LOS ANGELES: “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” steamrolled past records, debuting to a gargantuan $170.1 million over Easter weekend despite being pilloried by critics. That ranks as the top opening weekend for a DC Comics film, the best March launch ever, and the sixth biggest domestic opening weekend of all-time.
Batman and Superman may face off in an upcoming movie blockbuster but copies of the superheroes' first outings dating back almost 80 years are going on display in a new exhibition of original DC Comics books.
