Meet the Batman

In one of the promotional interviews for Batman v Superman, Ben Affleck said that the scenes that introduce Batman are a mix between Seven and Alien. We all believed that he was talking about the intense action sequences from the trailers in which he takes down a room full of thugs.

That wasn't the case.

It isn't even an action-packed scene, but rather a horror-ish one. 2 cops, one a rookie, enter a building where fear resides. And it isn't the fear of the villains, but the fear of the vigilante "“ the prisoners refuse to get out of the cages because he is still out there.

Where? On the ceiling, perched like a real Man Bat, until the police arrives. The villains are also found, already tied up and branded. Just how brutal was he that he frightened the very people that he saved?

Naturally, because this is a Zack Snyder flick, we do wonder why in the world the rookie shot at Batman, especially since the Bat signal was up and running, and everybody already knew what the Caped Crusader was willing to do.

But besides this hiccup in storytelling, this was a more than perfect introduction of the Batman.
