Recall the quaking, wrenching, racking opening ofBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice? Starring Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck as Superman and Batman, the film contained perhaps one of the most chilling moments in the history of opening scenes in cinema. Later, the movie truly did justice to each consecutive moment that followed. The heartbreaking nostalgia therefore connected toBVSwas initiated in the moments when Bruce Wayne, the man and not the superhero underneath, raced toward a falling skyscraper to save hundreds of people – his people – and failed.
The rubble that was left behind was symbolic of the destruction dealt by Superman: the one who was supposed to be a savior but in Batman’s eyes, turned out to be a false god.
The replica of this entire scene, sans the feelings of revenge and retribution, played out recently in Antalya province of Turkey where Henry Cavill was present to shoot a Guy Ritchie film on location. Fans have been highly impressed with the actor’s readiness at lending a helping hand to the calamity-struck region.

The southeastern region of Turkey along the Syrian border has not been prone to earthquakes for over 200 years. The last recorded major seismic activity took place in 1822 when a quake of 7.4 magnitudes hit the regions surrounding Aleppo. The region has, as such, been unprepared in terms of handling a major calamity due to its lack of proper precautionary measures in infrastructure and disaster management.
