The human element of the Battle of Metropolis

We said it – Batman v Superman didn’t live up to our expectations, mainly because of Zack Snyder’s lack of coherence. But, at the same time, the director also came up with this neat trick of bringing the much needed human element into Man of Steel’s Battle of Metropolis.

In very few words, the battle of Metropolis is seen from the perspective of Bruce Wayne, who doesn’t need a suit and a cape to be heroic. The scene in which he runs into the rubble without consideration for his own life to save his employees is tremendous.

Furthermore, the fact that the building in which Zod realized his potential was his own added to the gravity of the scene. In Man of Steel, it was just a simple building. In Batman v Superman, it’s revealed that it was filled with good people, people who were friends with Bruce Wayne.

Nice touch, as said.
