Revisiting Zack Snyder's DC Universe

 In preparation of Zack Snyder's version of Justice Leauge actually (finally?) coming into being, I wanted to re-visit the first two entries of the DC universe ahead of time - which are also his movies - Man of Steel , and Batman v Superman (or I'll sometimes refer to it by it's subtitle, Dawn of Justice ). Before starting this post, however, I want to express this: I both love films, and comic books. Sometimes, finding that 'happy medium' between the two can be tricky. The other is, I'm essentially a "DC". (remember that parody video that spoofed the 'Are You an Apple or a PC' commercial titled 'Are You a Marvel or a DC?')

Venture deeper into a beloved fantasy world with this extended four-disc collection that p...
