4) Warehouse Fight – Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
It’s fair to say that Zack Snyder’s portrayal of Batman in Batman V Superman was controversial. Though Ben Affleck’s performance was widely acclaimed, Bats displayed an unusual thirst for blood throughout the movie. Whether that’s right for the character is up for debate, but it did result in the jaw-dropping warehouse fight scene.
This moment went a long way in convincing people that Ben Affleck’s version was the most formidable take on the Dark Knight yet seen in live-action. Certainly, few – if any – scenes in Batman’s long cinematic history have captured his ferocity and skill in a fight as well as this one. Here, we can plainly see the difference between Supes and Bats. Kal-El could have taken down these guys in a blink (or laser bolt) of an eye, but for Batman it takes effort, time and ingenuity – and is all the more impressive for it.
He might have been severely injured, probably paralyzed and possibly killed a shedload of nameless henchmen, but at least he looked cool while doing it.
