I'd put BvS in the "bad" category too.
And I haven't seen Joker or BoP so I can't really judge those yet.
Though if I could put a "okay but neither good or bad" category in the middle, I'd probably put Shazam in there. Like, the movie was fun, and I enjoyed it, but it didn't impress me. I was happy that it was a DC movie that wasn't awful, it was great in that respect, but on its own merits it felt pretty average to me. Still, I'd watch a sequel.

My first impression of the suit is that it’s reminiscent of the tech armored approach the Arkham series took with the costume, especially the Arkham Knight game. The look of the cowl is unique, and looks quite a bit like West to me. I like what I’m seeing so far but I’m going to need to see the full and complete suit before I can have a more complete opinion on the suit.

His jaw and the brow on the cowl looks good, not feeling the bat symbol but it could be a prototype or a changeable feature of the suit.
Is this the first time we’ve gotten a Bat-Symbol without any ears in any medium? I‘m a bit curious if we’ll even get a Bat-signal in this movie.

There's been some talk that BoP might have a stronger hold over the coming days given the positive reviews its gotten. So I went over to www.boxofficemojo.com and crunched some numbers to see how it has done over the week. For comparison over the same period, I did the same for the other movies under the DCEU umbrella. (Yes, I included Green Lantern and Joker..so what? It's my list)

I'm sorry but it doesn't look good so far. Not only is BoP not holding well, it's even falling further behind. Still, it's too early to call. Let's see how it does over the weekend.
His Bat symbol looks like a repurposed gun, like in Detective #10000 by Kevin Smith. His collar looks like Sean Gordon Murphy's Batman design:
I kinda like it overall, for live action at least. The less mechanical the better, in my opinion. You can see his shoulder pads move up and down as he moves his arms, so it looks tactical without hindering his movements.
I wish they add the whites into his eyes in post, like in Deadpool or something. I'm sick of seeing Batman's eyes in live action movies. I want the whites!
I love the speculation that the bat symbol is the gun that killed his parents because it does look like a gun.
The cowl looks weird and makes Pattinson's head look long.
The suit is very arkham which is meh to me. I prefer non armored batman but it still looks good so far. I just want the white eyes!
The music sounded like the Bat theme.
The theme is kinda generic reminiscing Bat 89 church bells and the lighting is infrared blind as a bat I guess. After months of getting excited what a letdown
