Here’s a recap of the Henry Cavill starrer

In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the world was still reeling from Superman’s (Henry Cavill) arrival and the destruction he caused in Man of Steel. Batman (Ben Affleck) saw Superman as a threat to humanity and decided to take him down. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) was manipulating events behind the scenes to pit the two heroes against each other.

The movie was a dark and brooding take on the DC Comics characters, with director Zack Snyder’s signature visual style. The performances were strong, particularly Affleck’s portrayal of a jaded and weary Batman. However, the film was weighed down by a convoluted plot and too many characters, including Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and Aquaman (Jason Momoa), who were introduced in brief cameos.
