Storyline

Following his titanic struggle against General Zod, Metropolis has been razed to the ground and Superman is the most controversial figure in the world. While for many he is still an emblem of hope, a growing number of people consider him a threat to humanity, seeking justice for the chaos he has brought to Earth. As far as Bruce Wayne is concerned, Superman is clearly a danger to society. He fears for the future of the world with such a reckless power left ungoverned, and so he dons his mask and cape to right Superman's wrongs. The rivalry between them is furious, fueled by bitterness and vengeance, and nothing can dissuade them from waging this war. However, a dark new threat arises in the form of a third man: one who has a power greater than either of them to endanger the world and cause total destruction! Written by Vue

I'm sad.
25 March 2016 | by See all my reviews

Being a huge DC fan, I was hoping for a movie that would bring us a Universe that was equal or better than the MCU. I guess not. Poor storytelling just killed this movie. We deserve better. I hope this doesn't stall things..Only time will tell.

The cameos were cool, Affleck killed it as Batman, and Wonder Woman was solid.

Overall though, the movie was one big advertisement for things to come, which did not work with Marvel's Age of Ultron, and you would think that with an extra year that Synder would have taken a look at that and made some changes.
