Deanna Williams Class Reporter Movie Review Batman V Superman: Dawn of justice Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is a 2016 American superhero movie about the DC Comic character Batman and Superman. It is the first live action movie produced with Batman and Superman together. The movie also has Aquaman, Wonder Women, The Flash, and Cyborg in it. During the movie Lex Luther gets Superman and Batman to battle it out. My personal opinion about the movie is that it was executed well, but could have been more true to the comic book. Much of the movie didn t make sense if you are a person who knows the comics. But the movie itself was great. It was filled with action and suspense. I recommend this movie.
