Delayed by a whole year, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice will hit selected theaters this Thursday evening, and then released for all of North America the next day, March 25.
Starring future Batman movie director and new Batman star Ben Affleck, who will be the oldest actor to have played Batman in live action, it will co-star Henry Cavill (Superman from the well-received "Man of Steel"), Jeremy Irons as Alfred, and new actress Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, the movie is said to focus on Batman's struggle as a rogue agent of sorts, still meandering with his moral compass.

Meanwhile, Superman of course takes the stock, proverbial good-guy character, and the movie's script lets him face off Batman's eternal sense of cynicism, doubt, paranoia, and the pressures of a crime-ridden Gotham City.
I think that if it is anything like the popular "Justice League" comics series or even the cartoon from Cartoon Network that started in 2001, it could be a big hit.
However, my question for the series is: what new content and storyline will this new movie bring to the existing Batman universe?
The Christopher Nolan films were done very well, and one of them in particular was basically the perfect, psychological crime drama AND comic book movie.
So, this will have some huge shoes to fill.
