Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice

Rating: 5/10 (26 March 2016)

It was a novel idea pitting Batman against Superman in a test to determine humanity's real superhero and champion. Both have a downside. Henry Cavill became this generation's Superman, while 43-year-old Ben Affleck assumed the role of an aging Batman. Batman is human, and it is his movie. Superman, although not a god, has godlike powers because he is from the the planet Krypton, where the chemistry and gravity differ greatly from those on Earth. It would seem that Batman would be no match for Superman. Lex Luthor, who is more Joker-like than previous Lexes, adds to the chaos. My real interest in this movie is Wonder Woman. Gal Gadot is skinny as a rail, although she does have a look. Lynda Carter is impossible to top, and I suppose Warner Brothers decided to take a different approach. The Amazon teams up with Batman and Superman to battle Doomsday and form the Justice League. Batman (Bruce Wayne) lives in Gotham. Superman (Clark Kent) lives in Metropolis. Both cities are really New York. Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) is from the island of Themyscira. Some say Paradise Island.
