Can Batman kick Superman’s ass? Or is it the other way around?

I’m torn on the subject. I personally prefer Batman, but you can’t count out Superman in a fight. Heh, I should probably go watch the movie.

In order to settle an old debate that had fanboys talking and arguing for decades, director Zack Snyder embarked on a new filming project.

As you might know, the much-anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice motion picture hit theaters internationally yesterday and it is an understatement to say that the wait had been hard for fans.

Superhero movies are the flavor of the moment, but this one is special. In fact, both Batman and Superman are cultural icons, long-time fan favorites and the perspective of a fight between the two has always been a hot topic among fans. The movie is supposed to settle the debate over who is stronger, but it’s much more than that.

As you can expect from a super-hero movie, there is a ton of (insane) action scenes in it. Now, I’m all for exploding helicopters and crushed skyscrapers in action movies, but there is something unique, refreshing, and old school about a good ole fisticuffs scene, don’t you think?

Top movie star Ben Affleck plays the role of Batman, following in the footsteps of great actors such as Val Kilmer or Christian Bale. That is not an easy task; you can be sure fans will be scrutinizing his performance closely. Ben Affleck has one particularity though; he has made sure to bring a little bit more of excitement and spice to the fighting scenes.
