6 Degrees Of Superheroes And Villains

The briefest of glances at the box office achievements of any movie featuring superheroes clearly indicates the popularity of such projects. With such huge fan followings comes instant recognition for the performers involved, and entry into the amusing game of spotting superheroes assembling elsewhere. Sometimes, these are notable movies sprinkled in between super gigs. Other, more amusing times, these are examples of superheroes assembling before they ever became the legendary alter-ego that would inevitably define them for years to come.

Featuring: Jor-El, Batman, General Swanwick, Amanda Waller

Before there was Batman V Superman, Batman clashed with Superman’s Dad – Jor-El – in Kevin Macdonald’s big-screen adaptation of the 2003 British television drama of the same name.

Starring Ben Affleck (who played Daredevil in 2003, before taking up the cowl for director Zack Snyder) and Russell Crowe (Jor-El in Man Of Steel), the film charts the fraught friendship between a congressman (Affleck) and a Washington D.C journalist (Crowe), as the politician becomes increasingly embroiled in a sex and murder scandal.

In addition to Jor-El and Batman/Daredevil, the film features the mighty Harry Lennix as Detective Bell – although he is probably better known to superhero fans as General Swanwick in Man Of Steel. Academy Award nominee Viola Davis also stars as Dr. Judith Franklin, although she is currently in the spotlight for being cast as Amanda Waller in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie.
