Bill Finger (developer) co-created Batman, originally named "the Bat-Man" who first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939). However, Bob Kane didn't publicly acknowledge Finger's contributions until years after Finger's death. As such, this film is the first theatrical feature film to officially credit Finger as co-creator of Batman. See more »
Goofs
When Batman removes his mask in the cave after the Batmobile chase, his eye makeup is gone. Similarly after Superman removes Batman's mask in the Knightmare scene the eye makeup is also not present. However, eye makeup has always been used to make Batman's eyes look dark in film adaptations since Batman (1989) to make the costume look like it is in the comics and have never shown Bruce Wayne actually wearing the makeup after he takes the mask off.

There was a time above... a time before... there were perfect things... diamond absolutes. But things fall... things on earth. And what falls... is fallen. In the dream, it took me to the light. A beautiful lie.

Sadly, a step down from Man of Steel. First of all, I was a bit skeptical about this movie, and thought the runtime (about 2 and a half hours) was way too long (and I wasn't completely wrong though). The action scenes were better than what we saw in the trailer. Although the doomsday scenes had terrible CGI (you'll know it when you'll see it), but overall I was happy. The movie had a lot crazy-packed action (it was directed by Zack Snyder, what do ya expect?) but the plot didn't know where it was going. A lot of scenes were a treat for me to see and I got goosebumps watching them. There was more to Jesse Eisenberg than what I saw (and hated, like most people) in the trailer. I made a bet to my friend that he'll suck in the movie, guess I'll have to pay up. He really WAS good. But just like any other movie, it's not perfect and has flaws. You can see that Zack tried hard very hard to fit everything nicely into the movie, but over stuffing was bound to happen. Other than that, I think there are some fan-boys who'll be satisfied no matter how bad the movie is. Hope my review didn't give away any spoilers in any way whatsoever, and that you end up enjoying the movie as much as (or more than) I did.
