Batman V Superman would be less depressing with cats in the lead roles

As the extended “Ultimate Edition” of Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice hits digital platforms, fans have the chance to reevaluate the gloomy, much-criticized blockbuster and decide whether it really was as disappointing as it seemed back in March. Does making Dawn Of Justice longer solve the film’s narrative problems or merely exacerbate those problems? Viewers who want to devote several hours of their lives to pondering these matters may now do so at their leisure. Or, alternately, they can spend two and a half action-packed minutes watching cute cats dressed as superheroes zip around the screen and destroy stuff with impunity. Totally their choice. The short Batcat V Supercat is the latest creation of filmmaker Kaipo Jones, and it’s a marvel of both animal wrangling and special effects wizardry. In it, a cat dressed as Superman notices a mysterious green light in the sky and pursues it at lightning speed, causing untold havoc along the way. Who could be responsible for this? It could only be a cat dressed up as Batman, who is using the ultimate laser pointer to summon the “Cat Of Steel.”
