Watching superhero movies will make us happy because we feel we are in the right and upholding justice. The fun, coupled with incredible battle scenes, will make us all excited. Even if we are just spectators, we always hope the villain loses. Hence, almost every superhero has a passionate fan.


What if two superheroes collide? Both Batman and Superman with different characters and abilities, even though they are equally strong. The appearance of the two in one film is the first time in the form of live-action.


Brief Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) Review

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice begins with Bruce Wayne falling on his face while running from his parent's funeral. Then, he saw bats as different beings and manifested them within himself. Batman, in this film, is a dark vigilante.


Batman does not hesitate to do various ways to uphold justice in his city; even Gotham has to fight Superman. Superman's figure is no less dark. Batman was annoyed by Superman's behaviour in Gotham when he fought enemies and created damage. In the other hand, feeling that Batman is starting to harass Superman's whereabouts, Clark Kent seeks as much information as possible about the man he considers a dangerous vigilante.


The dark nuance doesn't only cover the two main characters of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice but also cinematographically. The choice of colour seems to depict a world that is in chaos and needs a saviour. This is increasingly seen when almost every fight that exists creates damage here and there.

Seeing the title and the poster, some people will think that this film will show the well-developed cooperation between the two superheroes, Batman and Superman. That view is immediately countered at the beginning of the film.


In addition to being beyond expectations, we are treated to how their egos don't want to "give in" to each other. The dialogue between the two is also made in-depth and shows that the world is in danger even though the more significant threat comes from Lex Luthor.

Breitling Bentley 6.75 Limited Edition Watch Inspiration

Inspiration always comes from the inception. The partnership between Bentley and Breitling was born in 2002, when Bentley commissioned Breitling to create an onboard clock for the Continental GT. The new Grand Tourer debuted in 2003 with the Breitling clock built into it.

Furthermore, The Breitling for Bentley 6.75 Midnight Carbon timepiece was inspired by one of Bentley's most significant engines, Bentley's 6.75-litre V8 engine that powers the Mulsanne limousine cars.


When the V8 was first developed, it faced some significant challenges. It had to replace a straight six that dated back to 1922 and boost power and torque by 50 per cent, matching it for smoothness, noise, and reliability while fitting in the same space without structural alterations. The Bentley engineers were able to manage all that, one of which was casting the block from aluminum instead of iron. This helped, as it was 30lb lighter.
