Justice just dawn on the world on March 25. The Dark Knight takes on the Man of Steel. This could be the greatest movie of our generation. Wrong.

News circulated that Batman would be featured in the next Superman Movie and I could not wait. The anticipation ran through my blood since Warner Bros announced the sequel to Man of Steel. Now, I thought this movie would break the streak of terrible, atrocious Superman movies until I saw the movie that should prevent Zack Snyder from never earning another writing or director in Hollywood. …show more content…

During my childhood, I never dreamed that Superman and Batman fighting over this dumb of reason. Lex Luthor eventually forces Superman to fight Batman in order to save his mom. This part begins to make the movie better, but it does not save it. During the fight with Batman and Superman, Batman gains the upper hand with Kryptonite and has the chance to kill Superman.

    Bane sets a bomb off and Batman is able to attach it to his plane and fly it out to sea where it implodes with Batman carrying it over the city to save the lives of many people in Gotham. With the city’s hero dying it has a new hero that you are introduced to late in the trilogy and that is John Blake who is a police officer that helps The Dark Knight get the people to safety.
