I saw “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” this weekend and the moment I saw Bruce Wayne’s glass lake house, I said to myself “man, I wish I had one of those.” I might not ever get to live in such a house, but at least I can explore it with Google Maps and Street View.

Google and Warner Bros have teamed up to give us an amazing 360-degree look inside Bruce Wayne’s residence and, are you ready for this, the Batcave itself.

You start within Bruce Wayne’s glass lake house but when you go down a dark hallway, you’ll find yourself inside the Batcave, where you can check out the new Batmobile, Batman’s amazing computer, and plenty other cool stuff.

Batman v Superman scores big at the box office, despite heavy criticism

Even though the critics absolutely hate Batman v Superman, the movie scored big at the box office. It racked up $170 million domestically and $424 million globally in its first weekend, earning the title of Warner Bros' biggest weekend opening ever, the 4th biggest global debut in history, and the 6th biggest domestic launch.

“There’s a real disconnect with what some critics wrote and how the fans are enjoying the film,” said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. distribution executive vice president. “It doesn’t take itself seriously. It’s just an enjoyable afternoon at the movies.”

The movie’s budget was $250 million, with another $150 million for marketing. So by making $424 million globally, Batman v Superman already covered all the costs in its first weekend. If it goes on to make 1 billion worldwide, it will make a lot of people at Warner Bros happy. And hopefully, it will put a smile back on Ben Affleck’s face.




The 10 most WTF moments in Batman v Superman

As a CinemaSins fan, I am going to channel my inner-Jeremy and point out the 10 moments that annoyed me in this movie. If you saw the movie, you’ll understand what I’m going on about. If you didn’t, then here’s your spoiler warning.


1. Why do you have to show me how Batman’s parents died?

Is there anyone in the whole world who doesn’t know Batman’s origin story? Is there?! I don’t think so.

2. Wayne Financial employees don’t evacuate until Bruce Wayne calls and tells them to do so.

There’s a doomsday device outside your window, everything is getting destroyed, and you’re still working on that spreadsheet instead of evacuating? That’s some dedicated workforce right there.

3. Lex Luthor kills his very own assistant.

Because Senator Finch is a thorn in Luthor's side, he decides to do away with her, by blowing up a Congressional hearing at the U.S. Capitol. Now, I get why Luthor wanted the senator dead. But why did he have to kill his assistant, Mercy Graves, as well?

4. The “White Portuguese” isn’t a person, it’s a ship!

Batman’s tracking someone called the “White Portuguese” in the movie. Only it’s not a someone, it’s a freaking ship. So if it is a ship, why did Batman, the world’s greatest detective, have such a hard time finding out that the “White Portuguese” is a ship?

5. How is the Daily Planet still in businesses?

In this day and age, when publishers are switching from print to digital, how is the Daily Planet still in business? And for that matter, how does Clark Kent still have a job with the Daily Planet? I mean he refuses to write the sports article the boss requests and, on top of that, he disappears without telling anyone where he went.

6. There’s a Batman training montage

You saw Batman train with the League of Shadows in The Dark Night Rises, now get ready to see Batman lifting weights and hitting a tire with a sledgehammer. Because obviously, how else are you going to get ready to fight Superman?

7. Superman is tricked by a smoke bomb

Batman uses a smoke bomb to evade Superman. You know, Superman, the guy who can see through walls!

8. Martha Kent works in a diner.

Where else would Superman’s mom work? And when the bad guys show up at the diner to kidnap her, Superman doesn’t magically appear to save her. He does that for Lois, but not for his mom.

9. Batman’s one rule is “no killing”

You can change the actor who plays Batman, you can change the Batmobile, you can change the Batman costume, you can change anything you want. But you can’t change Batman’s one and only rule: no killing. In this movie, Batman’s more like the Punisher, shooting and killing every bad guy in sight. He has machine guns on the Batmobile's hood, for f#$k sake.

10. Batman doesn’t kill Superman because “Martha”

Batman’s mom was named Martha. Superman’s mom is named Martha. And that’s all it takes for Batman not to kill Superman with a Kryptonite spear.
