"They're the bad guys... It's what they do". 

On the night of August 2nd, 2016 - the members of Justice PH were invited by the good folks Warner Bros. Philippines to the long awaited advanced screening of the next chapter in the growing DC Extended Universe - "Suicide Squad"! Directed by David Ayer and starring an ensemble cast that features Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, and Jared Leto as The Joker, the film shows the villains of DC Universe being rounded up by the US Government to do the dirty jobs in exchange for a lighter sentence or deal. In other words, "Task Force X" is sent on Black Ops missions that are considered too dangerous - hence the name "Suicide Squad".

Featuring friends and cosplayers gathered by "Batman" Timzster (who was dressed as Bruce Wayne at the time) who were suited up as the Squad themselves, the premiere was filled with all kinds of guests and attendees from media and the press to cover the long awaited anti-hero chapter of the DCEU. Suited up in their secret identities, the members of Justice PH that includes FlashQuickChange (Barry Allen/ The Flash), Christophe X (Arthur Curry/ Aquaman), Super Gerard (Clark Kent/ Superman), and Pat Olarte (Diana Prince/ Wonder Woman) served as the handlers of the group along with Bats, and there plenty of photo opportunities and video coverage shared just before everyone got to see the film!

Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition - Coming to Blu-Ray and DVD on July

It's been nearly over three months since Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment unleashed an EPIC confrontation between the Dark Knight and Man of Steel in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" - but the 2 hour plus film that is set two years after the events of "Man of Steel" left a lot of people divided over its presentation and wondering how much of the film's plot points would have made sense if certain scenes didn't end up in the cutting room floor.

Thankfully that concern is going to be addressed with the release of the "Ultimate Edition" for digital and home media - which promises more content, features, and the aforementioned scenes that were not included in the theatrical release.

Also, Jena Malone's character will finally appear and interact with characters such as Amy Adams' Lois Lane, and of course there's the special features that will give fans a deeper look into what went on behind the scenes and what it took to produce and create the cinematic world that will house more characters based from the world of the DC Universe.

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!

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: Powered by BatTech... Meet Armored Batman!

Bruce Wayne may hone his skills, body, and mind to become the perfect weapon and crimefighter as Batman, but even The Dark Knight needs more tricks up his sleeve to work with when facing against powerful beings... ESPECIALLY a certain "Last Son of Krypton" and alien who happens to have God-Like powers at his disposal thanks to the Earth's yellow sun.

The solution? Secretly using his unlimited resources and tech from Wayne Enterprises and other subsidiaries to develop an arsenal of gadgets and weapons, mostly non-lethal and augmenting his strength tenfold. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, we get a taste of that first hand with the debut of the "Armored Batman" Batsuit - which protects Wayne and supplies him with enough protection and firepower to take on Superman anytime, anyplace!

As another Batsuit appearing in the film worn by Ben Affleck, the Armored Batsuit is inspired and patterned after the same armor exoskeleton that an aged Bruce Wayne uses in Frank Miller's seminal 1986 graphic novel classic "The Dark Knight Returns". In the final chapter of that four-part miniseries, Batman confronts Superman in an epic showdown with Gotham City as their arena, and the gloves are off for both combatants as both fight to see "the best man win".

See how the armor fares when Batman takes on Superman in this exclusive clip from the film.


Batman v Superman: Rooftop Fight
As smart as he is, Batman is always sure to be prepared and ready for ANY contingency, and that's why he has an Armored suit to take on the Man of Steel. Be sure to look for the Armored Batman B'lue Water Plus design bottle, which comes in Inspiring Calamansi flavor and is available at a convenience store near you along with other BvS designs!
