I still haven't seen the movie, but I knew he was in it because Henry Cavill's name was listed in the credits. Plus, anyone with knowledge of Superman comics, or common sense, would know that Superman was not really dead at the end of Batman v. Superman.
This is one of the biggest problem with superhero movies, in my opinion. There are no stakes. None of the characters can ever die or even be injured in any permanent way.
depends on the movie. The MCU films, and the DCEU films which attempt to copy them, are very formulaic, predictable, cookie cutter movies that all lead to pre-determined outcomes that everyone knows. (though... with contracts starting to run out there is speculation that there will be some deaths in Infinity War) ... but apart from those films there are other comic book movies that take bigger risks. Either because they are allowed to be one director's vision and represent a big enough departure from the source material that they can do something different (Logan, The Dark Knight, X-Men 3 almost but they chickened out at the end)... or because they're based on a dramatic stand-alone story and don't exist just to endlessly build franchises (Watchmen, 300, Sin City)
It got a lot of criticism and fairly negative reviews. But while it certainly could have done many things better or differently, it wasn't the worst movie of the year and created a nice set up for more things to come in the DC movie universe
