Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a 2016 American superhero film featuring the DC Comics characters Batman and Superman, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is a follow-up to 2013's Man of Steel and the second installment in the DC Extended Universe. The film is directed by Zack Snyder, with a screenplay written by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer, and stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter and Gal Gadot. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is the first live-action film to feature both Batman and Superman, as well as the first theatrical film to feature live-action portrayals of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash.

The film was announced at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con International, after the release of Man of Steel. Snyder and Goyer were retained from the previous installment. Snyder stated that the film would take inspiration from the Batman comic book series The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, but clarified that it would follow an original premise. The incarnation of Batman in the film would also be different than the character's portrayal in the previous Batman film trilogy. Pre-production began at East Los Angeles College in October 2013, with principal photography starting in May 2014 in Detroit, Michigan. Additional filming also took place in Chicago and concluded in December 2014.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice premiered at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City on March 19, 2016. It is scheduled to be released in the United States on March 25, 2016 in 2D, 3D, IMAX 3D, 4DX, premium large formats and 70 mm prints.

Plot

Following the events after Man of Steel, Gotham City-based vigilante Batman travels to Metropolis to preemptively combat Superman, fearing what would happen if the latter is kept unchecked, while another threat endangers humankind.[5]

Cast

Main Cast

Supporting Cast

Ray Fisher, Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller were cast as Victor Stone / Cyborg, Arthur Curry / Aquaman and Barry Allen / The Flash respectively in smaller roles, which will lead into their inclusion in the Justice League film.[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]

Brooke Baldwin, Dana Bash, Anderson Cooper, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Nancy Grace, Soledad O'Brien, and Charlie Rose portray themselves as news anchors or television guests. Senator Patrick Leahy makes a cameo as himself.[34]

Kevin Costner reprises his role as Jonathan Kent, Clark Kent's deceased father, as a cameo appearance. Patrick Wislon portrays his voice as the President of the United States. Dan Amboyer was cast as a Drone Pilot, but was uncredited. Carla Gugino reprises her voice of Kelor, the Kryptonian A.I. service-robot. Jena Malone was cast as Barbara Gordon, and although her scenes were cut from the theatrical release, they will appear in the Ultimate Edition home release.[35][36][37]

Development

"... after Man of Steel finished and we started talking about what would be in the next movie, I started subtly mentioning that it would be cool if he faced Batman... You're in a story meeting talking about, like, who should [Superman] fight if he fought this giant alien threat Zod who was basically his equal physically, from his planet, fighting on our turf... You know, who to fight next?... But I'm not gonna say at all that when I took the job to do Man of Steel that I did it in a subversive way to get to Batman. I really believe that only after contemplating who could face [Superman] did Batman come into the picture."

— Snyder, on how Batman came into the film[38]

In June 2013, Warner Bros. announced that director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David S. Goyer would return for a Man of Steel sequel,[39] with the studio considering a 2015 release for the film.[40] The following month, Snyder confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con International that the sequel to Man of Steel, now set for release in 2015, would feature Superman and Batman meeting for the first time in a cinematic format. Goyer and Snyder would co-write the story, with Goyer writing the script, and[7][41] Christopher Nolan involved in an advisory role as executive producer.[42] According to Snyder, the film will take inspiration from the comic The Dark Knight Returns.[43] In November 2013, however, Snyder clarified that the film would not be based on the graphic novel. "If you were going to do that, you would need a different Superman. We’re bringing Batman into the universe that now this Superman lives in."[44] Batman v Superman marks the first appearance of Wonder Woman in a live-action, theatrical film,[14] which Warner Bros. had been developing as far back as 1996.[45] In December 2013, Chris Terrio was hired to rewrite the script, due to Goyer's commitments in other projects. Terrio had previously collaborated with Affleck on Argo.[46]

The film's official title Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was revealed in May 2014.[47] Snyder stated that having the "v" in the title instead of "vs." was a way "to keep it from being a straight 'versus' movie, even in the most subtle way".[48] Henry Cavill later stated, "I wouldn't call this a Superman sequel [...] This is Batman versus Superman. It's a separate entity altogether. It's introducing the Batman character and expanding upon the universe, which was kicked off by Man of Steel."[49] Forbes noted that although the film originated as a sequel to Man of Steel, it was "revamped into a backdoor pilot for Justice League and/or an eventual stand-alone Batman movie."[50]

Casting

Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Harry Lennix, Christina Wren and Michael Shannon reprise their roles from Man of Steel.[21][22][23][51] Joining the cast are Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth,[51] Ray Fisher as Victor Stone,[27] Jason Momoa as Aquaman,[28][29] and Tao Okamoto as Lex Luthor's assistant Mercy Graves.[18] Scoot McNairy, Callan Mulvey, and Jena Malone have been cast in unspecified roles.[12][19][35][52]

Dawn of Justice is Affleck's second film as a comic book superhero; he played Daredevil in the 2003 film of the same name,[53] and was initially reluctant to accept playing Batman, citing that he "felt [I] didn't fit the traditional mold. But once Zack showed me the concept, and that it would be both different from the great movies that Chris[topher Nolan] and Christian [Bale] made, but still in keeping with tradition, I was excited."[54] Affleck previously stated in 2006 that Daredevil had "inoculated myself from ever playing another superhero".[55] Snyder felt that casting an older Batman would be a layered juxtaposition to a younger Superman, while "bear[ing] the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain[ing] the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne."[6] Nolan was involved with the casting of Affleck and he was the first actor Snyder approached for the part.[42] The director had also discussed the part with Josh Brolin.[56] Bale admitted he wanted to play Batman again after The Dark Knight Rises,[57] though he stated that his Batman does not belong in any other film and he was never approached by Warner Bros. to play the role again.[58][59]

Snyder commented on casting Eisenberg as Luthor, "Having Jesse in the role allows us to explore that interesting dynamic, and also take the character in some new and unexpected directions".[9] Olga Kurylenko was considered for the role of Wonder Woman before Gadot was cast.[60] Producer Charles Roven revealed that this incarnation of Wonder Woman would use the character's origins in The New 52, wherein the character would be a demigoddess, and the daughter of Zeus. This deviates from the character's original origins, where she was "a clay figure brought to life by the gods".[16] Dawn of Justice is Ray Fisher's feature film debut,[61] and the first live-action film to feature Cyborg,[62] whose role will become more significant in future DC Comics films.[63] It is also the live-action theatrical debut of Aquaman.[64]

Affleck's casting caused significant backlash from comic book fans, with multiple online petitions demanding his removal from the role; unlike previous Batman actors, he was not considered intimidating enough for the role by the protestors.[65] Via social media, fans criticized Gadot's small frame in contrast to Wonder Woman's warrior-like build in the comics.[66] Responding to this, Gadot has stated that she has been participating in various training regtimens to achieve a body that stays closer to the source material.[67] Fans criticized Eisenberg's casting as Luthor, feeling that the then 30-year-old was too young for the role, and not physically imposing enough.[68]

Design

Michael Wilkinson is reprising his duties as costume designer. He updated the Superman suit from Man of Steel slightly so that it "feels fresh and right for this installment of Zack Snyder's comic-book universe".[69] The first Batsuit featured in the film is influenced by the one seen in The Dark Knight Returns;[70] unlike the suits seen in previous live-action Batman films, it is made of cloth instead of armor.[71] An image of the Wonder Woman costume was revealed at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con, in which the costume desaturates the red, blue, and gold colors that make up the costume of most versions of the character.[72] A second Batsuit was also unveiled at Comic-Con, and unlike the first, it is armored.[73] Aquaman's look in this film, unlike most versions of the character which show him in a bright orange and green wetsuit, shows him "tattooed in Maori-like patterns", and wearing a suit "decked out in shades of gold, black and silver armor".[74] According to the Warner Bros. Studios lot, the next generation Batmobile combined inspiration from both the sleek, streamlined design of classic Batmobiles and the high-suspension, military build from the more recent Tumbler from the Dark Knight Trilogy. Designed by production designer Patrick Tatopoulos, the Batmobile is about 20 feet long and 12 feet wide.[75]

Filming

In September 2013, Larry Fong joined the crew as cinematographer after previously having worked with Zack Snyder in 300, Watchmen, and Sucker Punch.[76] Initial filming commenced on October 19, 2013, at East Los Angeles College to shoot an American football game between Gotham City University and rival Metropolis State University.[77] At the end of the month, construction began on the Kent farm seen in Man of Steel for the film.[78] The principal photography involving the main cast of the film began on May 19, 2014, in Detroit, Michigan,[79] with scenes featuring Gal Gadot as Diana Prince being filmed early on May 16.[80] Additional filming began in Chicago, Illinois in November 2014.[81] Other locations included the Michigan Motion Picture Studios, the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University, Yorkville, Illinois, and New Mexico.[82][83][84] Sequences of the film, including a scene depicting the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents, were filmed using IMAX cameras.[85] The planned shoot in Morocco were shifted to New Mexico due to incidents related to the 2014 Ebola outbreak.[86] Principal photography wrapped on December 5, 2014.[87]

Music

Main article: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (soundtrack)

Hans Zimmer returned from Man of Steel to compose the film score,[88] emphasizing a challenge to not reuse the themes he established with the Batman character from Christopher Nolan's trilogy.[89] Junkie XL, who provided additional music in Man of Steel, also returned for this film, helping to compose the theme for Batman.[90] Originally, Zimmer enlisted Junkie XL to compose the Batman material, with Zimmer planning to focus solely on the Superman side of the score, but the final Batman theme was written by both composers as a collaboration.[91] The soundtrack album for the score was released on March 18, 2016, via the Water Tower Music label.[92]

Release

In January 2014, Warner Bros. announced that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was delayed from its original July 17, 2015 release date, and moved to May 6, 2016, in order to give the filmmakers "time to realize fully their vision, given the complex visual nature of the story."[93] The release date was moved once again in August 2014 from May 6, 2016, to March 25, 2016, with a Warner Bros. insider saying the studio was "not flinching" regarding the film previously opening on the same day as Marvel Studios' Captain America: Civil War, but that March 2016 was a "fantastic corridor" for them.[94] According to sources obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. is considering the possibility of having a 70mm release for the film, which was partially shot in the 65mm IMAX format.[95]

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice premiered on March 19, 2016 at Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City,[96] followed by a New York premiere on March 20 at Radio City Music Hall.[97] Following the Brussels attacks, Warner Bros. canceled the red carpet of the London premiere.[98] The film will be released in the United States and the United Kingdom on March 25, 2016, in 3D.[99][94] It will open simultaneously in North America, China and Japan, the world's three largest film markets, as well as additional international territories[100] with the exception of Poland since theaters do not open on Good Friday.[2] The film will debut simultaneously across 30,000 screens in nearly every major foreign territory across 61 markets, including China, and domestic open across roughly 4,200 locations of which 3,500 theaters will be in 3D and 10 70 mm prints.[101][102]

Marketing

At the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International, Snyder introduced the film's first footage intended to be exclusive to the event.[103] A teaser trailer was scheduled to be screened in selected cinemas on April 20, 2015.[104] However, on April 16, the trailer leaked online,[105] and within a few hours Snyder officially released the trailer to Twitter.[106] At the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con International, Snyder and the cast attended to present an initial trailer of the film. The trailer was, unlike the teaser which received mixed response, positively received by attendees, who gave the trailer a standing ovation.[107] Mark Hughes of Forbes described the trailers as "both set the stage for a story about the world’s distrust and fear of Superman, Batman’s rage at Superman and intention to duke it out with the Man of Steel, and Wonder Woman’s participation in a big fight featuring the “Trinity”."[108]

Warner Bros. Consumer Products partnered with "a powerhouse slate of global licensees for a broad, multi-category licensing and merchandising program", including Mattel, Lego, Rubies, Funko, Thinkway Toys, Hot Toys, Junkfood, Bioworld, Pez, Seiko, Converse and among many other licensees to sell merchandise related to the film;[109][110] Jeep was also a licensee for the film.[111] Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – Cross Fire, an original companion novel tied to the film, tells a tie-in story set before the events of the movie was published by Scholastic Corporation.[112] A five-issue comic-book prelude exploring what happened in the weeks and months leading up to the events of the film was released as a tie-in with Dr Pepper's character-branded cans.[113] Additionally, those who purchase Batman v Superman-themed Doritos Family Fun Mix received the comic book prequel Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Upstairs/Downstairs.[114] Rocksteady Studios released a downloadable content for the video game Batman: Arkham Knight that featured the Batmobile and Batsuit from the film.[115]

The third trailer debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on December 3, 2015. It received positive responses,[116][117][118] with Scott Mendelson of Forbes calling the trailer a "Saturday morning cartoon nerd’s wildest dreams."[119] Molly Driscoll of CS Monitor stated that it looks like the film "will continue the trend of adapting comic book stories as timely tales."[120] Graeme McMillan of The Hollywood Reporter noted that based on the trailer's content, the film might be the anti-'Civil War', referring to Marvel's Captain America: Civil War as "Superman and Batman complete the comic book trope by overcoming their differences to fight a common foe, alongside a third hero, who saves them both — that feels the most fresh, especially in light of the Civil War trailer. While that ended with a showdown between three heroes, this trailer moves beyond that to show three heroes standing united."[121] However, some criticised it exactly for revealing that,[122] with Rob Tornoe of NewsWorks pointing out that this trailer was targeting the "broadest audience" rather than just fans as studios try to "maximize a film's opening day box office."[123]

An advertisement for the film on Turkish Airlines' Boeing 777 300-ER at Ataturk Airport

Warner Bros. did not buy a Super Bowl 50 commercial;[124] instead, they worked with Turkish Airlines to put together a pair of Batman v Superman-themed airline commercials.[125] McMillan of The Hollywood Reporter stated that the spots "inform interested parties about the culture, geography and history of Batman and Superman's individual stomping grounds, each one filled with Easter eggs for the comic book faithful and newcomer alike."[126] Jesse Eisenberg's part as Lex Luthor in these commercials was praised as Dirk Libbey of CinemaBlend noted that "he matches up well with Bruce Wayne by playing the welcoming billionaire business man. It's a far cry from the somewhat cartoonish villain we’ve seen in the clips from the film."[125]

The final trailer was released on February 11, 2016, which was described as "intense" by Kwame Opam of The Verge.[127] Mendelson of Forbes felt that Warner Bros. "probably wouldn’t have even dropped this one had the prior trailer back in December been received better. So now we have this fourth and final sell, and at least they are going out on a high note."[128] Jonathon Dornbush of Entertainment Weekly said that the footage "works to establish Batman as his own independent crime fighting force, while also providing a deeper look at his existential struggle against Superman."[129]

In February 2016, Warner Bros. and Doritos formed a partnership, creating a website offering fans the opportunity to enter codes found on Doritos purchases branded with the film's logo and enter to win movie tickets, tech toys, and a trip the premiere in New York.[130][131] Warner Bros also partnered with Omaze to give fans who donated a chance to win "The Ultimate Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Experience" while benefiting three nonprofit organizations nominated by Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Jesse Eisenberg. "The Ultimate Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Experience" offered a fan and their friend the chance to win tickets to the premiere of the film as well as fly on a helicopter with Cavill or ride in the Batmobile with Affleck.[132] Hendrick Motorsports drivers Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. drove cars based off Superman and Batman respectively at Auto Club Speedway on March 20, 2016.[133]

Home media

An Ultimate Edition of the film featuring extended content will be released on home media. The version received an R-rating from the Motion Picture Association of America, for more violence than the PG-13 rated theatrical cut,[36][134] and will be 30 minutes longer than the theatrical version.[135]

Reception

Box office

Theaterical run

The film opened on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 in several countries including France, Italy and Spain, where it grossed $7 million on its opening day.[136]

Commercial analysis

With a production budget of $250 million and a marketing budget of over $150 million, Variety estimates that the film needs to earn $800 million to recoup its investment. One media analyst, quoted by the magazine, said that given the costs and need to launch a series of future films, "anything under $1 billion in worldwide box office will be a disappointment."[137] In the weeks leading up to the film's release, advance ticket sales outpaced The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers and Furious 7, leading experts to believe Dawn of Justice will gross over $1 billion by the end of its theatrical run.[138] Worldwide, it is estimated to gross between $300–340 million in over 35,000 screens in its opening weekend.[101][139]

Following the start of pre-tickets sales in the United States and Canada on February 29, insiders and analysts are suggesting an opening weekend of around $120–140 million for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to as high as $160 million.[101][139][140][141][142] However, Warner Bros. insiders are being more conservative suggesting a possible opening of around $110 million on the lower end.[2] According to Deadline.com, an undisclosed rival studio box office analyst indicated that if the film is truly pacing in tandem with The Dark Knight Rises, then Dawn of Justice could possibly be looking at a $180 million+ debut.[139] The film also became Fandango's top pre-selling superhero film ever, beating The Dark Knight Rises and Avengers: Age of Ultron, representing 90% of the site's weekend's ticket sales. A survey carried out showed that the introduction of Wonder Woman is a primary draw for moviegoers.[141][143] It will receive one of the widest releases possible[2] across 4,000+ theaters.[139] It pre-sold around $20–25 million advance tickets.[141] Internationally, it is projected to make between $180–200 million with $50 million of that expected to come from China alone. However, Deadline.com pointed out that these figures are only early predictions that are pegged to the performance of similar films in their respective territories.[139]

Critical response

Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gave Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice an approval rating of 30%, based on 174 reviews, with an average rating was 5.1/10. According to the site's critical consensus, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice smothers a potentially powerful story – and some of America's most iconic superheroes – in a grim whirlwind of effects-driven action."[144] Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews from mainstream critics, gave the film an average score of 44 out of 100, based on 50 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[145]

Newsweek and the Irish Examiner reported that the film received mixed reviews from critics.[146] Variety called the reviews "lukewarm,"[147] while The Wall Street Journal said they were "mostly negative" and the Business Insider said reviews were "bad."[148]

A. O. Scott of The New York Times wrote "But the point of “Batman v Superman” isn’t fun, and it isn’t thinking, either. It’s obedience. The theology is invoked not to elicit meditations on mercy, justice or sacrifice, but to buttress a spectacle of power. And in that way the film serves as a metaphor for its own aspirations. The corporations that produce movies like this one, and the ambitious hacks who sign up to make them, have no evident motive beyond their own aggrandizement.[149]

Cynthia Fuchs of PopMatters said "As you’re watching this movie, you might also contemplate your own part, in being swayed into consuming so much of what you’ve consumed before." Adding, "Wonder Woman’s remains Batman v Superman‘s most compelling story, precisely because it’s untold."[150]

Matt Patches of Thrillist wrote "What Batman v Superman can do, it does, at the cost of coherency and thrills. The movie is bat-shit crazy. A dour, disdainful demeanor, plus a gluttony of complex plot twists, dissipates most of the contact high.[151]
