But the problem is, well that as well. Around the middle it does get quite confusing as things seem to go everywhere and nothing Lex does makes any sense. If it weren't for all of us having read the comics, we'd have struggled with it all a lot
But the Batman side of things is by far the best portrayal of the batman universe we've ever seen, and besides the terrible harddrive scene, the Justice League/future elements such as the nightmare hold promise of what is to come. |
Thing is, a decent script could have improved things a lot. Its so muddled and confusing because its really bad at telling a coherent story, something most of the Marvel titles managed without too much need to reference the comics, the bits that were generally were the end credit scenes.
The best way to understand it is to assume that Lex Luthor knows everyone's secret identities from the get go and he is basically able to understand their deepest hidden scars and motivations and exploits this, he even allows all his sensitive data to be nicked by Bats to this end.
Why?
F*** knows, he seems to just want superman dead and instead of developing a super science trap to make that happen... you know... like LEX does in ALL THE COMICS, instead he decides to con a bloke dressed as a bat to steal all the kryptonite and basically waste it in a gamble.
