TWO KOSHER SUPERHEROES

Opening on Friday, March 25, is the
blockbuster action film, Batman v.
Superman: Dawn of Justice. No doubt,
the late Bob Kane, who created
Batman, and the late Jerry Siegel
and Joe Schuster, who created
Superman, would be surprised to see
the duo at odds. However, an iconic
superhero showdown is a novel twist
and we’ll see how well it’s done. The
film opens with Batman (Ben Affleck)
and Superman (Henry Cavill) in a
funk as they ponder the casualties of
crime-fighting and the proper use of
super powers. Enter Lex Luthor (Jesse
Eisenberg, 32), a billionaire sociopath
who preys on their anxieties and then
orchestrates a mass murder aimed at
turning the super-hero duo against
each other.
The film features the first appear-
ance of super-hero Wonder Woman in
a major movie, and the Jewish press
has long kvelled about the casting of
Israeli actress Gal Gadot, 30 (Fast and

Eisenberg as Lex Luthor

Furious) as Wonder Woman. The news
gets better: Wonder Woman is, indeed,
a major character in the film and
will reappear in future DC Extended
Universe films. Also appearing in a
brief scene is Ezra Miller, 23, as the
Flash. It seems likely that Miller (as the
Flash) will have a much bigger role in
the Extended Universe films to come.

JEWISH ROOTS

The ancestry of Dustin Hoffman,
78, was the subject of the March
8 episode of the PBS show Finding
Your Roots. No written description
can convey Hoffman’s moving reac-
tions as he learns about the tragically
dramatic history of his father’s family
— and you have to see him discuss
his embrace of his Jewish identity. So,
