Directed by Zack Snyder, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) is a key film in the DC Extended Universe where two of the most famous superheroes, Batman and Superman, collide. The film stars Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman, and Gal Gadot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman.
Set after the devastating events of Man of Steel, the film explores the consequences of Superman’s actions in Metropolis, where his battle with General Zod resulted in significant collateral damage. Bruce Wayne witnesses the devastation firsthand, which deepens his distrust of Superman and leads him to view him as a potential threat to humanity.
As tensions rise, Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) manipulates the situation and orchestrates events that lead to a confrontation between the two heroes. Luthor’s obsession with defeating Superman culminates in the creation of a monstrous enemy, Doomsday.
The film explores themes of fear, power and morality, focusing on the opposing ideologies of Batman and Superman: Batman represents vigilance and control, while Superman represents hope and justice. Their battle is ultimately a misunderstanding fueled by fear and manipulation.
Wonder Woman’s appearance marks a key moment as she charges into the battle to combat Doomsday. The film culminates in an epic showdown that sets the stage for the formation of the Justice League.
Batman v Superman received mixed reviews, with praise for the visual effects and acting but criticism for the pacing and tone. Nonetheless, the film remains an important chapter in the evolving history of DC movies.
