And while the warehouse fight hasn’t changed that much from the theatrical cut of Batman V Superman, save for a few additional shots of heightened violence, the Batman fight scene against Lex’s goons still ranks as the best Batman fight scene put to film. Again, this is pretty critical information. She also learns that the wheelchair he was using in the senate hearing was made out of lead, which would have rendered Superman’s x-ray vision null and prevented him from stopping the bomb in advance. L Lois actually gets to do some actually investigating (with the help of Jena Malone’s character, exclusive to this version) and learns that Wallace wasn’t a willing participant in his death that he didn’t commit suicide but was killed off in order to frame Superman. This opening sequence makes a lot more sense and makes the movie’s overall plot more cohesive and logical.Īnother thing that makes more sense is the explanation as to why Superman didn’t see the bomb in Wallace’s wheelchair. Not only that, but we learn that one of the survivors was paid off by Lex to testify that Superman was the culprit. This version shows that the villagers were burned by Anatoli and his goons and considering the Man of Steel has heat vision, definitely makes the crime seem more plausible. In the theatrical cut, mercenaries employed by Lex Luthor shot up a village and blamed Superman for it, which stuck and many fans and critics were confused as to how this would stick as Superman would never use firearms. This version of Batman V Superman also does a better job of explaining why Superman was framed for the events in Africa. Clark feels justified now in having to stop Batman because he’s been told firsthand how scared the citizens of Gotham are of him.
Through Clark’s investigations, he learns that Batman sees himself as a fearmonger and above the law. Likewise, we learn just how much of a death sentence the bat-brand can be from the point of view of the branded’s wife.
The Man of Steel took a backseat in the theatrical cut, but this version shows him investigating Batman much more thoroughly in Gotham, interviewing citizens who fear the Bat. One of the main reasons for this is by giving Henry Cavill’s Clark Kent/Superman a lot more things to do. It adds quite a bit of content and thankfully, everything that was added feels essential to making this movie make more sense. The Ultimate Edition of Batman V Superman is thankfully a much better version than what we got in cinemas.
