‘Batman v Superman’ Review: Even Wonder Woman Can’t Save This Unholy Mess

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the superhero face-off Warner Bros. hopes will help it give Disney a run for its spandexed riches, plays off a bazillion-dollar idea: Pit the most iconic DC Comics hero of all time against the other most iconic DC Comics hero of all time, thereby resetting the superhero game through the ultimate clash of titans. Instead, Zack Snyder’s would be game-changer sets the big business of spandexed spectacle back a step, because—shocker!—watching Batman and Superman rage at each other like little boys makes for a pretty tedious two and a half hours. When you walk away from the terminally unfocused BvS with no desire to see another Batman or Superman story ever again, someone up the chain has made a terrible mistake.

It merely weakens him until he gets away from it

The answer is a Kryptonite milkshake.

Sorry no pic.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Ben Affleck?

Nein, danke.

[driftless2]

hey, if they can have Batman vs. Superman, when is “Santa Claus vs. The Martians II” coming out?

[V_TWIN]

Well, looks like it might be moving in that direction:

I'm still waiting for "Megaforce 2"!!

[V_TWIN]

Apologies, can’t do it. Cubicle/network firewall restricted.

Happy to oblige

[discostu]

Depends on the era of the story and the color of the kryptonite.

[bert]

Here ya go.....

[LS]

Ugh. That’s far from Wonder Woman.

[who knows what evil?]

Critics HATE Zack Snyder. Box office will tell the tale...

[LS]

No, the NEW WW.

[discostu]

This is supposed to be setting up the League.

I look at that picture and should see a beautiful woman, but I don’t.

Depending upon one’s spirit, that same exterior can look mighty ugly.

When I look at her, I only see a cold, nasty spirit.

I am waiting for one of them to be classified as queer.

DC's television line-up is packed(so to speak) with queers. The actor portraying 'The Flash' on the big screen ID's himself as 'queer'.

[yuleeyahoo]

Warners has only had big success with the Batman series, ergo everything must fit in the Batman mold.

This is the reasoning that gave us “Man of Steel” and “Green Lantern”.

[GreenHornet]

Batman cannot defeat Superman so there is a plot flaw. I am waiting for one of them to be classified as queer.

I remember reading about a year ago that DC was relaunching "Green Lantern" as a gay superhero.
