The heroes

Both Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Captain America: Civil War will feature an abundance of superheroes. Batman v Superman will have Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg, and the Flash, while Civil War will feature Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Vision, Black Widow, and many more.

Ten years ago, if you’d said Batman and Superman were in the same movie, you’d expect that movie to thrash anything Marvel could muster up but, since then, Iron Man’s popularity has soared, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become a veritable phenomenon, and Spider-Man has joined the fray – this one will be a close-run thing.

In fact, the greater number of heroes in Civil War might just give it the edge over Batman v Superman. Either way, this particular comparison will be one that lots of people will be talking about – what a cinematic battle we have in store!

Remember though, each movie is just a part of a huge universe.
