Read our review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But for watching Batman himself, it’s a purely joyless experience that leans into the biggest problems of its predecessor Man of Steel instead of course-correcting them. Even some of the heavy-handed Justice League cameos are a blast. It’s a better movie, technically speaking, than Justice League, and it does lots of things right: Wonder Woman’s introduction is fun and there are some interesting questions raised about Superman’s place in the world. Except where Joel Schumacher went with camp and bat-nipples, Zack Snyder went grimdark with a Batman out for blood. Like B&R, Dawn of Justice is a gross miscalculation of what most viewers wanted from the Dark Knight on the big screen (it received the same audience-awarded CinemaScore as the Catwoman and Green Lantern movies).
In many ways, Batman v Superman has a direct correlation to the movie that nearly killed big-screen Batman 20 years before it, Batman & Robin.
