Titans clash

Will rivals save the day or destroy everything?

It is a well known phrase
By Camille Vitale that opposites attract. It is
no surprise that the biggest
super-hero movie coming out this year has icons
Batman and Superman duking it out. With a plot
so epic, will DCs Batman vs. Superman: Dawn
of Justice exceed exceptions?
Warner Brothers first announced the movie in
June 2013, saying that director Zack Snyder and
screenwriter David S. Goyer would return for a
Man of Steel sequel. It was unknown that Batman would be in the film
until Snyder confirmed
him at San Diego Comic-Con International.
Later, the studio hired
Chris Terrio to rewrite
the script, due to Goyers
commitments to other projects and Snyder
changing his mind on the
film being based on the
comic The Dark Knight
Returns.

film the start of the DC
movie universe to compete with popularity of
long-term rival Marvels
movie universe.

Woman, played by Gal Gadot, would make her
first appearances to film in the movie.
I love that Wonder Woman is finally appearing in a movie, she deserves it, senior Alexis Van

It was also clarified that Supermans fiscal
nemesis Doomsday would be the movies climax.
