The Warehouse Scene (Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice)
We’ve witnessed some incredible portrayals of Batman on the big screen over the years. Yet, none had shown the Dark Knight’s superior fighting abilities and dexterity until 2016’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. And if there’s one part that shows off all the years of hard training and studies of the martial arts, it’s the warehouse scene where the Caped Crusader has to rescue Martha Kent from Lex Luthor’s goons.
If you’ve ever played any of the Arkham games, we’re sure you’ve asked yourself at least once why Batman can’t fight in exactly the same way in the movies. Well, Snyder must’ve tapped our Xboxes and PlayStations because he listened to every single one of our requirements. It probably took him hours to take notes and screenshots from the games, because this clash screamed stealth and brutality like nothing we’ve ever seen before. From skull-crushing beatdowns, to sneaky takedowns, to gadgetry wizardry at its finest, it was the Batman battle we’ve always wanted to witness in film.
Yeah, some will question the Bat’s “methods” and if he snapped a neck or two in the process, but you don’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, right? Take a bow, Snyder. You successfully brought the video game franchise’s best moments to live action with aplomb.
