20 Films That Will Define 2016

7. Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn Of Justice

Release Date: 25th March (US / UK) Director: Zack Snyder Starring: Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Jesse Eisenberg, Gal Gadot DC Comics are hitting back at Marvel's cinematic supremacy with brute force. They have spent the last few years dominating the small screen market, but now it's time to overthrow the grandest of stages. Man Of Steel maestro Snyder has Clark Kent again, but this time he's getting Bruce Wayne, Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor involved in the action too, with the aim to both decimate the box-office, and build the foundations for the Justice League. Featuring an ensemble cast including Cavill and Affleck as the clashing titans, plus Eisenberg and Gadot as Luthor and Diana Price, Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice will also star Ezra Miller's The Flash, Jason Momoa's Aquaman, Amy Adams' Lois Lane and Jeremy Irons' Alfred. With Snyder seated, audiences wouldn't be ill to expect groundbreaking visual effects throughout, but from the trailer and previously released promotional materials, it seems as though he is opting for a moodier tone reminiscent of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy.
