ON FILM : Batman V Superman and the Cinematic Comic Book Universe

  Predictions are that Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice will surpass the $1 billion mark globally.  Host Charles Horak welcomes Kyle Alvarado to talk about why this poorly-reviewed film with countless subplots is more of a means to launch a franchise than to stand on its own as a singular piece of filmmaking.

Charles and Kyle also talk about the future of the Marvel & DC comic book movies and why they seem to be much darker in a post-9/11 world.

Aired April 2, 2016
