Batman V Superman: 10 New Hints It's Going To Suck (But Why There’s Still Hope)

10. Batman With A Gun

The Concern: Though Batman€™s €˜no killing€™ policy is well-known at this point, his feelings on the issue are really much broader. Batman has a severe disdain of all firearms ever since his parents were killed with one. So seeing him armed with such a weapon doesn€™t feel like it belongs. The speaks to a larger fear surrounding the movie about the characterization of Batman. This fear is based on nothing more than not wanting to see a beloved character adapted improperly, and seeing him carrying a gun like this isn€™t helping. Why There€™s Still Hope: It€™s worth remembering that Batman has wielded a variety of guns before, in both the comics and The Dark Knight Rises. So it€™s not as if this is completely out of character, it€™s just an aspect of his hardware that isn€™t often seen. And even if he is wielding some sort of gun, that hardly confirms that this won€™t still be a faithful adaptation of the character. One piece of equipment hardly speaks to an entire personality.
