Episode description
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Scene 1.
Why did they include another telling of the Waynes' murder and Batman's origin?
What did the opening voice over mean when it referred to diamond absolutes, things falling, and a beautiful lie?
Why was it important that Thomas Wayne clenched his fist and went after the robber, and why was it important that the robber didn't seem to intend to kill the Waynes?
In this episode, I propose the following as one theme for the movie overall: Good and evil cannot be statically identified with above or below, with heaven and hell; rather, they are choices that individuals make in dynamic situations.
