scott gibbons’s review published on Letterboxd:
I enjoyed this, me being a non comic book guy, I liked how it all fitted in with man of Steel, expanded on themes about a superbeing now being on earth and it also managed to fit a pretty good Batman film in also, and they came together nicely for me, I never understood how a batman/superman story could work even though I kind of do, as I know Batmans weakness, but this did it for me, yeah it is kinda forced into a man of steel sequel and a set up for justice league on top of that, but I had a fun old time, the look of the batman stuff gets me hyped up for any batman films, and Afleck really was great here. This film could fall apart at any minute with all the weight, but it didn't. The climax also kept me engaged, nice set up for more here, and who knows, I might rewatch Man of Steel and get past that last hour which I did not like.
