'Batman v Superman' stars are firing back against critics and poor reviews

"Batman v Superman" may have received terrible reviews from critics, but that didn't stop it from having a big $170 million opening weekend at the box office.

That number is not only the largest opening for a March movie, but it's also the highest-grossing opening weekend for a Warner Bros.' flick.

Now that the numbers are out, "Batman v Superman" actors are hitting back at the critics whose reviews have the movie sitting at 29% on film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

Cyborg and Aquaman stars Ray Fisher and Jason Momoa, who are hanging out for Easter, both took to Instagram changing up lines of dialogue from the movie to throw shade at critics.

Here's the one from Momoa:

bhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Shit made me laugh. Heehehehehe. Just go have fun watch enjoy. Proud of WB and DC There's a lot coming A LOT

Critics who can't act or know comics are a bit hypocritical, wouldn't you say? Knowing every time their friend directs a boring movie, write a puff piece review about a boring story ... Maybe it's just WB, DC, and me that have a bad history with people acting like clowns." 

The actual dialogue from the film is between Clark Kent (Superman) and Bruce Wayne (Batman) when they meet at an event hosted by Lex Luthor.

The Daily Planet criticizing those who are above the law is a little hypocritical, wouldn't you say, considering every time every time your hero saves a cat out of a tree you write a puff piece editorial about an alien who could burn the whole place down? Maybe it's the Gotham City in me. We just have a bad history with freaks dressed like clowns.

And here's the Instagram posted a few hours later from Fisher:

20 years in journalism...how many good critics are left? How many stayed that way? They want the power to wipe out the entire DC movie slate...and we have to destroy them! 

Both Momoa and Fisher have small cameos in "Batman v Superman." They should both be back on screen in 2017's "Justice League" movie.
