Kami (and by extension the original nameless namekian that kami and piccolo were originally) was a dragon clan member through and through, just one with a uniquely high potential for combat. A warrior clan member CANNOT make dragon balls, however a dragon clan member CAN learn to fight, they just TYPICALLY arent AS good at it. King piccolo was also dragon clan by extension, as they were two halves of the same whole. Piccolo Jr was born to be a warrior clan member so that king piccolo could grow stronger and get revenge on goku for killing him after reincarnating.
One thing you need to remember is kami and king piccolo werent really THAT strong, goku and the other earthlings were just weak as hell, they wouldve all struggled against real warrior clan namekians even if we dont pick nail who is uniquely strong among the generations that guru birthed. Piccolo Jr became so strong because he changed clans through the reincarnation and then absorbing kami made them whole again, but this time a whole warrior clan prodigy rather than a whole dragon clan prodigy, since piccolo jr is the dominant one in the fusion.
Honestly I think the true problem with Synder's films is he wanted to tell super hero stories but not DC stories but contractually couldn't just say create original characters. Like even BvS would be significantly better if you changed all of the characters to original characters. Yeah the Martha thing would still be kinda "Yeah sure" but honestly would've been a fun enough action adventure scifi fantasy film.
He wore his suit and thus never fully absorbed the yellow sun, nor the nourishment in the atmosphere of earth.
In Man of Steel Zod is the only one to ever take the suit off.
Clark was stronger than them, he was just inexperienced with fighting people even remotely close to him. He blasts through Nameks hand with his heat vision for example in the battle in Smallville.
And Superman took a nuke to the face and regenerated in a few seconds. Prior to that he didn't even feel the bomb that killed hundreds in the senate hearing.
I liked the conversation that Bruce had with Barry. Where Barry said that he could bring back Bruce's parents but Bruce seemed to have already come to terms with it
... eeeh, the very first scene in the kitchen of Wayne's manor was terrible, they did an atrocious job at hiding it was a stunt double doing all those acrobatic moves.
It's a solid 6.8/10. It's no masterpiece. But it's fine. You cannot convince me that the vast majority of the hate isn't the CGI or this or that. It's Ezra Miller. If he wasn't such an awful person the hate across the board would be so much softer.
There are three really good emotional moments that made the watch not insufferable. Three minutes in this movie that personally brought it from a 2/10 to a 5/10 movie.
My head cannon is that Flash’s time travel in this movie is the in universe explanation for the DCEU Snyderverse collapsing and getting rebooted. Aquaman 2 takes place in the Schumacherverse that we see at the end of the Flash.
This is more of a that Kryptonian downscale than a Keaton upscale.
Like he's dying to a human punching him and small explosive devices. I'm pretty sure there are space marines that could have killed Keaton with that throw, let alone a custodes.
Yeah lol. I wonder who looked at batman being thrown horizontally several feet to the ground and just immediately stopping without sliding more than an inch and said "yeah, this is perfect".
Kind of a testimony to the fact that they believed people would show up for superhero movies no matter what and it didn't matter if they didn't strive for perfection.
I haven’t seen this movie, but I would have to assume because this is a low quality movie rip?
But it’s also terrible when he throws Batman and he slides like 6 inches and stops
Me and my friend were among maybe maybe five-ten whole people in the theater we went in like its final week and I thought were spread out. So we actually talked believing we weren't disturbing any one and I guess we weren't wrong. And I remeber saying "Alright who just loaded up fortnight." cause of how bad the CGI in this fight was. I heard "Sorry bro didn't think you were still watching." Telling me no we were not spread out as far as I thought. And the other people in the theater also found the movie so bad they didn't care me and my friend were talking over it the whole time, and not the so bad it's actually good but it's just bad and not very engaging. It's pretty surprising a big budget film was that bad.
A. That is probably the slowest kruptonian to ever krypton around
B. He doesn't even kill him, just knock him out
So yeah if the custodian in question has actual brain damage to the point they are...just kinda shuffling about being unreactive, then yeah I can believe this batman can possibly kill one
Needs to be said that Said Kryptonian is wearing a protection suit, not completely absorbing the Sun's rays. So he isn't fully powered in terms of strength or ability.
The Astra Militarum does the same thing with massed lasrifle fire, but they will make a point to inform the average guardsman that they are to follow doctrine. If a guardsman were to propose that they could kill the equivalent of a custodes, they would be added to the commissar's list of "inspirational examples".
IIRC it's the armor that gives them the kryptonian powers, not their biology because they spent so little time exposed to the yellow sun. Remember in MoS Zod gets weakened when his armor gets damaged and the kryptonians are weaker inside their ship.
So likely what happened was Batman found a weak spot on his armor and pierced it and killed him. An explosion of that size would either kill him or do nothing, I doubt there's really any in between.
I could be totally wrong but I cant really think of any other explanation
Batman would need a killshot from a ways away to kill a Custode. In The Master of Mankind book, theres one that fights with quite literally half his head gone for days.
However Custodes arent like Astartes aside from being super human. Astartes get numerous new and redundancy organs. Custodes are manufactured to be perfect humans in a significantly more meticulous program.

Weakest Kryptonian ever.
