It’s that time of the year again when spandex and capes are back in fashion! No, we’re not talking about Halloween; we’re talking about America’s new kryptonite: superhero films.
2015 was great for many of our favorite caped crusaders, and 2016 is shaping up to be another excellent year with Deadpool breaking box office records with his on-screen debut in February. But let’s face it, the titan of all superhero films is finally here: Batman vs Superman. And for the first time, we will be seeing two of the most iconic superheroes duke it out on the rooftops of Gotham City and Metropolis.
We’re excited by what we’ve seen so far. The casting is great; the costumes look good; and the storyline seems very promising. But there is one thing from the trailers that left us a bit perplexed…
Look Batman, you are one of the smartest superheroes out there. What you lack in superpowers, you make up for with intelligence and discipline to outwit your opponents. On top of that, you have an entire arsenal of weapons and gadgets to play with. So we have to call you out when you appear to deliberately crash the Batmobile into Superman. There goes your $6 million investment, now wrecked and engulfed in flames.
We have a more strategic approach for the Dark Knight’s next encounter with Superman. Perhaps you might want to run a few simulations around crash scenarios to see if the car is Batfit? We can help. Or he might want to go a bit more futuristic like this car from Faraday Future, an automobile upstart that makes premium electric cars. Using Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the company has implemented the “Target Zero Defect” and “Smart Safe & Connected” industry solution experiences for the development and delivery of its FFZERO1 concept car. In addition to having smart technology, the FFZERO1 also has its own sleek futuristic twist on the Batmobile design. With its subtle but powerful engine, the FFZERO1 is the ideal mode of transportation to complement Batman’s stealth and strategic approach. And with its modular design, Faraday Future can quickly and cost-effectively produce a number of different variants of its forthcoming cars, all built from the same chassis. That’s a smart production strategy that won’t leave Wayne Enterprises bankrupt the next time the Batmobile gets used in a demolition derby.
As for Superman, we advise him to be constantly wary of his surroundings because not even his superhuman senses will anticipate what the Dark Knight has coming for him!
