I haven't seen the movie but it seems pretty obvious that it's referencing the United States abuse of power since superman is pretty much the epitome of America (we're all not from here, our vision and strength is our superpowers blah blah) while Batman fits more in to the role of the more secret operations of the government, classified missions and (specially now) counter terrorism. They even have a ground zero sanctuary where millions died and instead of the American flag it's a statue of superman. So the statement has roots in capitalism and military that the greater powers eventually cannibalize themselves to reach ridiculous goals of wealth or control. That's what I would do with the DC characters anyway since Nolan used batman to explain the Patriot Act with the cellphones to hunt down joker (a terrorist) and retake Gotham from what is probably right wing agenda (with a nuke no less). But like I said I haven't seen BvS so... I could be totally wrong on it. Also no paragraphs, this keyboard has no return key so we're just all kinds of meta tonight ladies and gentlemen. Or actually like 4 gentlemen, unless you count DJ has MPD then it's still like 7. Also hi ABF did you force any old technology on yourself and then tell everyone about it in terrifying detail lately because I bet you fucking did
