Welcome to the first of a new regular feature wherein sequels/remakes/reboots of movies will battle it out to see who shall be crowned the winner.
The rules are simple:
- The first film in a series cannot battle with a sequel but can with a previous iteration (i.e, Batman Begins cannot battle The Dark Knight but can battle Batman '89);
- Scores are taken from the users and critics percentages from Rotten Tomatoes, I then give my verdict on each film and the winner is picked.

MAN OF STEEL - Whilst the destruction porn becomes a bit much, Man of Steel is an epic science fiction spectacular that, even though it is flawed, brims with humanity.
And, the winner is:
