It’s what superheroes do: they have a misunderstanding, fight, then team up to face a larger threat. The two heroes fighting is a common trope from superhero comics. Where Batman Vs Superman falls apart as a movie is that not enough is done to build up Superman into an interesting character that audiences care for and will support in a fight against the very human Batman. China was the largest international market for Man of Steel, with a $64 million take. In the important, but still emerging China market, the film is expected to draw $50M-$70M on opening weekend. Deadline yesterday reported that Warners is eyeing a $350 million worldwide take over the opening weekend. The film is financially critic-proof with analysts expecting strong takings globally from the film launching over the Easter long weekend. Unlike the rival Marvel superhero movies, which established their movie universe through a set of films that built around individual heroes, the Warner Bros DC films are using this second film to serve as an entry point to its roster of superheroes who will team up in the upcoming 2017 film Justice League. Thus, a rethink on the sequel took place, with the producers adding Batman to the mix. While the film performed well at the box office, it didn’t break records and faced a severe backlash from fans who felt the Superman character hadn’t been handled well. It serves as a quasi-sequel to 2013’s Man of Steel – Zack Snyder’s Superman film produced to kick-start Warner Bros ambitions for a franchise of films based on its DC Comics superhero properties. The film has a Superman problem, which is a shame, because the rest of the film around it is mostly rather neat. Unfortunately, throughout the new DC superhero slugfest film Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, they never explain why Superman is flying or where he might be flying to.
