Warner Bros. Pictures will release an extended cut of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as a blu-ray combo pack. The trailer for the “ultimate edition” (embedded above) offers glimpses of Henry Cavill as Superman (a.k.a. Clark Kent), Ben Affleck as Batman (a.k.a. Bruce Wayne), and Amy Adams as Lois Lane.
According to Collider, this version features 30 additional minutes of footage. The added scenes transformed it into a R-rated movie whereas the theatrical cut received a PG-13 rating.
Here’s more from The Hollywood Reporter: “The year’s first big superhero slugfest is about to begin again, but this time things might look a little different…While the debut of Jena Malone’s character — missing entirely from the version of the movie that was shown in theaters — is what’s likely to catch most people’s attention, it’s telling that the trailer seems to suggest that at least part of the restored footage will focus on a thread of the movie that was genuinely under-served in the original release: Lois Lane’s investigations into the events of the opening of the movie, which saw Superman framed for the murder of terrorists in the Middle East.” (via ScreenCrush)
