Nothing I have to say about Snyder's technique will mean anything to anyone at Warner Brothers if "Batman v Superman" does what it needs to do, i.e., gross a billion or more worldwide, thus setting up ready-made audiences for the chain of interrelated DC Comics movies in production and pre-production. The actors in Snyder's two-and-a-half-hour lesson in jaw-jutting and awkwardly framed handheld camerawork save what they can, where they can. I particularly enjoyed Jeremy Irons' Alfred, who clearly should be running the show, rather than his boss, zillionaire three-day-stubble boy Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, played by Ben Affleck. Amy Adams as Lois Lane remains an asset as well.
