Batman v Superman premiere reactions: ‘Affleck’s Bruce Wayne may be the best on screen to date’

With the first official reviews for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice embargoed until later today, what we do have are a handful of reactions from fellows who were lucky enough to attend the film’s premiere. Take a read of some of them below:

I haven't felt this giddy after watching a movie since The Avengers. Goosebumps. Everywhere. Need to talk about it ASAP. #BVSPremiere

If #BatmanvSuperman is an example of what to expect from future DC movies then Marvel better watch out

I can confirm the loudest applause of the night at #BVSPremiere was #WonderWoman entrance. #WhoWillWin Wonder Women won. And she will again

So from these few Twitter reactions, what can we take? Sounds like both Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot are the real stars of the show, as Batman and Wonder Woman respectively. Also, there seems to be an overall feeling of awe – but we wonder what the reaction of audiences worldwide will be like. After all, the select few non-industry folk who attended the premiere aren’t professional journalists; perhaps the buzz will wear off sooner or later? Either way, there’s not much longer to wait until critical verdicts, or until the release of the movie itself this weekend.
