4 Reasons Batman vs Superman Won't Be As Good As Man Of Steel (And 4 It Will Be)

2. Because The Competition Means It Has To Be

In a nutshell, DC and Warner Brothers simply can't afford this film to be anything other than a huge success, because they have to pull out all the stops to keep up with the competition being provided by Marvel's movie offerings. The Disney-produced Marvel cinematic universe, the Fox-produced X-Men movies and the Sony-produced Amazing Spider-Man series are threatening to blow the opposition out of the water and a poor showing in this Batman vs Superman outing would set DC and Warner Brothers back several years in the race for cinematic superiority. This movie needs to explore new territory, break new ground and generally be nothing short of incredible, otherwise DC and Warner Brothers may as well give up trying to compete with Marvel as far as movies are concerned.
