Another week, another Superman movie. Last week, we dissected Man of Steel in anticipation for this week’s release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Directed by Zack Snyder, starring Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman. Since its release, there has been a really negative reaction from critics, but Christopher Cross and Dylan Schwan aren’t afraid to go against the grain if it warrants it.
