1. You Need To Have Extensive Comic Book Knowledge
If you didn’t already know everything about the characters from the comic books, you have a good chance at walking out not understanding what you just watched. There are a ton of heavy-handed references to Joker, Robin, Riddler, Two-Face, and Jimmy Olsen, but those could all be easter eggs. It’s the characters that really suffer if you don’t already know everything about them. In Man of Steel we are introduced to Clark Kent and Lois Lane’s budding romance. In BvS they are living together and madly in love. How have they gotten to this stage? Who knows; it’s never explained. But at least we are treated to the beginning in the last movie; Alfred and Bruce Wayne’s relationship isn’t even touched on. If you didn’t know the details before hand, it’ll feel like some old dude just lives with Bruce. Wonder Woman’s backstory isn’t discussed at all. Fans outwardly were worried that Snyder would just have her arrive in the final fight with no explanation as to who she is, which is 100% what happens. After seeing the movie I heard an audience member ask their movie going partner why she used glowing string (which was a significant part of the climax…). Then there are a number of other unexplained portions that people who don’t know the origins off hand won’t understand. Why isn’t Bruce Wayne living in Wayne Manor? Why is there a giant light with a bat symbol? Why is there a random chunk of Kryptonite in the ocean? A movie shouldn’t leave viewers with more questions than they started with. The movie relied so heavily on the fact that there are more movies scheduled that it chose to leave viewers in the dark assuming that each of them will pay the money for a ticket to EVERY upcoming movie just to understand what happened in this one.
