You know, Jorge, they

overdid the constantly saving Lois shtick in MoS, too. I'm super bummed that they didn't fix that this time around. That sucks.

Big spoilers
Spoiler: show
He kills Doomsday, and consequently himself. That's it. Some people are speculating that he kills a man early in the movie, but it is actually explicitly stated that he doesn't.

Yessssss, Armond White just dropped his rave review (as I expected he would). I'm almost as excited to read his review as I am to see the movie.

I only skimmed the review to avoid spoilers but he was pretty off on Snyder having superheroes fight as somehow being different since its a long established comic book troupe that when two heroes meet there is a misunderstanding...they fight...realize they are on the same side...then team up to fight the real villain. Its comics 101. It's such a cliche it sets eyes rolling. It's the perfunctory issue you have to get through to get to the real story. Then saying Nolan's Batman was enjoyed because it matches the comics is even farther off. Its the opposite really.

He shouldn't be sad. The movie will be massively successful regardless, and pretty much every review has singled him out as a highlight.
