Show Notes
Ten years ago, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice arrived in theaters and sparked one of the biggest debates in comic book movie history. But was this really the first time Batman and Superman stood on opposite sides?
In this episode of Beyond the Bat Signal, Domenic looks back at the 10-year anniversary of the film and explores the deeper history of the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel clashing long before Zack Snyder brought them to the big screen. From the iconic showdown in The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller to other legendary comic book confrontations, we break down how decades of storytelling shaped the rivalry that eventually inspired the film.
We’ll also discuss the real reason the movie was titled Batman v Superman, why the studio insisted on the “versus” angle, and whether the film truly captured the philosophical conflict between Gotham’s protector and Metropolis’ hero.
