“Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” was a divisive movie to say the least. Fans seem to be split when it comes to their opinions on the film, but one of the things that Batman fans complained about the most is all of the killing that Ben Affleck’s Batman does in the film.
Batman has killed in the past and he’s also killed people in movies before but for some reason people just got extra pissed about it this time around. Zack Snyder’s take on Batman wasn’t exactly merciful, but hey he did what he had to do.
Sometimes in the line of duty decisions have to be made and it just so happens that this Batman decided blowing up the guy with the flamethrower was the best course of action. So how many people did Batman kill this time around?
According to a new video from Mr. Sunday Movies, Batman killed 21 people in “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.” That’s right, 21 people.
Of course it’s worth pointing out that the video also counts people that were killed during Batman’s Knightmare sequence so it’s up to you to decide if those are legit kills or not. In any case, you can relive Batman’s murderous rampage in the video below.
It’s been nearly two years since Superman’s (Henry Cavill) colossal battle with Zod (Michael Shannon) devastated the city of Metropolis. The loss of life and collateral damage left many feeling angry and helpless, including crime-fighting billionaire Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck). Convinced that Superman is now a threat to humanity, Batman embarks on a personal vendetta to end his reign on Earth, while the conniving Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) launches his own crusade against the Man of Steel.
