Will DC be able to once again top the charts in the movie industry in 2016?\u00a0 Unlike its counterpart in the comic book industry, DC has been on a roller coaster ride when it comes to its big budget films.\u00a0 Whether it was due to fans high expectations or poor storylines, movies based on DC heroes have not hit it big with the general public.<\/p>\n

Batman versus Superman: Dawn of Justice is the follow-up to the June 2013 Man of Steel movie.\u00a0 (The movie \u201cMan of Steel\u201d is a reiteration of Superman\u2019s origins starred actor Henry Cavill-as Superman) And although the new superman movie grossed over $668 million worldwide and was hailed as a financial success, critics and movie viewers gave it mixed reviews. Can we expect this to be the upcoming trend of things to come? \"\"So what is the movie all about?\u00a0 Well it\u2019s no secret that DC is attempting to reboot their franchise and start a new fan base for their extended universe\u2026.as the title implies Batman (The Dark Knight) will face-off in a confrontation with Superman (The Man of Steel).\u00a0 Bruce Wayne (Batman), living in a world questioning the role of super powered beings, fears the power at Superman\u2019s disposal.\u00a0 Believing someone had to do something, Batman clashes with Superman.\u00a0 Batman\u2019s statement from the released trailer \u201cCan you bleed? You will\u2026.\u201d promises an epic battle between DC\u2019s two most famous superheroes.<\/p>\n

From what we can gather, the movie also features Lex Luthor (businessman, supervillain).\u00a0 Who has a plan of his own and creates Doomsday – a super-powered being destroying metropolis. (Note: Doomsday is supervillain in the DC universe that killed Superman)\u00a0 Superman and Batman put aside their conflict and team-up with Wonder woman to save the day.\"\"This film is directed by Zack Snyder (Man of Steel Director) starring Henry Cavill (returning to his role as Superman\/Clark Kent), Ben Affleck as Batman\/Bruce Wayne and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman\/Diana Prince.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that Batman versus Superman movie release was changed.\u00a0 In January 2014, Warner Bros. Pictures issued a statement announcing the release date of the Superman vs. Batman movie had been moved from July 17, 2015 to May 6, 2016.\u00a0 Here is the official press release:<\/p>\n

BURBANK, CA \u2013 January 17, 2014 \u2013 Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that\u00a0the release of Zack Snyder\u2019s untitled Superman\/Batman film has been moved to May 6, 2016,\u00a0allowing the filmmakers time to realize fully their vision, given the complex visual nature of the\u00a0story. The decision was made following the shift of the start of production to second quarter\u00a0of this year. The Studio has also set a July 17, 2015, worldwide release date for its as-yet-untitled all-new Peter Pan adventure. Joe Wright will direct the epic live-action film about the\u00a0boy who would nevewouldr grow up, created by J.M. Barrie. The dual date announcement was made\u00a0by Dan Fellman, President, Domestic Distribution, and Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, President,\u00a0International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.<\/em><\/p>\n

In simple terms, the start of production was delayed and the moving of the release date was to give the filmmakers time to complete the film.\u00a0 What does this mean for upcoming viewers?\u00a0 I guess we will have to watch the movie to find out. \"\"**Special Update:\u00a0 Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice now to be released March 25, 2016.<\/strong><\/p>\n
