Pretty weird decision to make a movie with a female character in the lead, stock it chock full of female supporting roles, then title it "Superman/Batman", but okay. Guess I should just be glad it got made at all, especially way back in 2010. The film itself? It's alright, has that bizarre simplistic-yet-confusing combo that you'd think is such an oxymoron it'd be impossible to hit but superhero fare pretty frequently stumbles in to, but at least it's not completely paint by numbers.

Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
