"The Dark Knight vs. The Man Of Steel!"

Rating: 7/10 (10 April 2016)

Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons and Laurence Fishburne star in this 2016 action film based on the DC Comics. This is sort of a sequel & cross-over to "Man of Steel" taking place a couple years later. Affleck (Daredevil) plays an older Bruce Wayne/Batman who has been fighting crime for over 20 years. He sees Superman aka Clark Kent (Cavill) as a threat to the world and is determined to stop him. Soon, they become pitted against each other by corrupt, young businessman, Lex Luthor (Eisenberg) who becomes a threat to both of them and will have to work together to stop him. Adams reprises her role as journalist and Superman's love interest, Lois Lane, Gadot plays Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman who helps the 2 heroes, Irons (Die Hard with a Vengeance) plays Bruce's butler, Alfred and Fishburne also reprises his role as Daily Planet editor, Perry White. I was a bit skeptical about the film and the casting of Affleck at first, but both were actually pretty good. The rest of the cast is good as well, there's neat effects and Hans Zimmer's score is excellent as usual. If you're a comic book/superhero fan, I recommend this.
