Its tone rarely lets loose to have a little fun - as Nicholson’s Joker said, “This town needs an enema!” - while the story can never decide which of its brooding characters are its heroes and villains, pondering God vs. Still, all the clever lines and unique comic-book connections can’t overcome the film’s relentlessly depressing mood and inherent identity crisis. We we won’t say what, so as to avoid spoilers, but the revelation helps to provide a pivotal turning point in the characters’ relationship. Terrio and Goyer also deserve kudos for finding an often overlooked, yet vital family coincidence between the Superman and Batman comics. “Next time you see that Bat Signal, don’t go into the light,” Superman says, to which Batman replies, “Do you bleed? You will.” Both lines pay off later on. Goyer, co-writer of “The Dark Knight Trilogy” (2005-2012), this blockbuster script finds glimmers of killer dialogue between two trash-talking heroes. But a new evil mastermind is on the rise, Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), hoping to stoke the flames of resentment between Batman and Superman.Ĭo-written by Chris Terrio, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of “Argo” (2012), and David S.

Now, the two franchises collide in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” pitting two of the world’s most iconic superheroes in a dream death-match. The other saw a failed remake with “Superman Returns” (2006) that required an immediate reboot in “Man of Steel” (2013), which inserted way too many opening set-up scenes, ignored the Lois & Clark romance so much that the final kiss felt unearned, and built to an overlong action climax that left many wondering whether Zack Snyder (“300,” “Watchmen”) was the right director for the job. Inarritu to swoop in with Keaton for a superhero satire that bookended the era with a Best Picture “Birdman” (2014).
