Question I Can't Figure out -Batman V Superman **spoilers** note **spoilers**

[Godzilla]

When Bruce had the last dream (I think it was the last one) who was the guy telling him that Lois is the key?

[monitor_ep]

The Flash.

[kept back]

I think it's supposed to be future Flash telling him to not let Lois(or Martha?) die.

[Hector]

The Flash was BY FAR...my least favorite superhero character in BVS.

[hedrap]

Yes it was Flash.

Yes it made no sense.

Yes the dream sequences did not help anything.

[Earth 2 Chris]

That really irked me. First, the Flash looks awful. Scraggly hipster Flash is just WRONG. Ugh. And the armor looked ridiculous. Hopefully that's just some future, time-travel tech.

Plus, they are directly channeling the Injustice: Gods Among Us video game. We aren't even halfway through THIS film where Batman hates Superman and thinks he's going to destroy or enslave the world, and then the Flash shows up and says "hey, if Lois dies, Supes will go nuts!". REALLY? That just underminded the ending of THIS film we were building to. That was the worst part of the whole movie.

Was it necessary for Snyder to kill Jimmy Olsen?

Olsen is the photographer who accompanies Amy Adams’ Lois Lane on a dangerous mission to interview a warlord in Africa, and soon outed as a CIA plant. Olsen’s punishment? He gets shot in the head and dies in front of a horrified Lane.

The photographer was unnamed in the movie, but Snyder confirmed that he was in fact Olsen.

Seriously Snyder?

Seriously Snyder?

But, since he's unnamed, they could introduce a younger Jimmy later if they want, but yeah it was a cruel fate.

[Hector]

Snyder said there was no room for Olsen in his universe...

[Earth 2 Chris]

Jimmy is now Superman's Robin. None of these modern filmmakers "get" why the hero needs them....which means they really don't know or care for the material they are adapting.

It was hard to identify what the warning was about. I don't think Lois was the key for this movie. I think this made no sense because the warning is a teaser for a future movie.

The dream sequence with Cosner is good for a bathroom break. Showing the Wayne murders twice was not needed -unless someone doesn't know the back starry, needs the set up AND need a reminder at the climax.
The other flash backsI thought were good.

Yes it was Flash.

Yes it made no sense.

Yes the dream sequences did not help anything.

Sooooo....Batman is now Vibe?

There was very unintentionally funny scene were the audience just laughed out loud...or it was perhaps intentional, who knows what goes through the head of Snyder.

But here's what I'm talking about (spoilers)....

Batman rescues Martha Kent...and (paraphrasing here) tells her, 'I'm a friend of your son"...this, after beating the tar off Supes, almost impaling him with the kryptonite lance, sure, friends, lol. They sure became buddies that fast, okay...

[Brue]

A friend of mine has a movie review site, He laid out some good explanations and background.

The only thing I think he got wrong is the interpretation of Flash's warning.

It wasn't unintentionally funny.

It was, in fact, intentionally fun writing.

How it made it into DOJ, I'll never know.

But, I'm grateful nevertheless.

Laughed out loud. LOUD, myself at that one. The crowd I was with did too. Not mockingly. We discussed this afterwards.

In fact, it was seemingly the only light hearted self-aware moment (aside from the trailers misleading "Bruce, Clark, Lex" schtick.... and the "thought she was with you" bit).

Oh yeah, and although Alfred was his own brand of fun... the "'sarcasm to Bruce' as dialogue" started to become uncomfortably predictable as the film wore on.
