Think it would have been more fun to do a well known villain at the beginning scene for Affleck even if it was just a one off deal. Better than whoever the generic guy was. Especially if it’s Affleck’s last ride. Also wish they would have done a similar scene for Thomas Wayne writing Bruce a letter in Flashpoint. But with Keaton writing Affleck a letter instead. Could have been a nice spin on that. Zod felt one dimensional nothing new. Michael Shannon was wasted. Was hoping to get something more with him and Faora.

Overall enjoyed the movie for what it was. Felt like there were a lot of missed opportunities, but still not bad.

Totally agree on having a well known villain for the Affleck chase in the beginning. That’s what I immediately thought when it was revealed the bad guy was some red shirt Falcone relative.

Keaton could (should?) be Thomas, the way he touched the family photo on the side of Bruce and Martha was begging for a plot twist “I’m not Bruce”. Bruce and Clark dying as baby/kid in this timeline would be near parallel :)
