Question: Is the 'the light and the way' quote on his

>>85418617
he likes jesus i guess

"the light, the way"
He uses laser lights to kill people

Does it need to be?

>>85418714
No, but can't I ask? There's a reason it's there, just wondering if it's brought up in the film.

>>85418714
Everything needs to be explicit stated to the audience, or else, how can we be sure what the movie means.

>>85418818
he's shown to be christian, likely relates to his faith

>>85418869
Now what about the religious connotations of Joker's tattoo?

>>85418869
Sweet. Does he only kill 'bad guys'?

>>85418888
There are none but there is a dead robin.

>>85419807
We only see him kill a mobster for another mobster, so as far as we know he only kills "bad guys", but he kills bad guys for bad guys

That's not the only religious quote on his costume and it's not the only religious quote in his dialogue, it's a big part of his character.

THIS

I legitimately can't believe that people think BvS is a bad movie when all the symbolism is right there

>>85418617
Could be a pun referring to laser sights and the optics on his eyepiece

>>85419119
Unfortunately yes

>>85420528
Symbolism alone doesn't make a good movie.

>>85419119
Yeah and only men, not women or children.

>>85420573
He just said he doesn't kill women and children.
His debut was him killing a guy who was going to the police.

There was like one line where he talked about being the wrath of God but I think that was it

which isn't really what the verse is....

>>85420528
Because no one wanted a deconstruction of power or examination of the superhero genre as religious commentary. Everyone wanted a movie about a man who dresses up as a bat and an alien that can fly fighting crime together.

>>85421151
>fighting crime together
>vs in the title

don't pretend to speak for the masses then get it this wrong

>>85419119
his original comics origin was basically a guy thinking Batman wasn't going hard enough against criminals and went all "punisher" until Batman put a stop to it, until later they changed it to make him a bit more of a merc.

>>85420590
Hey, it worked for Leon.

>>85418617
Why even give him the target if it's going to be over his shoulder?

>>85418617
I remember he threatened the wrath of God on one of the guards at the beginning, but it feels like they weren't so sure about that particular characterization so they kinda just left it.

>>85421745
No it didn't it got him killed

>>85418617
is it a quote? it's not a direct quote of a biblical passage like >>85418869 seems to think, though it's reminiscent of John 14:6

presumably it's just meant to be a cheap way of pointing out that he's the evil Batman - no powers, trains hard, black, in prison for doing what he does instead of a billionaire, not the night

>>85422786
Leon wasn't killed by a woman or child, he was mortally wounded by the NYPD and killed by the large explosion he set off to kill them

>>85422786
but he got to cuddle with NatNat so it was worth it

>>85421745

Deadshot isn't supposed to be Leon.

>>85420590
That's so sexist.

>>85419119
In the opening he kills a guy who was going to give mob info to the police.

>>85418617
Ayer's ''writing on bodies/costumes'' fetish

>>85420528
Because it was bad symbolism
Except the bit in the church that was nice

>>85428599
Does he do that a lot

>>85419119
Dreams of killing the bat, so no he's a parasite that kills for money

>>85420528
Symbolism by itself doesn't make a movie good. Specially when it's blatant, pandering symbolism on top of a trainwreck of a movie.
