It’s even better the second time cause there’s so much going on To take in the first viewing. I have the same relationship with Bat flicks as well.
I laughed at not taking the fam first viewing reasons lol



>1. I WATCHED THE MOVIE FIRST. Ever since they ruined Hulk

>I have a 33 year history with movie Batman. The first one

>That being said, it fell the fuck off precipitously....

>Then comes Nolan's trilogy and I loved LOVED LOVED LOVED the

>I fucked with Batfleck, but they put him in some shitty ass

>With this movie, I wasn't sure what time I was going to go,
>whether I'd take my teenager or not (my family is usually

>are too concerned with their food and drink), and I saw it was

>Man of Steel, FTR was ok, but DCEU started a nuclear arms race

>The only part that rubbed me the wrong way was when Selina

>I am happy for this to be my only real gripe.
