It’s hard to keep a good (super) man down. Ben Affleck certainly had some difficulty defeating the Man of Steel in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the only thing that could actually kill Kal-El was Lex Luthor’s Doomsday, the monster he created using Zod’s corpse. But is Superman really dead? It certainly doesn’t look like he is, because Henry Cavill is currently working on his superhero physique in preparation for the Justice League movies!
Cavill recently posted a photo on his official Instagram account revealing that he has just completed one week of “training” to prepare for his role in Justice League. The actor shared that his regimen included “7 days, 9 workouts and a whole lot of food!” In addition to that, Cavill included the
The film begins with Bruce Wayne, Batman, recalling his parent’s murder. We are introduced to an older dark Batman who brands and kills criminals. Throughout the film, we are reminded of the destruction that superman has caused in Metropolis when he indirectly destroyed the city. Lex Luthor takes advantage of the situation by manipulating Batman to hate Superman (Clark Kent), and capturing Superman's mother forcing the heroes to fight each other. Furthermore, the character Bruce Wayne, in Batman v Superman (BVS), illustrates a clear example of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because of evidence of flashbacks, impulsive behavior and his inability to sleep.
Isn’t it odd that almost all male protagonists in books and films have major daddy issues or masculine personalities? Or that the male always loses a friend or family member just before going on a quest, for revenge, or to bring back a captured friend? This is the start of what is called the hero’s journey, the rest goes accordingly: meets mentors, enters katabasis, object is found, returns home. This cycle portrays the whole plotline of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. This film follows second to Man of Steel. It’s summery brings Batman, Bruce Wayne, to reconcile with the dilemmas from Superman in Man of Steel. Who like Lex Luther, ultimately wants Superman, Clark Kent, rid of earth. Before, in Man of Steel Clark defeats General Zod,

Plays Superman in Superman with Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, and Margot Kidder. He gains 30 pounds for the role.

Summarize the 4 main points from the documentary that were most surprising or interesting to you
When people think of heroes, the first thing that comes to mind is someone like Superman, with incredible powers and a heroic mindset. A more unlikely hero would be someone like Harry Potter, a little boy who is thrown into a world of magic without knowing his way around and finding out that he is famous for something he can’t even remember. Some heroes don’t even have superpowers, like the man from ‘The Man in the Water’, a hero who traded his life for five others. But one thing that they all have in common is that they create change.
The Bruce Wayne we meet at the beginning of Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises” is very different to the man we see at the films end. In the beginning we see Bruce Wayne as a crippled, weak, recluse who is broken emotionally as well as physically. He has isolated himself from the rest of society & has lost his motivation & will to live. Crime has virtually disappeared under the Harvey Dent Act & Batman is no longer needed in Gotham. By the conclusion of the film we see that Bruce Wayne has found the motivation & the will to live again. He has re-found his fear of death whilst imprisoned in the pit & has escaped to return to Gotham to fight Bane & retake the city from his clutches. We now see him as a man fighting for the survival of
Batman v Superman starts off with the story that we know so well. The murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne and young Bruce's inspiration to become the super hero Batman. Cut a few years later we have a grown Bruce Waynes played by Ben Affleck (Gone Girl, Daredevil, Dogma) in the midst of a great city disaster while visiting the city of Metropolis. Superman fights an alien force in a battle that tears down cities and kills many innocent
Captain America is a better superhero than Iron Man. Captain America is superior because he is a better person. He is more kind, honorable, chivalrous, hard working, and friendly than Iron Man. Before Captain America gained his height, strength, and other super-human abilities, he was just a scrawny kid. One of his greatest qualities was standing up for what he believed was right. Once, in a movie theatre, a man was booing a commercial for the army, Rodgers(Captain America) stood up and demanded the man show respect for those who serve, he ended up fighting the man, even though Rodgers had no chance of winning. Rodgers tried multiple times to enlist in the army because he felt that it was his duty to serve and protect his country. When he was
The world already knows that Jesse Eisenberg will be bringing to life a new incarnation of Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, it is still unclear how the DC supervillain will manage to get Ben Affleck’s Dark Knight and Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel to actually hate each other in the film. Now new details about Lex have been revealed, and it looks like he has a horrifying plan to get the fight started!
Superman also is weak to radiation given off by a red sun. This radiation has often been artificially created to weaken Superman by his arch enemy Lex Luthor.

The first reason is that he has an evil girlfriend named Harley Quinn, and she is as evil as he is. She helps him defeat Batman when they battle. He cheated on her one time and she almost killed him. So he did not have to worry about Batman for a while.
In the 2013 film Man of Steel, Henry Cavill, an up and coming British actor, portrayed Kal-El. Mr. Cavill brought a cool and quiet, yet at times very detached and alien performance that did not elicit a similar sentiment from me as did Mr. Reeve’s portrayal. This was due in part to the story being retooled in favor of a bold retelling of his origins. The story now focused on him being an alien from a distant planet whose attempts to integrate into society are further complicated because he feels humanity is not ready to accept him for who he is and what that represents. The change to the storytelling dynamic also afforded a closer look at the main protagonist’s relationship with both his birth father, Jor-El and his adoptive father on Earth, Jonathan Kent. Also, in comparison to Superman The Movie, the opening sequences of Man of Steel provided a more intimate portrait of the last days of Krypton, his home planet. This of course served to better flesh out more of the backstory for Kal-El and provided new insight into what had become a relatively one dimensional character in the comic books over the years. The apparent aim was to create a connection with this larger than life character that we as the audience would come to understand in ways that went simply beyond knowing the persona of Superman.
