Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was met with mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. While some praised its ambition, visual style, and action sequences, many criticized its convoluted plot, pacing issues, and underdeveloped characters. The film garnered significant attention for its darker tone and the introduction of new DC cinematic universe characters, but its divisive reception impacted its box office performance and subsequent franchise direction.

• Visually striking with ambitious action sequences, but hampered by a messy and overly serious narrative.

• The clash between Batman and Superman is the film's centerpiece, but the story struggles to justify their conflict.

• While introducing new characters and setting up future films, the plot feels rushed and lacks emotional depth.

Google audience: Google users were divided, with many appreciating the epic scale and the performances of the lead actors, particularly Ben Affleck's Batman. However, a significant portion of viewers found the film's tone too dark and grim, and the storyline convoluted and disappointing compared to expectations.

Nominated for 5 Golden Raspberry Awards including Worst Picture and Worst Director.

The design of Batman's armor in the film was inspired by the Frank Miller comic 'The Dark Knight Returns'.
