Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice Jun 2026

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is a 2016 American superhero film directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film is based on the DC Comics characters Batman and Superman, and it is the second installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The movie brings together two of the most iconic superheroes in the world, pitting them against each other in a battle for the ages.

If he is all-good, then he cannot be all-powerful," he argues.
