Thirteen movies into the MCU, and Warner Bros. lands just its
third “DC Verse” entry, making it clear who the tortoise in this race is. Since
the release of Iron Man in 2008, Marvel have invested incredibly well, taking
their time to establish the “Marvel Cinematic Universe” and never once rushing
a release. But it would be a lie to say that they haven’t stuffed their films
with adverts for future instalments, as it would be to say that every one of
their films to date has been great. Nevertheless, while Marvel have been busy
conquering the real universe, Warner Bros. have been desperately trying to
catch up, with this year’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice being stuffed to
the point of suffocation itself with its less-than-subtle foreshadowing for
next year’s Justice League movie - DC’s answer to Marvel’s Avengers Assemble.
