He and Jeremy Irons (as Alfred) have a good rapport, but there's so much going on that there's little time to focus on individual character arcs. Affleck is an ideal Bruce Wayne he's effortless playing the broody playboy billionaire who isn't sure Superman is so super.
With charismatic performances and epic battle scenes, this unrelentingly serious start to a new DC Universe franchise is intriguing but also humorless and overdone.

Note: This review is of the PG-13 theatrical release the R-rated extended cut may contain additional content. Language is limited to a couple of uses of "s-t" and "damn," and adults drink wine and cocktails. There's some romance and passionate kisses between Clark and Lois (who live together) - one that takes place in a tub while she's taking a bath (her bare shoulders/legs are seen, as is a woman's bare back in another scene, as well as men's bare chests).
The violence can be up close and personal: Characters' loved ones are captured at gun point, an entire room explodes, and people are shot execution style. As the two grow distrustful of each other, supervillain Lex Luthor ( Jesse Eisenberg) sets the stage for an even deadlier battle between the forces of good and a nearly unstoppable evil. Superman: Dawn of Justice is a dark, serious superhero drama that pits the titular DC comics characters - Batman ( Ben Affleck) and Superman ( Henry Cavill) - against each other, though ultimately the message is one of teamwork.
