Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – Opening sequence and the Warehouse showdown

Another film that perfectly fits two standard categories: superhero cinema and DC Comics' movies. 2016's Batman v Superman is a movie that wanted to feed too many birds with one spoon. The first part worked somehow: we finally got a spectacular conflict of our two favorite heroes from Zack Snyder. The question remains, however, what's the place of Wonder Woman, the grotesque Lex Luthor, or the hopelessly realized monster from the film's finale, Doomsday, in all of this.

We chose two scenes, both featuring Affleck's Batman, which only proves that in retrospect, he was not as tragic a Bruce Wayne as everyone had thought when the cast was announced (later many viewers liked him in this role). The first is the opening sequence where Bruce Wayne witnesses the devastation Superman caused when he took the notion of "saving the world" in a somewhat frivolous way. This establishes Wayne's later attitude towards Clark Kent – when Bruce looks up to the sky (to spot Superman), we only see pure anger.

The second scene is Batman's exciting, three-minute fight inside a hangar, which I still find greatly saddening because it reminds me of the fact that the full-length movie about Batman with Ben Affleck in the lead role wasn't released.The brutality of this confrontation is reminiscent of the popular Arkham series of computer games, which uses a combat system that looks very similar. At first glance, the inspirations with the game are quite clear – and in this day and age, when staying relevant and up-to-date with modern trends, it is quite a feat.
