The Snyderverse Trilogy II: Batman v Superman (Ultimate Edition)

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Justin De Voe (NOT SO SECRET DADS BUSINESS podcast) dig into the 2016 film BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE (ULTIMATE EDITION) directed by Zack Snyder and starring Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman.

In the second part of a 3-episode exploration of the "Snyderverse Trilogy" of films, Anthony and Justin wrestle with the thought-provoking (and often misunderstood) BvS and its most polarizing aspects: the film's tone, use of lethal force by Batman, inclusion and visualization of Doomsday, depiction of Lex Luthor, and—of course—the "Martha" moment.
