Warner Bros.' flag-planting franchise starter "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" was either the most anticipated movie of the year or one of the most dreaded. The idea of seeing DC Comics' "trinity" of characters — Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman — on the screen together is certainly a thing pop-culture dreams are made of.

The best superhero films of 2016: how Marvel proves bigger isn't better | Film. It might be slightly redundant to say that superhero movies have entered their baroque phase. After all, unbridled spectacle, melodrama, and ornate design elements are inherent to the genre. Still, the 2016 slate of comic book epics felt even more exaggerated than usual. There are more of these movies than ever, with budget-bulging cataclysmic finales all gunning to top each other.
The superhero films (and spin-off TV series) that succeeded most emphatically are the ones that went just a notch smaller, to satisfying effect. This spring’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, a film reviled by critics, opens with the destruction of most of downtown Metropolis within the first 10 minutes.
