The thunderous and dark “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” ( “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”) Zac Snyder presents a confrontation that is usually reserved for predators, Godzillas and presidential candidates .

and as has often happened in this election year, “Batman vs. Superman” delves into this tradition and falls into a sewer. Gone are telephone booths, cornfields and other symbols of innocence. Given the current climate may Snyder knew skillfully discern the time of violent clashes which we live.
“Batman vs. Superman”, so heavy and dour as a court document, is a kind of cargo truck lumbers through a world disgrace. Does not have the kinetic force of “Mad Max: Fury Road” or the vivacity of a film of Marvel, but an operatic drama that sometimes works and sometimes not.
This is a “lost paradise” for superheroes. Changes and shattered two of the most classic comic books heroes, generating them less altruistic emotions to the point that their smiles become grimaces of rage.
After an impressionistic mounting on the iconic childhood Batman, the film starts as he finished tape Snyder on Superman “Man of Steel” ( “Man of Steel”), but from a different perspective. Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) leads amid a shower of debris from the Metropolis as Superman (Henry Cavill) blithely faces his alien enemies.
Snyder puts on Wayne criticism for the high death toll, and he sees bitterly Superman from the dusty ground in a cheap evocation of September 11 designed to add solemnity where there there is.
Months later, the two are still watching suspiciously. Snyder worked with a screenplay by Chris Terrio ( “Argo”) and David Goyer ( “Man of Steel”) to get into their opposite natures: an alien with divine powers who prefers primary colors and human well equipped tending towards dark color palette.
At a party organized by Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg, who was not a good choice for the role), billionaire inventor who plans to use a secret kryptonite as a weapon, his álter egos seem passive-aggressive. Kent, reporter, asks Wayne on “the problem of vigilante bat” while Wayne, who mentions the overly positive coverage of Superman at the Daily Planet, says he does not like “the phenomena dress like clowns.”
Both face a new environment superhero well expressed by nothing more and nothing less than the astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson, who in a scene depicted on television superheroes like people altering human supremacy in the universe, as did the discoveries of Copernicus.
“are criminal Alfred” he tells Batman, who comes from torturing an enemy, his butler (Jeremy Irons, who adds an icy glint to his character). “We have always been criminals.”
Luthor’s plot gradually puts the heroes in the same orbit with Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot). But it is the genuine rigor Snyder’s commitment to the psychology of Superman and Batman what keeps the well established film and makes their rivalry is credible. See both deform to become villains could be a trick, like when Jerry and Kramer on “Seinfeld” changed apartments, but “Batman vs. Superman” addresses seriously the rare place of these omnipotent beings in a world that now feels grudge his power.
Somehow is ideal for Snyder, a very unsubtle filmmaker, with the necessary sensitivity to film a car crash. As director of “300″ knows how to move in the middle of a run and, unlike Marvel films, adaptations of DC Comics have been the work of different directors for good (the trilogy of Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight “) and bad (” Man of Steel “).
The domain Snyder is menir when it comes to, well, normal life. “Batman vs. Superman” would be better spent his long life in the last throes of myth rather than a place like the offices of the Daily Planet, where the eminently lively Lois Lane (Amy Adams) goes in and out as you want.
As for the much disputed election Affleck, Keaton and Bale have little to worry about. But Affleck is a worthy heir to the paper, though his chin betray him when not wearing superhero costume. Not much room for individual performance here; when armed, the burly Batman itself Affleck looks like a tank.
There’s something fun to imagine who would be the winner in a competition of superheroes. Is Superman faster than Flash? Who leaves more tip, Aquaman and Wonder Woman? Do you think all rare Silver Surfer?
The essence of these debates is their stupidity, which ignores the solemn “Batman vs. Superman”. Snyder has a difficult task because it unites the world of realistic crime of Batman with the most fantastic plane Superman, and includes the required cameos (like Jason Momoa in the role of Aquaman and Ezra Miller in Flash) to prepare the ground future films.
But why fight? The most important battle was already decided: Batman, our old favorite, he is headed by the marquees.
“Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” is a premiere of Warner Bros. in the United States has rated PG-13 for “intense sequences of violence and action as well as some scenes of sensuality. ” We give two and a half by four.
