@m4noftomorrow Jokes aside, I think it works well for the movie. I think that if there were a scene like that in the opening, it probably wouldn’t have given the LuthorCorp fight as much of an impact, since it’s the first time we see him take out such a large group.
The single shot of the shadow of his hand forming a spiked ball sealed the deal for me that we’re getting a genuine comic book VILLAIN movie here, not a storyline trying to make him anti-hero, but an actual honest-to-goodness villain. I can’t wait!
