does the superhero crossover have a sequel?

BATMAN V SUPERMAN – Broadcast this Sunday on TF1, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was intended as the starting point of a vast shared universe of adaptations of DC superhero comics.

[Mis à jour le 6 mars 2022 à 21h] Released in theaters in 2016, Batman v Superman stages the clash between Henry Cavill’s Superman (Man of Steel, The Witcher) and the Dark Knight, camped for the occasion by Ben Affleck, a novelty at the time since it t is Christian Bale who was chosen by Christopher Nolan for the previous trilogy. A highly anticipated crossover, Zack Snyder’s film was also to propel the filmed adaptations of DC Comics superheroes into the great era of Avengers-style shared universes at Marvel. Soberly subtitled “Dawn of Justice”, Batman v Superman is therefore followed by Justice League, a film shot by Zack Snyder, of which a first cinema version was finished and edited by Joss Whedon then a second called “Snyder Cut” was then aired on HBO Max and on VOD to delight fans. Rather poorly received both by critics and in public revenue, Justice League disappointed the expectations of the studio, which therefore did not continue its efforts.

Since then, Ben Affleck no longer plays Batman and has been replaced by Robert Pattinson who signs a new incarnation in March 2022 with The Batman by Matt Reeves. Likewise, Henry Cavill has hung up the Superman cape and is devoting himself to other projects including the hit Netflix series The Witcher. The British actor, however, regularly evokes his desire to play Clark Kent alias Superman once more but, for the time being, his calls have remained a dead letter. The Joker camped by Jared Leto and seen in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad has also been abandoned in favor of a new incarnation, this time by Joaquin Phoenix in Joker, a film by Todd Phillips acclaimed by critics.

Synopsis – Considering the arrival of a superman as a potential threat to the order of society, Batman decides to confront Superman in order to prevent him from abusing his immense powers. But while the two heroes engage in a daunting confrontation, a cataclysmic threat orchestrated by Lex Luthor hangs over the world
