Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is a 2016 superhero film set in the DC Extended Universe, directed by Zack Snyder. It featured Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth and Amy Adams as Lois Lane. The film made nearly a billion dollars at the box office but got mixed reviews. Many loved Affleck's performance as Batman but they didn't like the incoherent plot. The "Ultimate Edition" released on home video reinserted 30 minutes onto the film and gained a better reception. It was followed by Justice League and its director's cut Zack Snyder's Justice League.
