I’M NOT CRYING YOU’RE CRYING
Batman x Superman
Wonder Woman ships it.
Based on that movie promo pic wherein Superman is touching Batman’s chest for some reason.
Honestly, I don’t know much about Damian Wayne but what I do know is that he’s small and has no chill and tbh that pretty much sums me up.
‘Batman v Superman’ isn’t mocking Superman’s idealism, it depends on it and uses it as the thematic basis for redeeming Batman and the entire world, and for leading us to the creation of the Justice League. The cynicism is intentionally framed as the world’s rejection of Superman, representing the modern real-life arguments about whether Superman is relevant and relatable to our real world, and the claims by a lot of people that Superman can’t be interesting because of his goodness and idealism. ‘Batman v Superman’ argues that in a world with so few good guys who remain good, with so many reasons to give up and stop having faith, Superman’s idealism is more important than ever, more relevant than ever.

hell yeah
The thing is that usually when DC spins a “darker” DC, they make Superman super dark and hide his idealism. so we end up with Frank Miller trash or “What if Superman was a Nazi?” or such.
This gave us a darker world (by giving us OUR world instead of DC’s), but kept Superman’s idealism and I loved it to pieces.
