    Great movie if you understand this is an adaptation
    I put this movie on because I became aware of the story via the video game that came out in 2014.

    I figured I'd see a riff happen between superman and batman, and a team fight happen somewhere in the end.

    Horrible pun intended when I saw the flash be killed in an instant quickly in the movies opening scenes.

    The movie does a great job at showing the adoration Wayne and Kent have towards one another, and they really jump into the "Okay what happens next" set after Superman disposes The Joker.

    You really feel the civilans pain through the unjust killing of a couple of them for ridiculous reasons (superman kills a warehouse full of objectively teenagers who are having a joker theme edm party while shouting at superman that hes a facist, you also see a dude get blown up for littering).

    Theres a brilliant scene between superman and Mr. Terrific where they play chess and Mr. T (no not that one, although a man can dream...) and he outlines the slipery slope Superman is headed towards.

    The movie takes a nice emotional piviot where after Dick Greyson is killed by no one other than Damion Batman grieves and is comforted by Catwoman in a really humanizing scene for the Bats.

    We also see Diana try to comfort superman and as she leans in for a kiss he pulls away.

    Unlike the video game Diana is snapped out of her loyalty for superman when she realizes Sups is on the deepend.

    A couple of other charaters die pretty brutally. Hawkman beaten to death by a replica of his own weapon, Cyborg (will he ever catch a break) ripped in half, Mr Atom shredded on a molecular level, and Solomon Grundy whos probably going to wait for another monday to be reborn.

    All in all if you grew up on the comic book adaptation or are one of those "HEEEY THATS NOT HOW IT HAPPENED" people that cant handle suprises youll not like this movie. However if you understand that this is simply using the sorce material and adding a spin to how it plays out, youll enjoy it. P.s. Deadwing is a dumb name, but man I loved that character.

    Just watched and I loved every moment!
    Absolutely loved the movie! I've played some of the games and haven't read the comics for it, but I truly enjoyed every second of what this wonderfully animated films as doing. I really like politically charged superhero content and stuff that challenges the idea of what a character stands for, and this is just absolutely that! If you like the darker side of DC and want something that satisfies characters going against classic depictions, then this is the movie for you. It might not always be source accurate, but it's absolutely fantastic in my opinion as a DC animated film. The ending was just perfect to me and really made me feel that there was weight to what was happening along with all the other events throughout. Must watch!
