Anti-villain, yes. I can’t say he’s the hero of the book just because he prevented World War 3 by murdering a crap ton of innocent people to get there, and then acting so smug and self-righteous about it. It’s the same as any of other army he’s trying to stop. And I get that’s the point. You know he’s not going to feel guilty about it by his grand display of how good he believes he is. He clearly doesn’t really care about the world, he just needs another reason to tell himself that he’s the next Ramses or Alexander. He’s just going to continue selling perfume and action figures and self help books to people who are none-the-wiser. Really cementing him as a punchable face. Oh well, I understand the point and enjoyed the rest of the book.

Veight was such an interesting character though, the Before books DC put out a few years ago explained his origin brillaintly.

Its just a shame that the only new stuff we are getting from this property, media wise, is this terrible HBO series. Although, Jeremy Irons as Veight is brillaint.

Hearing different things about the series from different people. I heard the director’s cut of the Zac Snyder film is pretty great. My dad owns it on Blu-Ray, no surprise, so I don’t have to go out of my way to watch it.
