5. The Plot Is Exactly As Everyone Expected
Even though the internet has spent the sum of the past year trying to guess what, exactly, will happen across the span of Batman V Superman, nobody could have suspected that the fans would pretty much wind up nailing the narrative beats in almost every capacity. That's to say, it turns out that Batman V Superman is exactly the film that everyone thought it would be: its plot, subplots, heroes and villains all precisely as anticipated. Which is kind of a let-down, truth be told. Because, well... despite the fact that the internet went on and on regarding the teased inclusions like Luthor creating Doomsday and such, it's a little disappointing to learn that the fanbase has been almost spot-on from the beginning. Heck,
even I wrote an article back in January that pretty much nailed every element of the storyline teased within this trailer, down to even the smallest details - and that was before a whole lot of information about Dawn Of Justice had been unveiled. When that article was written, there was a sense that most of it would turn out to be untrue, and yet the filmmakers seem to have opted for the most obvious - and thus expected - storyline. Why does it feel like a kick in the balls to learn that all our predictions turned out to be right? Probably because we expected more, right? Something a whole lot different?
