Zack Snyder’sBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicecontinues to spark heated discussions, remaining a topic of controversy even eight years after its premiere in 2016. The film introduced Ben Affleck as Batman in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), pitting him against Henry Cavill’s Superman. Despite its place within the larger narrative,Batman v Supermanremains one of the most divisive films in DC’s cinematic history.
Interestingly, the concept of conflict between these two iconic heroes isn’t entirely new to the DC universe. In fact, a particularly controversial comic book story,Batman #42, depicts Superman actually killing Batman. While they’ve clashed numerous times in the comics, instances of Superman directly causing Batman’s death are rare. One such instance involved the villain Poison Ivy manipulating Superman, leading him to fatally punch Batman in a fit of rage. However, even in this instance, Batman was eventually resurrected, highlighting the complex and often nuanced relationship between these two powerful figures.
