Batman v Superman: The Messy Birth of the DCEU

It’s been 10 years since Batman v Superman hit theaters, marking the first time DC’s biggest heroes shared the big screen.

A Decade of Ups and Downs

The movie’s a mixed bag – it’s got some great action sequences, but the plot’s a jumbled mess. Don’t expect it to make a whole lot of sense, because it won’t.
The film’s biggest flaw is its complete misunderstanding of Superman’s character. It’s a shame, because we know Henry Cavill can do better.
Batman v Superman’s legacy is complicated – it spawned the DCEU, but it’s also responsible for some of the worst superhero movies in recent memory.
Still, you can’t deny its impact. It’s a mess, but it’s our mess, and it’s still worth watching if you’re a fan of the characters.
