It’s Less Rushed

Captain America: Civil War is undoubtedly the biggest movie event in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date – but that’s fine, because it’s the thirteenth installment in the franchise and is something that has been built-up to since 2008.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice can claim no such thing. It’s a huge event, but it is merely the second installment in the DC Extended Universe.

To introduce such a large cast of new characters – the likes of Batman, Lex Luthor, Doomsday, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash, Cyborg, Mercy Graves and Alfred Pennyworth et al – all in just the second movie of the franchise is crazy. It’s very rushed and you get the impression that will be very noticeable when you’re watching it.
