Now I know I'm going to sound like a Snyder Cultist but all I hear is how Batfleck gets people killed. Has anyone ever pointed out how many people are killed by or left to die by Keaton Batman?
>that scene where he just drives into a factory full of goons and drops a bomb
>when he literally tells Joker he'll kill him and then does
>that one black henchmen he launches down the church belfry
Not to mention Nolan's infamous
>i won't kill you but i won't save you
and taking the blame for Two-Face's death
So why did people start caring about whether Batman leaves a trail of bodies in his wake? It just seems like it's inevitable given who he is.

Some people, but I think most people ignore it because of nostalgia.

jesus anon who gives a fuck? those movies were 40 years ago and the flash movie probably adds like a jillion to it anyway like who the fuck has time for that mess

Because this was meant to be more of a pulpy film rather than a campy action movie. Think of like Zorro. Zorro goes and he slits throats of the bad guys and then he gets the barefoot damsel in distress while riding into the sunrise.
Same shit happens here Batman kicks everyone's ass and we can't care because they're bad guys and then he gets the barefoot Vicki Vale while looking over the city. Same thing happened with Superman the movie. They even gave him a Bond Girl in the form of Tessmacher

Unironically go back and watch this movie and you will see the Joker henchmen did more toavoid killing civillians than Batman does. They'll shoot up into the air while the crowd ducks. Meanwhile Batman flies towards the Joker with guns and bombs blazing and somehow misses him.
And this scene
>>154106652
He does attempt to kill Joker again. He knocks him over the building and Joker happens to land on a platform.

The most that Batfleck does in BvS is kick a grenade into a room a bad guy happens to be in and the bat brand he gives to sexual predators who end up getting killed in prison

No, anon, this has never once been brought up. You’re the very first, we haven’t had countless threads with snyderfags going “but what about..” for the last ten fucking years. We haven’t had countless threads where the execution of what’s going on is what matters, how in Keaton’s Batman him suddenly killing wasn’t a plot point and it was essentially hand waved since like what this anon >>154106238 anon said and in Affleck’s Batman it’s a plot point that ends up not making sense because his Batman killing is supposed to show how he’s going off the deep end but then immediately after the “Martha” scene where he supposedly regains his humanity he murders a fuck ton of random goons in the warehouse. This hasn’t been brought up and handwaved a million fucking times by snyderfaggots. Very first time, right here

Batfleck blatantly blows up the guy holding Martha hostage

Don’t forget while emulating the part from Dark Knight Returns. Which really doesn’t fit in the narrative of the movie but he said the thing!

So what? Adam West's Batman killed people, albeit unintentionally, in the movie where he and Robin punch the dehydrated goons and they cease to exist.

Several times.
But it makes up in style and pacing. Nolan and Snyder don't have that going for them.

>>154105467
Yeahhhh I didn't like Burton's work either. Same brand of "Fuck the source material I'm doing it my way" as Snyder, he just has marginally more artistic vision.
>>
>>154105467
Keaton Bats kills people for no other reason than the immature desire to distance itself from Adam West Batman. I'd argue Batman 1989 might be the dumbest Batman movie.
>>
>>154105467
its better in Burtons movies because hes still a pulpish avenger it is appropriate he kills people because hes scary and imposing. Also his relationship with the cops isnt set in stone like they support him, as far as I remember. The closer he works with the police like in Nolans movies the more he has to not kill people. Also with Snyders Batman this applies because he was an outlaw and wanted, Superman assumed hes a criminal basically, its fine he kills people too. Also its portrayed as hes fed up with being batman so maybe that adds to it.

If you want a real answer, OP, it's the same thing that fucks up all of Snyder's work, the ridiculous attempts at self-seriousness. In Batman 89 or the 60s show the tone is goofy/pulpy enough that you can shrug most stuff off. But Snyder demands that you take his work so seriously that it's impossible no to focus on aspects like this.

I really dont agree with this just because theres dramatic music and lighting/shadows I dont think he is demanding any more seriousness than Nolans movies or mcu stuff. and constant joking or irony is what makes people appreciate playing it straight anyway. Batman kills joker in dark knight returns, hes directly using that costume for the batsuit aka hes using that tone.
