Rebecca Johnson, a fan of BvS, has compiled a collection of videos explaining her passion for the film, and shared them on YouTube.

She's editing more videos to share, but at the time of writing, her analysis only includes:

Cinematography (EDIT: original video had appeared to be taken down, but it's back up and running again.)

Lex Luthor

Lois Lane

I find the Lois Lane analysis the best so far, and makes a lot of good points that prove she's more than just a damsel in distress than people claim. Let's not forget that she held her own against the Kryptonians in MOS either. I also appreciate Rebecca's rebuttal to Margot Kidder's criticism of the DCEU take.

Looking back from my initial reaction to the film, I thought Lois had less of a purpose to serve than she did in MOS, mainly because I wasn't too convinced that her investigation into the bullets from Africa were going anywhere. Now, although my perception of that has changed because the Ultimate Edition explored more of her investigations and and her efforts helped getting Lex arrested, I realise now that I wasn't giving her enough credit even without that UE footage. Whether you watch the theatrical version or the uncut version, Lois still served a purpose by giving Superman emotional support whenever he needed it.

Christopher Nolan: He breaks it in...

Jonathan Nolan: ...the first two.

Rebecca is rock solid. She's been a rather outspoken fan of BVS since day one, as far as I know. Good finds!

Here is a new video by Rebecca analysing the Christian imagery in BvS.

Rebecca uploaded a new video analysing how hope is a theme in BvS, in spite of the darkness Superman and Batman faces and how they overcome it. It includes her rebuttal against the criticism for the film's tone, and draws her own personal experience where she found hope by overcoming cancer. Quite touching. It's perhaps my favourite analysis of hers yet.

It's a short video, but Rebecca analyses the question about morality and how the film poses the question if people can set the objective to identify goodness. This was for an online fan event.
