WATCHING BATMAN VS SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE FOR THE FIRST TIME REACTION/ COMMENTARY 

GUYS THE ZACK SNYDER JUSTICE LEAGUE REACTION IS HERE ON THE SOLO CHANNEL IF YOU WANT TO WATCH - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1Pqgn5vQUCA.html (subscribe to that channel for other future solo reactions)

About the Martha thing, it's exactly what you said, Batman's whole deal was that Superman was an alien, a god, a tyrant, but when he said "You're letting him kill Martha" it not only triggered Bruce's PTSD (as we see from the various nightmares) but it also shows him that Clark is just as human as he is. He has a mother, and Bruce's sees himself as the guy who killed his own parents. And that is enough to stop him.

3 hours is a nice number to get you ready for the 4 hours Snydercut that I was so in love with watching the day it came out!

1 HOUR AND A HALF OF REACTION!!!!! That's why I love this channel man, so excited for this!! Thank you Rico!

59:55 If Superman has a human mother, he is not just an alien invador, he has a human element to him. Lois coming in and saying Martha was the name of Superman's MOTHER changed Batman's view about him. The name Martha just caught his attention, the most important thing was the information that Superman was raised by a human family and this family was in danger.

Although not loved by the general public or hardcore comic fans, I really love the snyder trilogy, his interpretation of these iconic characters are so interesting, and the subtext he puts in these movies are so rich, some people didn’t like this, but in bvs we see the trinity in their darkest places, and old murderous, deranged Batman, a baby confused and hopeless Superman, and a centenary cold and distant Wonder Woman. Their journey to the justice league make them find their better selves again… I really enjoyed the reinvention of lex as a mark zuckeberg type megalomaniac, the power of the tech giants over us made it age so well

I'm glad you caught that Lex was aware of Clark's identity when they showed up at the party, so few people catch that

This sets up Zack Snyder’s Justice League it talks about how Darkseid is coming to earth since Superman died because they now have no good defender

50:24. Rico, you asked how did Superman know that Lois was falling to catch her. In the comics, Superman would often listens to Lois' heartbeat. For example, he calls it "the rhythm of his life" in Superman: For Tomorrow story arc. It's like when he was a child in MoS he listen his mom voice because Clark can never turn off his super-hearing, just he can't . Also in MoS after escaping from the starship Clark stood next to Lois and could hear that Zod threatened his mother.

If you want to know who Lex was talking about at the end, the answer is simple: watch the Snyder cut! XP

Guys this is the reaction to the ultimate edition of Batman V Superman, I enjoyed this one a lot, I will say completely these movies are a completely different vibe to the MCU and I love that change is good, can’t wait to dive deeper into this universe and hope you all continue to join me!!

That first sequence is so symbolic, of his fall into darkness, seeing bats as a hope to carry to the light and then of course 'in the dream they took me to the light, a beautiful like Summing up his entire journey

My favorite cbm. This has so much you can't just figure out in first watch. Like it's complex, stuff it derives

I get goosebumps to bro! The cinematography and score of MOS and BVS are amazing.

the martha scene is basically bruce not wanting to be the monster that killed his parents he put clark in the same predicament he was put in as a kid, clark’s “last words” being the same last words the his father said just triggered his ptsd

Seeing this reaction, I can say the movie is as good as I remember. Amazing script, epic action

YESSS I’ve been waiting for this. I’m so glad you are watching the Ultimate Edition. Every time I watch this I get a deeper understanding of the film Edit: you probably already know this, but do NOT watch Justice league (2017). Make sure you watch Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021)

The reason batman spared his life is he was viewing superman as not human this entire time, but in that moment he saw a human man, a boy even, trying to save his mother and he realized how wrong he was about him.

This films just keeps getting better every time you watch it, this film changed my view on films in general, watch the allegories parallels and symbolisms on this film itll make you apprectiate it more, liked your reaction, theres already lots of comments on the Martha thing, other than that great commentary, liked your perspective and views.

I explain to you. Remember that when they arrest Lex, they find him with a kind of silhouette, well that silhouette is Steppenwolf (villain from another world). Later, when Lex tells Bruce in prison that "they are coming", he is referring to Steppenwolf, Darksaid (DC's greatest villain). Now this I ask you please, when it is your turn to see "Justice League" please do not look at the 2017 version, because it is very bad (because there was a change of producers, and whoever entered the film lost, has a lot of reviews) and instead you watch "Zack Snyder's Justice League" (he was the producer who should have finished the movie, and if that would be the order). Greetings from Peru

28:26 This is not a vision, this is what was supposed to happen in Justice League part 2 after Darkseid studied the Anti-life equation and broke the will of Superman, turning him into a personal executioner.

In the comics whenever Doomsday takes damage/dies he evolves to be resistant to the damage again. It was pretty cool watching Doomsday keep evolving here. The Death of Superman is a classic graphic novel, check it out

I'm glad you liked this Lex Luthor, I thought Jesse did an extraordinary job in creating a sort of Mark Zuckerberg type of villain, he's like 50/50 Lex & Zucker haha. I loved his mania, his obsession with forbidden knowledge, his religious overtures. He's such a great character.

For anyone interested in a more deeper analysis of the movie, I recommend the Batman v Superman by the minute podcast. The best way to appreciate this movie. They even invite people from the film. Like Ben Affleck stunt double. And so on

Nobody who has reacted to this movie ever notices how Luthor says "My father named the company after himself, he was the 'Lex' in front of the 'Corp'..." That's because the Luthor we got is actually Alexander Luthor Jr, son of THE Lex Luthor. There were news articles (both in-movie and in real life) mentioning this, so that's pretty neat.

1:18:57 Lex Luthor here means, "He's hungry, he's found us." He's referring to someone named Steppenwolf you'll see in the Justice League movie Zack Snyder.

Dude, great reaction. Your comments after the movie were on point. You caught a lot of the nuance that many people miss. Miss your beautiful lady though. Wouldve liked to see her reaction as well

The Martha scene also is about this alien who's evil to batman and with what would of been his dying breathe he says save my mother, batman been around for 20 years hes seen evil and they usually say they will get revenge and what not, with his PTSD and superman saying that it snaps batman of that path of destruction and it's a start to a new path of a new hero which we see in zack snyder justice league movie

"Wow she's STRONG.. I mean I knew she was strong, but she's STRONG" 😂 My new favourite line

I don't care what some critics think. This film was incredible!

You gotta love when Rico react to deep story line movie! Lets goooo

Btw that Knightmare sequence will make more sense after you watch the sydercut

Humanity: "We want a saviour figure to help us in times of great need" Superman: *Shows up to do that exact same thing* Humanity: "No, Superman is too powerful, he might turn on us at anytime, he shouldn't have acted!"

I'm glad you saw the ultimate edition, I'm going to be waiting for your reaction of Justice League the Snyder cut.

So at one point Henry Caveile walked around New York city, during the daytime, wearing his Clark Kent costume, for a few hours, and basically was unnoticed. As dumb as the glasses thing is the fact that nobody noticed Henry with them is a testament to how well they worked.

Next you can watch Wonder Woman (2017) and then Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021). Most of the things that left you confused are set up for Justice League but please don't even go near the theatrical cut of Justice League (2017) lmao!! So glad you take your time to really dive deep and understand these characters but then again I know I can always expect you to do that! Hope you get better soon!

Great reaction. I'd honestly LOVE to now see how your partner would react to these DCEU movies. LOL..I agree that it is funny that in both Man of Steel & BvS, people start evacuating buildings way too late. If you line up the angle of the heat vision beam from both movies, they line up perfectly. Bruce Wayne ran into the smoke because that's the type of guy he is. I cannot honestly say myself, though, if I would have that kind of courage, even though I would want to help. I still remember when stills and clips first came out for this movie, fans were all clamoring at the theory that little girl Bruce rescued would be Batgirl. FYI...not many people are aware there are several issues of BvS prequel comics that cover some of the gap between Man of Steel & BvS that answer at least some questions some fans & critics had of this film & puts them into more context, including the scene in Africa and what caused Batman to just snap and not care anymore about having limits. I really loved those prequel comics and it made this movie even more enjoyable & I really wish parts of those comics were put in the movie itself. Unfortunately, not many people know about them and they were not promoted well either. Personally, I never got the point of prequel comics because casual movie fans are not going to read the comics or even know about them. Several MCU movies also have prequel comics and I doubt many even know about them either. But, I digress, LOL! I LOVE this movie. I do not know if you ever saw Batman: The Animated Series, but this Batman reminded me of that version. If you never saw that show, go see it. From what I read back then, this movie originally was gonna have Riddler in it and Jesse Eisenberg was cast as Riddler. But, then Riddler was removed and Jesse was recast as Lex Luthor. Eisenberg then asked Mr. Snyder if he could play Lex the same way and was told he could. I do not mind this take on Lex. I prefer the take on Smallville, but did not mind this take. But, personally, I thought he was a bit too scatter-brained and goofy and not enough evil genius businessman. Zack Snyder talked about his 4 hour version of this movie that gave much greater story arcs for each main character. That version was screened to WB executives 1 year before the theatrical release & was given a standing ovation. It seems obvious to me something happened between then and when the theatrical release came out that caused WB to change Snyder's version. This movie is the 1st DCEU movie that made me seriously resent WB for messing with a director's vision and then blaming said director. I loved the theatrical release too & thinks some fans & critics were way too harsh on it, but this ultimate edition shows how much WB did mess with Snyder's vision and then, unfortunately, led them to subsequently mess with David Ayer's vision for Suicide Squad as a result of some critics not liking this movie, then also led WB to severely mess with Snyder's Justice League and butcher that to death. I really liked Ayer's Suicide Squad, but am much more interested in Ayer's original version. Snyder's Justice League version is SO MUCH better than the theatrical release there is even no comparison worth making....and this comes from me who actually really liked the theatrical version despite it's many flaws and even defended it to haters. But, yes, Snyder's version is so much better in every way. I could go on a huge rant on how Snyder got royally screwed by WB and Joss Whedon, but you get the idea, LOL!

I enjoy villains like this version of Lex Luthor, Joker (Dark Knight), Moriarty and Eurus (Sherlock), Zemo, and that one guy from Train to Busan. I'd put them as my version of "Sinister Six".

28:23 love how your expression goes from "ok lets do this" to "wtf is going on?" haha Such a underrated movie.

Bro I picked up your channel about 3 weeks ago and I've been hooked on your reactions since. Keep them coming bro. Good job

Hey! Only just discovered this channel - so glad you’re enjoying these movies! You’re right, they’re a really refreshing different take compared to the MCU. You should definitely watch Zack Snyder’s Justice League next - most of the things you we’re confused about get cleared up in that film

Thank you for showing some love for the DC side of things. The lows can be Very low sometimes but the highs are def worth watching!

I love this movie!

Yes yes, Batman here is the older Batman. He knew that the method of catching prisoners and handing them over to the police does not work, but becomes violent and fights them and Sometimes he kills them by putting a Batman mark on his body (And when the criminal enters prison, there are people who kill those who carry the mark of Batman, for the mark of Batman is death) This movie is based on the comic The Dark Knight Returns. There is an animation movie in two parts that has the same name The Dark Knight Returns and a different story that I recommend to you, great movie

You dont need any translations and explanations, the next one you're watching is called Zack Snyders Justice League. My man Snyder will explain, like he always does.

This movie is heavily underated. The layers of storytelling, even though at some times is alot, is phenomenal. Reminds me of Civil War and the execution of that story. And don't get me started on the action too. Batman and Superman are just bad ass. So regarding the final thing Lex said, basically because the ship knew all and taught him, he now knows all too and he knows that there's someone coming to Earth Also if anyone knows why Batman kills his enemies in this universe, can you let me know 🙏 thanks 😂

Rico: She's strong! You might say she's... God tier

Batman doesn't save Martha because her mothers have the same names. Batman in BVS is a guy who suffers from PTSD, as seen in his nightmares, his medication and alcoholism and the dark path he takes after Robin's death. But Batman at heart has always been a scared child, for the only moment that changed his life. A boy who turned fear into his weapon and put on a suit, to prevent others from going through the trauma that he experienced. But as you say, in the first act of BVS Bruce sees firsthand how an alien arrives and wreaks havoc in Metropolis and causes thousands of deaths. At that moment Bruce looks helpless, weak and again SCARED, as Alfred says "fear, anger and the feeling of helplessness make good men cruel." Bruce uses all his hatred and makes it his mission, to kill Superman by any means necessary, and in that moment of vulnerability Batman does not find an invincible alien capable of destroying the world, Bruce sees a scared child, and in Clark Bruce he sees himself, in that alley like so many years ago, and Bruce becomes Joe Chill with the gun, and in turn in everything that he always always tries to stop. And at the same time that he sees Clark vulnerable he discovers that he has a mother, and therefore has human ties, a family and therefore humanity. He's not the monster he wanted him to be. And again, Bruce suffers from PTSD, so hearing the name of his mother at that moment generates a trigger that overwhelms him and makes him wake up from her "spell". Hence, Bruce, who in this universe is a soldier, who uses his fear as a weapon, builds a new mission, "Martha will not die tonight", because this time he can do something to protect her, and he will prevent her from a son loses his mother this time. Many people hate this scene and I judge and criticize it because they are badly used to receiving everything chewed up and with 4 jokes in the middle, and to me this scene seems to be the basis of the Batman character and his return from darkness, and subsequent evolution that we see in ZSJL. I love BVS and I love the DC that Snyder brought us and his idea of ​​these epic and momentous characters.

Rico, I seen you said in the comments of an older video that you haven’t seen Peaky Blinders!! You should definitely react to it! The best British series there is & is quite an accurate representation of post WW1 Britain, and has some of the most badass characters in TV history in it too!!

When you do watch Justice League it is very important that you watch the Snyder cut and not the regular version. The regular version is garbage and the Snyder cut is everything!

Thank u for making ur reactions an hour and a half 🥺

You should watch Zack Snyder’s justice league next.

50:33 superman has super hearing. He always hears Lois. it's common in comics as well as animated movies.

A future classic, people just don't see it yet

I always feel like Batman realizing that Superman not only humanized Superman in Batman’s eyes but it also humanized Bruce again in that moment. He had lost who he was and became a monster while thinking Superman was a monster. In that moment in Bruce’s mind, they both became human again and he realized what his mission as Batman was all about. Enacting vengeance to save the innocent from going through what he went through as a kid.

Really appreciate the length of this reaction must have been a bitch to edit etc so fair play, love the content 👍🏻

Still makes me laugh when clark wears hat and coat he doesn't feel the cold

Best CBM to date. There is nothing better than this. MOS is amazing as well.

This movie is proof that Zack Snyder understand these characters

the nightmare scene where superman kills batman is a dream and a possible future....But flash warning bruce is not a dream, if you look carefully when bruce wakes up...the papers on his desk are still floating. The one who is coming is Steppenwolf

I hope this means you're watching the Snydercut of Justice League next. Post it on four parts and you'll be pleased

30:46 notice those papers flying . it is not a dream

Something to pay attention to next time: Throughout the movie there are 4 big moments where there are horses on screen. Like the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse counting down to the invasion of Steppenwolf and Darkseid, who are from the planet Apokalypse.

people complain about that stopping him from killing Clark but he is demanding a response it's not stopping him but delaying him and it leads to him realising he is human at heart

The reason Martha name drop stopped batman was because he saw the humanity in superman when this god is asking him to save his mother

One thing I particularly liked about this batman. Superman has been on earth for years and nothing has really come close to truly killing superman. Batman is literally just like right I'll fucking do it.

I don't know if anybody explained the scene where batman was fighting all those soldiers in his sleep. So I'm gonna do my best in explaining it. So basically that scene was called the knightmare scene. A scene of what is to come in the future where an ultimate villain who is named darkseid who takes over earth. When superman said "she was my world, and you took her from me" is referring to batman failing to save Lois from behind killed by darkseid. After his loss he succumbed to darkseids "anti life equation" which is long story short able to take control over weak minds. And since supermans mind was weak after the death of lios lane, he now works for darkseid. I hope that helped!

Get your popcorn 🍿 ready for The Snyder Cut 😎. Movie it EPIC!!

*Bro stop hating on Batman lmao* *In all seriousness, it's okay to cry when Superman dies. I cried my eyes out as a child when the first did the Death of Superman and I'm not even a Superman fan. This was a great reaction!*

59:21 for Martha lol

Tbh you are the first person I've seen to have correctly understood the Martha scene on the first viewing.

I really really really hopes he watches Zach Snyder's Justice League! I know its 4 hours, but maybe he can split it into 2 different parts

Batman's last humanity, and his memory of when he was happiest, is when he was with his parents. Batman was going to finish off Superman because he didn't consider him human, just a monster who believed himself above humanity, but who, after all, was tremendously dangerous. The nightmares they have and Luthor's manipulation encourage that look. When Superman talks about his mother, Batman realizes that maybe she wasn't as unhuman as he thought. He begins to empathize with the alien being, realizing that the two are not that different. That their mothers have the same name is an even bigger shock that makes Batman lose his cool and part of his rationality. That's why if it's justified, and the mothers having the same name is already in the comics, so it's just using a resource that already exists.

I think finding out a god that you hate is really just, a human who also shares the same mom name... would humanize him.

The next one is Suicide Squad: The Extended Cut, it's not as good as the last two but still an interesting watch!

Loved the reaction💪🏽 Can’t wait to see your reaction of Wonder Woman and Justice league- Snyder’s cut💪🏽

1:00:05 Batman didn't kill him because at that moment he relized that he is becoming just like the man who killed his parents and at that point he understood if he dose it he woulldn't be any better than Joe Chill

Man if you got your beloved one to watch these with you, I would have loved to see her inputs of the Zack Snyder trilogy & dc films on how they’re tonally for the most part differ from marvel’s formula

When the warden calls lex Prisoner ac231940 . It means action comics issue 23 1940. Lex Luthers 1st appearance in comics.

Fun fact Supes always listening to Lois and his moms heartbeats when he is on earth.

1:13:49 remember that scream . ZSJL ❤

I loved the reaction 💯💕 please continue Im so intrigued by the series

You have to remember that batman is DEFINED by the pain of seeing his parents killed right in front of him so him hearing “you’re letting them kill Martha” is deeefinitely going to trigger a deep response and then finding out that this “alien monster” actually is also a person with people that love him. Made him reevaluate wtf he was doing

I mean martha scene is gold I understood if since the movie was released

To find out who Lex was talking about you have to watch the 4 hour epic continuation called Zack Snyder's Justice League!

That last quote from Lex Luthor will make sense if you watch Justice League, but the Snyder Cut the original one, that 4hr movie

30:09 "She was my world, and you took her from me" Ok but that doesn't necessarily mean that you go rogue on the entire planet

The girl in the cell who points at the ceiling is Clint Eastwood's neighbor in Gran Torino.

I know people have a problem with the dude still in the building, but honestly, with building collapsing outside and an alien ship in the sky, some people may feel better being inside. On 911, lots of people remained in the building after the plane hit, until they were told to leave. So, that scene makes sense to me.

My list of dc movies.. including joker. Don’t care if you like it or not 1. Man of steel 2.joker 3. Suicide squad 2 4.ZS justice league 5 WW1 6. Shazam 7.aqua man 8. Bvs 9. Birds of prey 10. Suicide squad 1 11. Ww2

Got chinged through his soul 😂 “get up man” no doctors fixing that 💀

The dream Bruce has will make sense in the next one. Side note, I’m not sure Flash was a dream as papers are flying around when Bruce wakes up…

Batman is the best prepper in DC while Thanos is the best prepper in marvel, only followed by deadpool. You give them time and let them prepare for a specific fight, then they will win

Please react to Justice League SnyderCut with Monica. Because we need both your perspectives on these movies. I am glad that you liked it. Because a lot of the complaints are not even legitimate complaints. People say its too confusing, but if you actually pay attention, the plot makes more sense. Its not a Marvel type movie where they tell you everything. This is a movie with graphic storytelling which keeps viewers questioning. And it is also a great study of our cynical world. We can't even accept our own people, how are we supposed to accept superhuman beings? And the people who complain about being the DCEU being different will be the same people to say that the DCEU copied Marvel if they did a similar thing. So I am glad that you were able to get it.

17:55 batman knows 23 language

Batman decided not to kill Superman at that moment because he realised that this godlike being has a human mother and he was gonna become (the criminal) for killing someone's child which is something Batman doesn't want anyone else to suffer. (The reason he became Batman in the first place)

Another Masterpiece of the Trilogy

Everyone likes this movie, but not all the woke movie critics lol

1:11:08 In the comics Wonder Woman is actually stronger than Superman, she is the daughter of Zeus with the queen of the Amazons, female warriors with a naturally stronger physiology than an ordinary woman, so when mixed with divine blood generated a being countless times stronger, she has defeated Superman many times and Batman himself said that defeating her would be a lot more work than defeating Superman because in addition to being as strong as he is (she has divine powers like energy manipulation, animal telepath, flight plus limited electrokinesis) she has almost no weaknesses, unlike Superman who has several ones (Kryptonite, magic, telepathy, etc) plus Superman only uses brute strenght when fighting, but she uses brute strength combined with an 5,000 years of battle experience, but in the movie they left her a lot weaker for turn Superman into the most powerful being on the planet or something, but she's still strong as hell.

Love the reaction the problem here, is Superman knows Kryptonite can make him weak and he can just ask Diana give the spear to her and they will manage on how Diana will give the final blow.
