Saw it yesterday. I guess I'm becoming jaded, but my overall impression of the movie is 'meh.'

Lex Luthor was like a whiney little wimp, not the confident, calculating character I've seen in comics and stuff. He seems like he would have been better as the Riddler.

The one thing I found VERY annoying with this movie was the constant chatter from TVs reporting on events in the movie, with carefully placed cameos from real life media celebrities. It made it feel a little too real, and not like a fantasy movie that I could watch to get a break from 24/7 mass media. I get that they are trying to make the consequences for god-like superpowers more 'real' feeling, but it was annoying to see Nancy Grace in a movie. It's going to make the movie terribly dated, too.

I thought I'd hate Ben Affleck as Batman, but he wasn't too bad. I think the character is getting a little worn out, though. How many actors have portrayed Batman now?

They could have shown him developing his new suit, too. Like, all of a sudden he just has fancy new powered armor? An R&D sequence of him prepping to fight superman more than just beating an old tire with a sledgehammer would have been welcome.

It seems like they were trying to establish a lot of threads all at once. One minute Batman is ready to stab Supes in the face, the next he's friending him on Facebook because his mommy is named Martha too.
