That feeling after watching “Justice League (2017)” when…

Your older, very critical sister tells you, “I feel like I didn’t have enough. I want to watch it again”, then tells your parents when you get home that they should watch it, too. (And you’re pleasantly surprised by this because she had been pretty silent sitting next to you.)

Your DC and Marvel fan of an older brother tells you that it was a good movie.

Your workmate, who’s not a DC fan, asks you if you’ve seen the movie and tells you that it was soooo good. 

*deep inhale*

*deep exhale*

*grins*

Meanwhile, I’m checking out cinema schedules so I can watch it again.

joons:

“I just don’t understand why Clark wouldn’t just say, ‘Save my mother’ instead of ‘Save Martha.’ The whole thing is just silly.”

Luthor: Martha, Martha, Martha. Well, the mother of a flying demon must be a witch. And the punishment for witches – what is that? That’s right. Death by fire.

Luthor: If you kill me, Martha dies. And if you fly away, Martha also dies. But if you kill the Bat, Martha lives.

Bruce: [with disgust] I bet your parents taught you that you mean something, that you’re here for a reason. My parents taught me a different lesson. Dying in the gutter. For no reason at all.

Clark: Save Martha.

Bruce: Why did you say that name?

Lois: It’s his mother’s name.

These six lines demonstrate the layers needed to get Bruce to his realization. He knows Superman has parents. He is not interested. Luthor knows Superman has a mother and uses her against him, dehumanizing her completely as he does so. Clark begs for Martha to be saved for who she is, not for her relationship to him, since Luthor and Bruce have both made it quite clear that the mother of a flying demon doesn’t matter. Bruce realizes Martha is his mother. Lois – a human, a woman throwing herself in front of a gun/spear to save someone she loves – says “It’s his mother’s name” like it’s the most important thing in the world. And it is. And Bruce is wrong. And he crumples.

You cannot watch BVS and think you can just forget all the dialogue that’s come before and then turn around and claim it doesn’t make sense. It is all right there, you lazybones.

YES.

BATMAN #37

“SUPERFRIENDS” part two! The stunning conclusion to the two-part story.
Torn apart by betrayal, Batman and Superman try to find a way back to
friendship, to trust. Both understand that the future of the DCU depends
on this relationship; both understand that without the help of the
other, their lives will fall apart. And yet, one is still the spoiled
rich boy, and the other is still the naive farm boy. Men from two worlds
confront each other and try to see the hope behind the madness.

So, I was checking out the official DC Comics website (to, you know, estimate how much money I’d have to save up for upcoming Rebirth stuff) and found that THE SUPER BROMANCE LIVES ON.

And I just really wanted to share it with ya’ll. Hahaha.

Save Martha ‘Batman v Superman’ Featurette [+Subtitles]

If more people saw this video, the whole trend around “Martha’s”  name  being made fun of, would be ALL squashed. 

All i wanted for this movie, was to make sense. The theatrical release was an incomplete project for me, and thanks to finding out the context of the film itself, and the Director’s Cut. Finally, this film makes total sense.

 

#BatmanvSuperman Proud to say, you turned a hater into a fan. 👍

I just watched this the other day, and it just reiterated what I already knew and believed (and written about here) about the film. If it makes people understand the whole concept of “Martha” in the film better, even in hindsight, then… awesome. Because, like Martha Kent said, “People hate what they don’t understand”.

a-wayne-at-heart:

My dream Batman canon issue: ALL the four Batboys (Dick, Jason, Tim, Damian) and Cass coming out of their respective bedrooms at the Manor in their sleep civvies, woken by the scent of Alfred’s cooking; each getting to the kitchen in his/her own Extra way, playfully but competitively shoving each other out of the way; Tim breaking off from the chaos to open the door, high-fiving/fist-bumping Duke and Luke as they file in; Babs arriving two minutes later, on the phone with Steph, telling the latter to come ASAP (breakfast is almost served); Kate coming in much later, amused by the loud morning chatter, nodding at Bruce, who’s seated at a kitchen stool, patting Titus on the head while Alfred the cat purrs on his lap.

I dunno. Something incredibly MUNDANE like this when Tim comes back. We already had Batburger, and that was lovely. Just… It would be great if they were ALL there.

Selina coming in through a second story window; Basil catching up with Cass and Harper, telling them how Jean-Paul’s meditating on a mountain somewhere so he can’t make it, while Alfred mops up his clay trail. Maybe Clark and Lois (literally) flying in to drop Jon off for a sleepover with Damian.

Too much to ask?
