts about since most of the past actors cast in the role were also able to embody Wayne very well. It was as Batman that I think Affleck really worked for me. Most of the past movie Batmen were not very distinctive once they put on the cape and cowl and always felt like they were Bruce Wayne in disguise. Affleck was Batman first and Wayne was the real secret identity which is always how I prefer my Batman.
And amazingly I actually saw romantic chemistry between Lois and Clark which was not the best crafted relationship in MOS.
And the score was
...the WW/Doomsday theme especially had me ready to pick a fight in the movie theater it was so hyped.
The Bad:
I am kinda sick of mopey, self-doubting Superman. That character trait should have been left in MOS.
There was an awful lot of dream sequences/visions for one movie.
Wasn't a big fan of Doomsday...not his creation or his insertion into the movie. The Trinity vs Doomsday fight was fun but I am pretty
on Doomsday the character.
As a longtime comic book/super-hero nerd I picked up on all of the stuff that we got in Batman's vision of the totalitarian future and I geeked out at the sight of that giant Omega symbol emblazoned on the ground, parademons flying all over the place and The Flash from the future showing up. But if you aren't a comic head that stuff went right over your head and probably confused the fukk out of you. A little bit more foreshadowing of Darkseid would have helped.
In the same vein, Luthor's ranting from his prison cell would have worked better if we had been shown him finding out about intergalactic threats like Apokolips and Brainiac while he had control of the Kryptonian ship. Because it felt like Lex knew a lot of really important details that weren't shared with the class.
Superman "dying" at the end was a clunky and unnecessary decision. We all know he isn't dead and all it does is create a situation where time will have to be wasted explaining his resurrection. And it effectively kills Clark Kent as a character which is not a smart move either because you can't have him just crawl out of his grave like it nothing after the funeral and open casket.

Nah, bruh. Nothing's going over anyone's head. The movie just sucks.I feel like unless you see the underlining foreshadowing the movie will go over your head and seem all over the placethat is the writers fault too. Unless your a diehard DC fan whose been up on Easter eggs and speculations, you will look at the movie like

The fukk you talking about.
The bare minimum score of acceptability when it comes to critics ratings is a 60.
Someone ban @Kill Dat Noize and @TheGodling from this thread. Do them a favor or they will be in here for the rest of the year at minimum. These nikkas saying the movie is worse than some of the critics said lol and we know damn well both of 'em been hating on this movie and on Man of Steel for three years straight.
Their reviews were prewritten obviously
Dry your eyes you crybaby faggit
Nope.
I see it tonight. I honestly cant wait to finally see the what causing all the fuss
I honestly don't care about reviews...stopped caring when the Gawd Ebert went to that aisle seat in the sky.But it has a decent score from critics though.

Besides some of my favorite movies were shyt on by critics when they first came out. Predator was almost universally panned and The Shining was actually nominated for a Razzie for Worst Director for Kubrick...think about that, people actually thought once upon a time that Kubrick shyt the bed in terms of how he directed The Shining.
Night of the Hunter was a critical and box office flop when it first came out. Taste differs and in the case of a polarizing director like Zack Snyder his aesthetic doesn't always line up with the tastes of professional critics.
