Wow, I overlooked that. That is amazing

Indeed, amazing and very surprising -- at least to me.

 

[John Locke]

Makes sense, they'll probably release the DVD around the same time as Suicide Squad.

The big secret surrounding BvS: Jena Malone is playing a GNN newscaster who takes a random call from the joker.

Obligatory inaugural thread pic...

Indeed, amazing and very surprising -- at least to me.

The director's cut of Watchmen was also released alongside with the theatrical version. I mean...they did double dip with the ultimate edition later on but squeezing in the Black Freighter really was pushing it and geared towards the ultimate fan.

Weeks before Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters on March 25, the Motion Picture Association of America announced that the PG-13 film will have an R-rating when its extended “Ultimate Edition” is released this summer on home video.
Some moviegoers are excited at the prospect of a more adult superhero story – and the smartass, blood-soaked Deadpool certainly proved there’s an audience for that. Other Superman and Batman fans are concerned about traditionally family-friendly characters going too dark.
The new Batman himself, Ben Affleck, says he understands both sides. “I’m a parent of young kids, and I feel like I wouldn’t want to have a Batman v Superman that I couldn’t show to my younger kids,” the actor says. “But on the same token, as an adult, I like to see movies that are R-rated. I think nowadays because we have so many means of distribution and ways that we can do different things, it’s the creative solution to a creative challenge.”
He emphasizes that the PG-13 theatrical cut will always be available as an alternative.
“You can have multiple versions and I can show my son and my daughters this movie and feel confident that the stuff isn’t too crazy, and then grownups can see larger version, [which is like] the red-band trailer. They can see the more adult version of that movie.

WHAT’S IN IT

The theatrical cut of BvS runs 2 hours and 31 minutes, which is already an epic length. But following the lead of Peter Jackson’s expanded versions of The Lord of the Rings, Snyder said he thought the Blu-ray and digital download editions of BvS could sustain some bonus material. (They aren’t saying yet how much longer the director’s cut will be.)
“We were just like, ‘Okay, look. We’re not making a three-hour movie. I mean, even I didn’t want to make a three-hour movie,” Snyder says. “I drove the cuts probably harder than anyone. The studio, they were willing to let the movie indulge pretty hard. But I felt like it’s at a manageable two-and-a-half hours. Let’s also not forget the credits are super long, the end credits. So the movie’s closer to two hours and 22 minutes.”
One of the things cut from the theatrical release: A mystery character played by Jena Malone. Fans have been speculating about who she plays for months – and they’ll have to wait a few more before they find out.
“I think we should keep it private, but it’s nothing that’s been talked about,” Snyder says. “She’s definitely not Robin or Batgirl. I’m happy to say that.”
Some of what’s being added to the “Ultimate Edition” counts as a spoiler, so we won’t reveal all of the extra material. Suffice to say, some minor characters in the theatrical cut are given expanded storylines. And a few other actors will join Malone in being rescued from the cutting room floor.




“There’s a couple, like, Ahman Green, the running back from the Green Bay Packers, he’s in it. And C.T. Fletcher is like this bodybuilder muscle-guru from Compton, this awesome guy. He’s amazing, and he’s in it,” Snyder says. “And then there’s just a lot of these Easter Eggs in the Director’s Cut that I think are gonna be fun for everyone.”
Some of the additions are aimed at teasing future movies, like 2017’s Justice League film, which Snyder begins shooting in April. “There’s one giant one that I won’t tell you about yet that speaks to what’s gonna go on in the greater Justice League universe,” he says.




“SEQUENCES OF VIOLENCE”

Back in September, the ratings board gave the shorter version of Batman v Superman a PG-13 for “intense sequences of violence and action throughout, and some sensuality.” The R-rating came with the even more vague designation: “for sequences of violence.”
BvS producer Charles Roven, who also worked on Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy, says the “Ultimate Edition” won’t be gratuitous. “There’s not a lot of blood in our movies,” he says. “The ratings board also judges their PG-13 and R ratings by what they consider to be a level of intensity and how much that intensity goes throughout the entire movie. There are some pretty intense scenes in Batman v Superman, and if they went on longer and had that same level of intensity, that might cause the ratings board to shift their rating.”

We all know the "Superman is batmans b****"" opinion among the general public is sadly gonna get even more popular after the film if that one man to beat you line does show up. It wont matter how much trouble superman gives batman, he even says he could've killed him if he wanted to, but no one is gonna listen.. Just watch lmao

End credit scene confirmed

So, Malone is NOT Robin, or Batgirl: Let the Carrie or Barbara debates rage on!

I want to post a pic i seen on Plastic Enemys Facebook page because it has me thinking but i do not know how to post spoilers. It could just be nothing bt you never know.

I just figured we'd have to wait until next year. I'm certainly not complaining, though.

 

[Jumpman]

Sounds like the theatrical cut is trying to be its own film where it doesn't push the cinematic universe aspect that much whereas the Ultimate Edition sounds like there's just tons more of world building connective tissue to it.

Um. No.

Love how the some are always love to completely ignore the actual character of Superman whenever it comes to facing Batman.

So quick to chastise Superman for killing Zod, but even quicker to jump to 'Superman could just zap Batman's head with his heat vision, if he wanted to.'

[Citadel30]

Maybe they will release the rated R version at a later time in theaters... Talk about double dipping the box office.

 

[Jam2315]

Ill just say go look through their photos of the BvS walk deal in Hong Kong and see what stands out to yall. Ive been keeping up with all the marketing and merchandise and this is the first ive seen this. Like i say though it could just be nothing.

[False Prophet]

If BvS is great, feel free to make a 3 hour JL1 movie, Zack. I won't complain.

Looking at the incredible amount of attention towards world-building in BvS, by the time JL1 comes out the DCEU could be rich enough to warrant LotR levels of runtime, scale and "the signature pedigree of epicness".

I couldn't tell anything that stood out. Only the Batman with gas mask toy that we've seen already. PM me which picture you're talking about.
