The teased warehouse fight was probably the film’s best scene, showcasing Batman's fighting skills and cunning as he went up against multiple henchmen simultaneously.
The Caped Crusader in the Batman: Arkham series was obviously the inspiration for the BvS character, which showed that Zack Snyder looked beyond the comics when creating this new version of the superhero.
