The 2nd film in the DC Extended Universe released on March 25, 2016. Directed by Zack Snyder, the film featured the first live action team up between Batman and Superman, and also featured the first live action theatrical appearance of Wonder Woman.

Upon release, Batman v. Superman recieved negative reviews and polarized the DC fandom, and damaged the brand in a way that DC never really recovered from, even to this day.

Although it made $874 million at the box office, its’ large budget made BvS a flop. The film was followed by Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, and the infamous Justice League.

    And the first live action Martian Manhunter. J’onn has such a big role in the animated works it’s a bummer how little we’ve seen him in live action.
