4. Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice
($339,330,588.13)
Number 15 on the non-inflation adjusted list is the DCEU's token disaster-piece, the eminently study-able catastro-f**k of filmmaking, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Dear Lord, We Need a Cinematic Universe.
Many found that this sequel(?) to the divisive Man of Steel was not divisive at all. The subject of tons and tons of box office reporting due to its unprecedented Friday-to-Sunday dropoff, the film is endemic of the kind of superhero movie blockbuster culture that folks love to criticize.
And it's not hard to see why when viewing this overly long, incompetently structured objectivist love letter to nerdy inferiority complexes. It takes one overrated but good comic and one overrated but bad comic, strips all of the nuance out of both, and mashes them together until all that's left is an unholy slurry of cliché and grayscale. This is a movie in which jars of urine and coincidental mother names are presented with all the po-faced seriousness of a teenager who's really into nu-metal.
What I'm saying is that it's bad.
