Man of Steel: The Birth of a Cinematic Universe

Dawn of Batman v Superman: The Hype Awakens
Once Man of Steel debuted, WB and Zack Snyder expanded the cinematic universe to bring in the likes of Batman, Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, and Doomsday. The anticipation and excitement was on another level.
Part III
