Best selling author, screenwriter, and social commentator Bret Easton Ellis has listed Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as one of the year’s best films. It's refreshing to see someone of Ellis' intelligence and fame giving such high praise to the movie.

Ellis may be best known for writing American Psycho, an amazing novel that was adapted to film and featured performances from Christian Bale, Jared Leto, and Willem Dafoe all of whom have have played major roles in CBMs, and coincidentally Jared Leto and Willem Dafoe will share their talents once again as the DCEU progresses.

American Psycho currently sits at a 67% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one more movie that exists on a large list of great movies that have an unfortunate disadvantage of being judged by a percentage that does not do the movie or it's amazing performances justice.

The next addition to the DCEU is Suicide Squad, which will hit Theatres on August 5th, 2016.

You see the sad thing is, the opposite happens. Regardless of his nature as a critic, because of the general consensus of the film, a lot of people are going to value him less now as a critic because of his opinion on BvS.

Its unfortunate

@DrKinsolving Embed his tweet into the article. By the way, he's right about The Invitation. That movie was amazing, and the ending was dark as hell.

@Kr08 - Right on, I just finished it. I forgot how fast these articles are seen after their posted, haha.

Someone from American Psycho? Could it be that he was paid to say this by... BATMAN?!?!?

Wait, Psycho had a different Batman actor. NEVER MIND!!!
