Idris Elba / Shere Khan
Voiced by Idris Elba, Shere Khan bears the scars of man, which fuel his hatred of humans. Convinced that Mowgli poses a threat, the bengal tiger is determined to rid the jungle of the man-cub. "Shere Khan reigns with fear," says Elba. "He terrorizes everyone he encounters because he comes from a place of fear."

Lupita Nyong'o / Raksha
Lupita Nyong'o voices Raksha, a mother wolf who cares deeply for all of her pups–including man-cub Mowgli, whom she adopts as one of her own when he's abandoned in the jungle as an infant. "She is the protector, the eternal mother," says Nyong'o. "The word Raksha actually means protection in Hindi. I felt really connected to that, wanting to protect a son that isn’t originally hers but one she’s taken for her own."

Kaa is a massive python who uses her voice and hypnotic gaze to entrance Mowgli. The man-cub can't resist her captivating embrace. "Kaa seduces and entraps Mowgli with her storytelling," says Scarlett Johansson. "She's the mirror into Mowgli's past. The way she moves is very alluring, almost coquettish."

Sir Ben Kingsley / Bagheera
Bagheera is a sleek panther who feels it's his duty to help the man-cub depart with dignity when it's time for him to leave his jungle home. "Bagheera is Mowgli’s adoptive parent," says Ben Kingsley, who lends his voice to Bagheera. "His role in Mowgli’s life is to educate, to protect and to guide. My Bagheera was military–he’s probably a colonel. He is instantly recognizable by the way he talks, how he acts and what his ethical code is.”

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE
Plot:
Having suffered losses with some employees from his company that died in the devastation caused while Superman (Henry Cavill) fought to save the city of Metropolis, Bruce Wayne and his alter ego Batman (Affleck) holds the Man of Steel accountable because he feel that he operates under his own immunity who answered to no one. So Batman fueled with bitterness sets out to weaken and kill Superman by devising a weapon made of kryptonite. While the two superheros engage in battle, Metropolis is threatened by an even more powerful creature named Doomsday by his creator the madman genius Lex Luthor (Eisenberg) who has his own desire to rule the world. The two heroes must then put their differences aside and work together along with the mysterious but beautiful Wonder Woman (Gadot) to focus on stopping Doomsday from destroying Metropolis.
Reel Talk:
It is finally here....the long awaited BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE!!! So was it worth the wait? Well die hard Batman and Superman fans will not be disappointed. The story is intense and the action is fast paced and exciting. The film which is sorta long could have omitted a few scenes that were really unnecessary and that would have shorten it down. Cavill reprising his role as The Man Of Steel was pretty much the same and Ben Affleck as Batman put in a decent performance especially since he wanted to do this role for his children (that gives him bonus points in my book). It also gives previews of the pending superheros that will soon become known as The Justice League with the gorgeous Gia Gadot as Wonder Woman. Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor was a bit annoying, his character should have been more grittier. Overall a good movie, that is entertaining and worth cashing out even if just on the hype alone.
Starring: Ben Affleck, Ben Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Gal Gadot, Laurence Fishburne and Jeremy Irons
Directed by: Zack Synder
Rated: PG-13
I give it 3 corn dogs.
