Media Montage Podcast 130 - Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

Blockbuster season seems to arrive earlier and earlier every year. This year blockbuster season kicks off with an epic match up as two titans of pop culture meet on the big screen for the first time. 

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice pits the Caped Crusader against the Big Blue Boy Scout.  The Man of Steel takes on the Dark Knight, but why? What forces pit these two heroes against one another. And more importantly, is it any good? 

Dawn of Justice stars Henry Cavil as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Jesse Eisenburg as Lex Luthor.

Bruce and Larry go in-depth on this highly anticipated film. What was great about the movie? What did they hate?  Who is the real hero? What about Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash? Does this movie establish a DC Movie Universe to rival that of Marvel?  Find out the answers to those questions and more in Episode 130 of the Media Montage Podcast!

Here is our Man of Steel Episode!
