Heroes wide open

Binge-stream superhero movies with a darker twist with Showmax's DC Universe of films.

- CRAIG FALCK

The DC comic book Universe isn’t just one or two heroes. There are more than you realise, and they each live in their own worlds while visiting one another occasionally. And they’re filling up Showmax’s viewing pages, ready for you to fly through the sky and punch baddies into tiny bits.

ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE (movie)

Forget the horror show that was director Joss Whedon’s 2017 version. He spent over $300 million (R4.6 billion) and it was less than average. Thanks to an online fan petition, original director Zack Snyder, who left the project following his daughter Autumn’s suicide in 2016, was brought back and given the reigns to make the movie he imagined as the likes of Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Flash (Ezra Miller) and more try to protect Earth from the vengeful bloodthirsty god Steppenwolf. This new version is flashy, high-action, great acting, and amazing special effects. It’s so good that you’ll be begging for more even after the 242 runtime is up!
