“Twenty years in Gotham. How many good guys are left? How many stayed that way? He has the power to wipe out the entire human race. I have to destroy him.”
After Superman’s Herculean battle with Zod, which devastated the city of Metropolis, many were left feeling angry and hopeless. Superman, the Earth’s most controversial figure, is then perceived to be more of a threat than a symbol of hope. Batman sets out on a personal vendetta to end Superman’s reign on Earth, while villainous madman Lex Luthor launches his own crusade against the Man of Steel.
As if the trailer wasn’t enough to whet our appetites, here are 10 more reasons why you should catch Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice!

2. A new Batman movie coming soon!
Another stand-alone Batman movie is reportedly in the works and it will be connected with “Batman v Superman” instead of Nolan’s Batman.
1. Doomsday
According to Trailer 2 of “Batman v Superman”, which was panned by critics and fans for revealing too much, it looks like Doomsday is going to be in the movie as well. Doomsday was the first DC villain to kill Superman (The Death of Superman storyline) by beating him to death.

“That’s how it starts. The fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men… cruel.” We have a feeling this will be a superhero movie of epic proportions.
