20 Most Epic Movie Moments Of 2016

Yes, there are a ton of reasons to be mad about Batman v Superman, most of all that it doesn't feature much at all of the titular characters duking it out and the motives are terrible, but the brief 7-minute battle is an undeniably goosebump-raising work of sheer wish fulfillment.

Batman (Ben Affleck) gets to stand his ground against Superman (Henry Cavill) thanks to Kryptonite weaponry and an armoured Batsuit, though Supes holds his own well enough in this brutal slug-fest.

It's too short and that "Martha!" ending rightly leaves many fans sour, but the stunning style and sheer amazement that this ever made it to the screen is enough to earn it a place on this list.
