Snyder tear-asses through two hours and 31 minutes of head-spinning, PG-13 mayhem (an expanded R-rated Ultimate Edition will be available later on home video).

But when you’re setting up the greatest gladiator match in the history of DC Comics, subtlety is not your weapon of choice.

In the battle between Batman and Superman, I pick Wonder Woman for the win.
