CBM aesthetic was decided in 2016 with Batman V Superman/Civil War discourse. Every element of Batman V Superman was degraded to hail Hollywood's beloved franchise, the MCU
The following year Whedon went in and bleached every frame shot by Snyder
Good job "film intellectuals"
BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE was released 10 years ago today. Zack Snyder’s follow-up to Man Of Steel, and the first feature film to include DC’s Big Three together, the story behind the scenes is as monstrous as Doomsday…

"Zack Snyder's Justice League" is an f'ing masterpiece and is so freaking packed with iconic, emotional, stirring, awe inspiring imagery that I am compelled to watch it on a veritable constant loop because I adore it that much! There! I said it! I have to sit down.
I have said it from the beginning. I believe "Zack Snyder's Justice League" is a masterpiece and I believe "Batman V. Superman: Director's Cut" is damn near that classification as well. BTW, I also adored "Man of Steel" Zack Snyder speaks to my superhero soul! @ZackSnyder
Sometimes an image stays with you for years.
When the first photo of Henry Cavill as Superman was released, it instantly felt iconic — Superman emerging from the vault, calm, powerful, unstoppable.
While working on this Absolute Superman piece, I couldn’t resist paying homage to that image. It’s my interpretation of that moment, pushing the energy and intensity a bit further.
Superman has always been one of my favorite characters to draw.

Rewatched Batman v Superman. I still think it's one of the most insane movies released in my lifetime and almost everything in the comic book movie genre is a whimper compared to how this movie bangs.
@jolivarestolosa Obviously you didn’t watch the film. You don’t need to say “hope” every five minutes in a film for that message to be there. Maybe you watched the film when you were five and needed that message repeated to you like Blues Clues or Sesame Street. 🤷♀️
