I agree about Kevin Costner. Generally not a big fan but he was the best thing about it for me. I just thought it wanted to be so much more than it was. It played at epic but never really delivered it: the same thing that was wrong with Watchmen (besides everything else that was wrong with Watchmen.) The film just draaags. I ultimately think the problem is Snyder.
Nolan's Batmans are arthouse blockbusters, where the sense of the epic never seems strained or pretentious. There aren't many superheroes beside Batman that can carry that amount of weight, but Superman is definitely one of them, which only makes MoS all the more frustrating. Dr Manhattan's another one who could handle the real epic treatment. It won't happen but I'd love to see Nolan do something around him.
BvS was a disaster but I did think Wonder Woman came out of it pretty well.
