May 20, 2016 by Tony Black

It’s a question that divides many. Some don’t even believe it needs answering, particularly those who defended Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice against the legions of critics and fans who heaped scorn on it. Warner Bros themselves didn’t think it was a question at all, given how shocked the studio were that people *gasp* […]
