Cool Videos: The Dark Knight’s body count in Batman V Superman

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

You could spend your entire day running through the critiques levied against Zack Snyder's BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE since the film was released. Some are perfectly justified and make for interesting discussions about the movie and Warner Bros. initial direction for the DC Cinematic Universe. Others are just piling on for the sake of hating on the damn thing. 

One such point of contention deals with Batman's body count throughout the film. Now there are ways to take issue with his level of violence in BVS that give you a leg to stand on… and then there are others that come across as fanboy whining that Batfleck wasn't exactly the vision for Batman you had concocted in your head for this particular film. In the end, Snyder made the film he wanted, with Warner Bros. blessing, and Batman killed some bad guys. You may not like it, but there's no changing it. What's done is done. 

But how many people did Batman indeed wipe out in BATMAN V SUPERMAN? Have you ever counted? If not, don't sweat it. Mr. Sunday Movies saved you the trouble and ran a tally with a little help from some familiar faces within Christopher Nolan's Bat-verse. Now, while every potential victim isn't shown to die in DAWN OF JUSTICE, it's safe to assume that when a car full of people is jettisoned onto another car full of people, no one is walking out of that okay.
