    Dark Knight Rises was and still is a mess. BB and Dark Knight are paced well, whereas BvS just sputtered 90 sec scenes at you without coherence. with BB and Dark Knight, things seem to have consequence, whereas in BvS, even a Congress bombing felt like an afterthought in the 2.5hr miasma of scenes without closure. and most, MOST importantly, Nolan understood his characters a whole lot better than Snyder did with his characters, Superman especially.
    Nolan might have, on the record, "hand-picked" Snyder for MoS, but i still believe that was only for PR purposes to boost the film.

      BB and The Dark Knight are very boring now and each has their own set of plotholes, on top of the drab aesthetics and boring music. I honestly don't know how they are so well loved when what came before was Batman Returns. Yes AT THE TIME the Nolan universe was refreshing but it's been years now and we can see it with objectivity and let's be honest, those films suck. I also don't think Nolan had any real understanding of the characters, otherwise Alfred would never have gone away in Rises. It sucks that he also felt the need to insert or recreate scenes from iconic comic stories into his movies but with no of the depth, action or development that surrounded those scenes in the original stories. Now we are unlikely to see a Knightfall or Long Halloween on screen thanks to him.

        I've seen BB and Dark Knight recently. I can tell you, that Nolan DEFINITELY understood Batman better than Zack Snyder and makes better looking than films than Snyder trying to ape Fincher in BvS

          Why do you use Snyder as a standard though?

            I'm not using him as a standard. I'm just saying it's clearly night and day to how Nolan and Snyder shoot their films

              Nolan's films are teal and orange too.

                        Because shooting "digital crap" on digital cameras makes the final result look almost cartoonish. See deadpool and ant-man.

                            Not bad. Ugly.

                              Was it shot digitally? I didn't see them, just the trailers and they look just like every other film today.,

                                Indeed. Ant-Man is one of the ugliest looking MCU films there are, which is funny because they all look alike. And Deadpool was made for a relatively low price for a CBM. However, it didn't look good.
                                I'm so glad DCEU films are being shot on film. They look better than most if not all CBM films shot digitally.
                                War, what is it good for?
