In his second dream there is a painting of Archangel Michael, often sees as a protector using a spear/sword to kill the dragon (magical being/demons). In the third dream the complexification has gone crazy but i think he projected his inner demons on Superman while acceding to the role of Messiah, he is crucified with some of his men and Sup perforate his chest, which evoque the death of Superman by the end.<br /><br />From my first viewing i thought he had some kind of inferiority complex. Superman is a magical being and Bruce has a hard time dealing with that, his unconsciouss eats him more and more, he looses sight. He act like the rational mind wanting to shut down it's opposite. This is reminiscent of Excalibur which is about the spirit of nature, gods and magic, letting place to the age of men in their shiny armors. I see the process has being reversed in some ways in BvS and i think it is one of Snyder intent, from his love of mythology.<br /><br />I have written a few analysis on different aspects of BvS, maybe it will interest you and complete your view (here is the one to the dreams: https://www.reddit.com/r/DC_Cinematic/comments/4ybzln/batman_messiah_complex_and_characterisation/).

But I really feel like that envy, "If I can't be god then I hate god" motive is definitely there, even if it's kind of unspoken and maybe the subconscious motive for Lex. (Harder to find evidence for it, but I think it's there.) If that is the case, then to me it's amazing how rich both Lex and Bruce are -- with Bruce he also has an underlying motive (failure and powerlessness) that explains his anger toward Superman, despite what Bruce says aloud to rationalize it.ottensamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09653631895217229875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5935799542324632108.post-1989362299295467292016-08-23T12:07:47.690-07:002016-08-23T12:07:47.690-07:00I think that the motif of "envy" fits Lu...I think that the motif of "envy" fits Luthor perfectly as it places him alongside other religious villains like Cain (who was envious of his brother Abel) and Lucifer (who was envious of his father God). Very-very great analysis.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14894981199195558492noreply@blogger.com
