Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: The Justice PH Non-Spoiler Review & Premiere Screening recap!


"The Greatest Gladiator Match In the History Of The World" has FINALLY hit theaters, as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is now open in the Philippines! The Justice PH team has seen it courtesy of an advance premiere screening by Warner Bros. PH, and we would like to say that it was TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT! If you're a DC Comics fan and have been looking forward to next chapter of the DC Extended Universe, this movie does not disappoint... But it certainly is a LOT DARKER than any other comic book movie out there, and that's just fine considering that's the tone the universe has set out for!


Directed by Zack Snyder and taking place about two years after the events of 2013's Man of Steel, Batman v Superman sees Clark Kent/ Kal-El coming to terms with his new role as "Superman" while struggling to be accepted as a hero in the eyes of mankind. After the destruction caused in the wake of his battle with General Zod in Metropolis, a lot of people view Supes as a dangerous threat that left unchecked would cause more harm than good in this world. Sharing this opinion is Bruce Wayne, who is secretly the dark vigilante of Gotham City known as The Batman. Taking matters into his own hands to put a stop to the "Alien" once and for all, The Dark Knight decides to go up against the Man of Steel, while a new and dangerous adversary manipulates the situation from behind the scenes.


After seeing the film last March 22nd at the SM Mall of Asia IMAX theater thanks to WB Phils, members of Justice PH and fellow cosplay community friends suited up as the DC Films incarnations of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman to celebrate the arrival of the "Dawn of Justice"! The film is without a doubt one of those movies that was "A long time coming", and Superman and Batman trade blows and brawl it out in EPIC fashion that during the big moments.



Seeing the DC Trinity on the big screen for the first time is definite the highlight, with plenty of action time coming for each of the characters appearing in this film/ In fact, Ben Affleck's Batman just DELIVERS. It is the Batman from the comics we've all wanted to see, and takes a lot of inspiration from Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns". Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman is just GORGEOUS, and you see that the casting was just pat down great with selecting her as the veteran Amazon warrior princess of Themyscira. Henry Cavill's Superman continues to be the conflicted immigrant who tries fit in on his adopted world, but has steadily become more familiar with his place as a hero. These three, along with a great cast that includes Amy Adams back as Lois Lane, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, and Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, just make the film so entertaining in every single way.



Without giving much of the surprise away, it takes a lot of cues from classic DC Comics stories, and pays a lot of tributes and homages to those storylines that only those with a keen eye for detail will notice. The film may have mixed reviews now... But if you truly are a fan and want to see the seeds of the "Justice League" film put together, you HAVE to see this movie... And better in a large format like IMAX where you can appreciate the detail and sound the film delivers with all the action and story sequences!

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is now open in theaters!

"Are you as Fully Alive as your heroes?"

Gathering together a number of people is no easy feat, but featuring some energizing drinks and a game that gives you a chance to win exclusive BvS prizes is just too good to resist! Setting up show near the entrance of SM Manila, the B'lue Water Plus team set up an amazing booth with displays promoting the exclusive Batman v Superman design bottles and the movie itself! In the center of it all lay the Super Tap Vendo Challenge machine, which anyone could join an try their luck with just by purchasing a B'lue Water Plus bottle!

Batman v Superman: Meet the Amazon Warrior Princess herself... Wonder Woman!


Even though "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" focuses on the inevitable clash between the "Son of Krypton" and "Bat of Gotham", the DC Films epic will go on and introduce another key player in the DC Extended Universe that will help unite the forces of good and put them on the road to forming a team consisting of the world's greatest heroes!


That character of course is none other than Diana of Themyscira... Better known to the outside world as the Amazon Warrior Princess called "Wonder Woman"! To be introduced first in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", the character will be played by Fast and Furious films star and model Gal Gadot, who was cast in the coveted superheroine role on December 2013. Gadot's Wonder Woman is described as being a "5,000 year old Amazon" who is a demigoddess and the daughter of Zeus, who has lived in the world of man and has somewhat retired from superheroics... Until circumstances and the forces of evil sound the call for her presence to be needed again.


Despite her superhero identity being prominent in the film, Gadot's Diana Prince will also be interacting with Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne in the film during a formal party scene. How the alter ego of Batman will flirt with the Amazon Princess is anyone's guess, but she does say in the final trailer of BvS that she isn't "just any other woman" Mr. Wayne has met in the past.

In the second theatrical trailer for BvS, Wonder Woman makes her entrance in style just as Batman and Superman face a new danger in the midst of their own epic clash.

Batman V Superman - Trailer (Wonder Woman vs Doomsday)

Much like Batman and Superman themselves, Wonder Woman is also featured in B'lue Water Plus' exclusive Batman v Superman design bottles in Enlivening Orange flavor! Be sure to pick these up at your nearest convenience store and market place!

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens in theaters on March 26!
