Is Warner Bros. Planning on Releasing Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice R - Rated Cut in Cinemas?

It seems that the bad reviews really did a number on Warner Bros.' Batman v Superman.
Now, for as much as one would like to point their finger at critics for bashing the moving and seemingly being out of touch with the material, fans have been pretty divisive about it too and that ultimately hurt the film as the box office numbers kept steadily dropping week to week. The film did manage to stay atop the charts for two weeks running but that was mainly in part because there were no big films to release on that span.

 Given that the film had an astounding opening weekend, many pundits predicted that it would get over the $1 billion line that few films have been able to do. It was safe to assume that this would be the case given how this was an "event film" where not only would Wonder Woman make her first ever appearance on the silver screen, but also the very first time in history that the two most recognizable and most iconic superheroes would share the screen in a live adaptation. Now, the film not only had one the worst box office drop-offs in recent history, but it will apparently fail to reach the coveted $1 billion mark. According to scoop extraordinaire, Humberto Gonzales of Heroic Hollywood, Warner Bros. is rumored to be taking into consideration re-releasing the film as the 3+ hour long R - Rated cut that was promised for the Blu-Ray release ir order to help boost Batman v Superman past that milestone.

There are many points for and against Warner Bros. doing this.
One would be that we could see the film how Zack Snyder envisioned it and it would help alleviate the complaints of people who said they had trouble keeping up with what was going on. It could also shed some light onto some "plot holes" that the film had and make it a more fluent viewing experience.
We could also get to see some of the characters that were cut off from the theatrical feature.

At the same time, people might view this as a poor attempt at damage control from Warner Bros.
Some could say that it is a sleazy cash-grab attempt by the studio.
Or, if the R - Rated cut is the true way to see the film, then why did we get a watered-down, incomplete film to start with.

In the end, I personally think that Warner Bros. should man up and ride the theatrical version until the wheels fall off. Yeah, it's easy for me to say since I do not have any stake in the company and therefore will not suffer any of the loss of confidence from the general audience or even worse, the financial losses that they will.

What do you think of all this?
Would you be willing to shed some of your hard earned money to see an extended cut of a film you already paid to see but two weeks ago?

Fearing the actions of a god-like super-hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis's most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before.

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice - Critics Reviews Could Spell Doomsday For The DCEU

Img: DC/Warner Bros.

This past week, a small number of lucky people got a chance to attend an early screening of DC/Warner Bros. Batman v. Superman: Dawn of justice. And while those fans shared their wild enthusiasm with nothing but positive feedback after the screenings in Mexico City and New York this past week, many critics were waiting for the embargo imposed by Warner Bros. to share their view on the final product by Zack Snyder that is meant to kick off the DC Extended Universe.
And while the film has some good qualities, it is sad to say, the majority of the critics reviews have been pretty harsh. Like almost any film, no matter how perfect it might be, it has its flaws.
Not amongst those though, is the universal praise of Ben Affleck's portrayal as Bruce Wayne/Batman, and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman.

Do not take my word for it though, see for yourself in some of the snippets from reviews from critics all over the country.

Let's start this off with a small sample from several reputable critics from national/international newspapers and entertainment magazines/websites and close off with the closing statements of life-long fan, and whom one could say the authority on everything Batman, Bill "Jett" Ramey.

If you want to read the full reviews you can click on the author's names cited for each quote.

Michael Phillips - Chicago Tribune

"Snyder is not without skills, or ideas, but when a critic finds himself at odds with almost every aspect of a director's visual approach to material like this, material like this becomes pretty joyless. Compare the first big sequence in "Batman v Superman" featuring the Batmobile in action, to the Bat Cycle/semi-trailer truck game of chicken in Nolan's "The Dark Knight." The latter builds beautifully, and shows off the toys and old-fashioned, non-digital effects with serious class. The "Batman v Superman" equivalent is pure, empty noise: fireballs: the usual overdose of insane automatic gunfire: and absolutely no rhythm.

"You don't owe this world a thing," Lane tells Superman at one point. Maybe so,. But at this point in the twinned mythologies of two extremely hardy DC heroes, humankind deserves a better blockbuster."

Stephanie Zacharek - Time

"As superhero spectacles go, Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a grand one, with a mondo-operatic climax and a final shot infused with quivering, exhilarating molecules of grace. It's also not much fun...

But then, fun isn't what we're after when we venture out of the fairly jaunty Marvel Universe and nto the relatively irony-free DC Comics one...

Why, oh why, can't we just get what we came for? That is, a good, meat-and-potatoes showdown between a brooding vigilante in a pointy-eared mask (Ben Affleck's Batman, a.k.a. asocial rich guy Bruce Wayne) and a simpler, sunnier protector of humankind (Henry Cavill's Superman...)

Batman v Superman lunges for greatness instead of building toward it: It's so top heavy with false portent that it buckles under its own weight."

Lou Lumenick - New York Post

"While "300" maestro Snyder puts together some very striking scenes - which may be enough for many fanboys - they never really cohere into a whole. He literally throws in the kitchen sink in a film that frantically introduces characters and concepts while never clearly establishing the rules of the DC Comics universe.

More problematic, even on a comic book level, there is no credible sense of danger like there is in the "Batman" movies directed by Christopher Nolan..."

Matt Goldberg - Collider

"Snyder has mistake 'seriousness' for the absence of joy, but a movie can have heart and even humor while still being serious. Seriousness comes from the stakes, and Batman v Superman bends over backwards to create them and still turns out to be a complete and utter mess that relies on coincidence and senseless actions.

...Batman v Superman is a movie that will have apologists working overtime to explain the constant stream of nonsensical actions.

There's so much movie and so little of it matters."

David Edelstein - New York Magazine / Vulture

"With Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the movie division of DC Entertainment and the parent studio, Warner Bros., have given the fanboys and the Nolanoids what they crave - and lo, it is impressive and, lo, it is godawful.*

It's a shame that Batman v Superman is also a storytelling disgrace. It has maybe six opening scenes and jumps so incessantly from subplot to subplot that a script doctor would diagnose a peculiarly modern infection: "disjunctivitis."

There's enough going on to keep you watching - and, as I said, to keep fanboys wowed by the scale of the production and pretension."

Jonathan Hatfull - Scifinow

"There's a lot that works well, but there's plenty that doesn't, and the bulk of its failures are in the plotting and tone. It's obvious that Snyder, Terrio and Goyer are well aware of the pitfalls, and do their best to avoid them, but in doing so they create entirely new problems.

The film is so determined to keep us grounded in the nearly real reality of Man of Steel that it feels afraid of the capital CB Comic Book stuff it's going to have to put it.

If you're getting the impression that the film is a mixed bag, you're exactly right.

It is intermittenly rewarding, but ultimately a bit dissapointing."

Ty Burr - Boston Globe

"The film's problems include a script, by David S. Goyer (of the "Dark Knight" series) and Chris Terrio ("Argo"), that hits a few real-world hot buttons for relevance before devolving into absurd dream sequences, mommy issues, and over-plotted mayhem.

The story's parts never quite fit together, and Snyder still has difficulty directing an action sequence with logic and flow."

Chris Nashawaty - Entertainment Weekly

"I get this mano a supermano story line is a sacred text among comic-book aficionados, but Dawn of Justice doesn't do the tale any favors. It's overstuffed, confusing, and seriously crippled by Eisengerg's over-the-top performance.

Dawn of Justice starts off as an intriguing meditation about two superheroes turning to an all-too-human emotion: hatred out of fear of the unknown. Two and a half hours later it winds up somewhere very far from that..."

Peter Sciretta - Slashfilm

"...film is a bit of a mess.

...it lacks the moments of wonder that made past Superman films uplifting and fun.

Too much of Batman v Superman's story is convoluted, and too many of the actios taken by characters seem to serve the plot but make no sense for the characters themselves.

It almos seems like the filmmakers needed a certain object and a certain person in a certain location and could not come up with a belieble explanation of how to get them there. The actions of the character serve only to lead them to where they are needed for the plot's purposes, and nothing more."

Devin Faraci - Birth Movies Death

"It's almost crazy how flimsy and poorly constructed the first hour of the film is.

The movie hops around from Batman to Superman to Lex Luthor to Lois Lane willy nilly, with no regard for the pacing or with building any kind of momentum.

This lack of structure makes the entire first half of the film feel like a bloated montage; everything is disjointed, nothing is clearly connected to anything else.

Half the film feels like deleted scenes that were added back for no reason."

Cassam Looch - Metro

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a flawed film. It has some great moments, but also fails to live up to the lofty standards of the best films in the crowded superhero genre."

Alex Abad-Santos - Vox

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Bros.'s most anticipated superhero slugfest in history, is not great. The goodwill that Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale, and the late Heath Ledger fostered in the studio's Dark Knight trilogy feels like a relic from eons ago.

In their place is a stink bucket of dissappointment, a sad and unnecessary PG-13 orphan fight that director Zach Snyder beliebes is an homage to DC Comics' most iconic heroes but is more along the lines of a home invasion perpetrated on comic book cultre..."

"You cannot convince me that Batman v Superman is anything more than a stupidly beautiful, hollow movie. It's characters ae miscalculated - Batman isn't analytical, Superman is too grim and joyless, and Lex Luthor is just junk. Meanwhile, Snyder doesn't explore the heavy-handed themes he presents."

Matt Maytum - Games Radar

"...what's perhaps most surprising is that BVS is at its best when its heroes are apart. When it comes to the clash itself, there's an inescapable feeling of anti-climax. Not only does the animosity between the pair never feel fully earned, but the eventual bout doesn't quite justify the pre-release hype, or make the most of its historical significance.

... there are some spectacular clobberings dispensed, but it doesn't feel like, as Lex pitches it, 'the greatest gladiator battle in the history of the world'. "

Bill "Jett" Ramey - Batman-on-Film

"While I enjoyed chunks of this film, there are as many that just didn't resonate with me. Some story threads went on too long and some were resolved too quickly. The CGI was annoying and or distracting at time (i.e. Doomsday). I'm honestly struggling to pin a specific letter grade for this film. In fact, I might not place one on this movie (but if I didm it wouldn't be an F, D or A).

BATMAN v SUPERMAN was OK... but i wanted to love it. I wanted it to blow me away and move me emotionally. It did not."

Tom Butler of Yahoo! Movies had the chance to interview the cast and directior of the film while they were out in the UK promoting the film and ask them for their take regarding the bad reviews from critics.

The last part of the original video has Amy Adams, who plays Lois Lane in the film, making the following statement: "I know that Zack (Snyder) doesn't make the movies, or none of us, are making the movies for the critics. You can't go into it with that perspective. I know we really hope the fans like it and so far the reaction has been really positive on that front. If you're interested in a film you should see it and form your own opinion rather than just going on the word of somebody."

I might be very ignorant but, what does that even mean?
In a way,critics are fans, and fans are critics. For one, if I as a fan, do not happen to like the film, am I supposed to not say anything bad about it to my friends or relatives? Am I supposed to bite my tongue and keep quiet? Should I lie instead and let them waste their time and money on a product that is subpar?
Yes, I know what you're thinking, what I might not find entertaining or up to par doesn't necessarily mean that someone else will share that point of view.
Certain people might actually even love the film and go as far as to claim that it could be the greatest CBM of all time.
But when a product is having bad reviews almost unanimously, I or anyone else for that matter will have reservations about said product.

Batman v Superman is currently sitting at a 30% rating from critics and a 73% audience score on rottentomatoes.com.
Metacritic.com has the film scored at a 44 while it boasts a 7.3 user score.

With that being said, as of the time of this writing, Batman v Superman is doing very well at the box office. Thursday night's early preview recorded a $27.7 million intake, while Friday's official wide release saw it collect an estimated $82 million from 4,242 theaters.
International box office revenue isn't too shabby either as it has made $44 million on that front.
It is projected to end it's opening week with a massive haul of $170+ million at the domestic box office.

New Images For Batman v. Superman Are Starting To Leak! Possible Major Spoilers Ahead.

Image: EW / DC/Warner Bros.

With Batman v. Superman's premiere date right around the corner, new details and images are starting to emerge. The latest is that of a set of pictures that could or could not be potential spoilers, it all depends on the context in which it will be used in the film. And we'll get into that in a bit.

From what we have been getting and the arc that the film is taking inspiration from, this iteration of Batman will be that of a seasoned vigilante who is not above putting a real hurting unto his opponents. His new methods of fighting crime and those whom he perceives as being a danger to the well-being of his city are even viewed by some as a "brand of terror".
The results cannot be argued since the crime in Gotham City are said to be at an all-time low, therefore, he seems content on employing every trick in the book available to him. And he will need all those tricks and every single one of his gadgets when he takes on The Man of Steel.
The first picture we have is that of the fight between The Dark Knight and Superman which seems to be an all-out war that will leave him battered regardless of his  armored suit.

Funeral for a Friend?!

The second picture is that of Bruce Wayne at a funeral with a very somber look on his face. Next to him is none other than Diana Prince.

Given what we know from information that has been revealed in interviews by the cast, crew and people that have gotten inside access, along with some footage from the trailers, Diana Prince (Wonder Woman's alter ego) is a new resident of Metropolis and thus is not on a real friendly stage with either of the titular superheroes. Which begs the question, "who do Diana and Bruce have in common as to be saddened by the loss of that person?" A more intriguing and reasonable question would be, who do Wonder Woman and Batman have in common? Well, how about Superman?

With The Dark Knight going all out in trying to take The Man of Steel down and Lex Luthor trying near the impossible to "neutralize" him, for lack of a better word, could Superman's downfall be out of the question? An image from a private screening reveals an out for the count Superman.

This image from a private screening shows that Superman, in fact, does bleed.

The man or being responsible could be up for debate but if we were to go by comic lore, it will point directly at Doomsday. Doomsday who in this case is created by Lex Luthor from the remains of General Zod (Michael Shannon) to destroy Superman, could very well be the one who does the deed as his calling card to fame was that on his very first appearance was able to match Superman blow by blow in the 1992 story arc, Death of Superman.

A couple of weeks back, EW reporter, Anthony Breznican, who has seen the film and made a series of articles with the actors and Zack Snyder in order to get a better grasp as to what sets the heroes off on a collision course, shared some opinions/views pertaining to the film.

I gotta go write, but last things I'll say about seeing #BatmanvSuperman. (Personally, I was happy.) pic.twitter.com/tAkmYVDJti

Number five could very well reference the scene that concludes with Superman on the floor incapacitated.

There are a couple of different reports/theories/rumors mainly from people who claim to have seen the film and some fan theories as to what actually happened that led to this picture of Superman.
One is that towards the end, while the Trinity are fighting an out of control Doomsday Superman sacrifices himself in an attempt to stop/kill Doomsday.

The second of those, according to some people  will not be the outcome of the battle between Superman and Doomsday but instead is a scenario that occurs in the often mentioned and confirmed Batman: Knightmare scene.
We have seen parts of the Batman: Knightmare sequence in the trailers already in which The Dark Knight fights soldiers who are sporting the insignia of Superman on their uniforms. Along with that, there was a horde of parademons in attack mode.
Some reports claim that Darkseid is the one to deliver the fatal blow. In this "knightmare", besides the parademons hinting at Darkseid,his "calling card", the Omega symbol is also featured in a shot of what appears to be a destroyed Metropolis.

What do you guys think? Will Superman really bite the dust when it is all said and done or could this be a "knightmare" induced vision?

Following the events of Man of Steel, Gotham City-based vigilante Batman travels to Metropolis to preemptively combat Superman, while another threat endangers humankind.

Batman v. Superman Supercut Trailer v.4

Image: DC/Warner Bros.

Over the past week, small pieces of new footage for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice has popped up either on foreign commercials or local talk shows. Although that footage on it's own might not seem like a big deal, when stitched together with the rest of the footage it makes for an extraordinarly and exciting Supercut Trailer that I am sure most of you will enjoy.

A couple of weeks back, Flickering Myth decided to make a compilation of all the footage in an educated chronological order. This time however, YouTube user M1llion has gathered some of the newest released snippets and made his own updated edit.
Give it a look.

Footage: DC/Warner Bros. - Edit: M1llion

It seems that now more than ever, film studios have fallen prey to an unfortunate trend of showing some of their best set pieces, jokes or surprise twists in the trailers that promote their blockbuster movies.
What is that you say? "Trailers are supposed to show awesome, interesting content from the film to peak the general public's curiosity and get them interested!"
Well yes, you do have a point, but would you still be interested when by mistake a character or the plot is given away in a trailer? Sometimes those things happen, not because the director or the people behind the film wanted to, but because it regrettably was out of their hands. Studios from time to time hire outside companies to cut and throw together an intriguing and awesome trailer to gather momentum for when the film premieres. Unfortunately, communication between the studios, directors, producers and the likes is sometimes lacking, either because the work on the film is still ongoing or some other important issues that have to be resolved. Either way, it is a terrible thing when that happens for both, the fans and the people working day and night trying to make a film that would please fans and keep their business running. In the meantime, if you do not care for spoilers than all the power to you and let us delve into this amazing period where superheroes are brought to life and grace the silver screen like never before.

So far, I personally do not know how much of the movie has been given away with all the trailers released since the film will have a runtime of 2 hours and 30 minutes. Eleven minutes of trailers surely does not seem like a big deal but when it is compiled into a trailer and all the pieces connect somewhat flawlessly it does make you think, "did i already see the whole movie, or are the best parts still to come?"

Batman v. Superman is set to premiere on March 25, 2016 in North America and will have a running time of two hours and thirty one minutes (2h 31mins) along with a PG-13 rating.

Batman v. Superman Final Trailer

With just a little over a month to go before Batman v. Superman premieres, Warner Brothers has released the final trailer and let me just say, wow!

The trailer shows a more hands on Alfred, assisting and guiding the Caped Crusader a la Jarvis. After helping him infiltrate the room, in what looks almost like a scene taken straight out of Rocksteady's Arkham video games series, Batman jumps into action and goes to work on a group of armed thugs who prove that even with massive fire power are no match for The Batman. The fight scene depicts a more ruthless, no holds-barred Dark Knight doing whatever it takes to keep his city safe of criminals or any threats, which in turn leads to a statement he makes to Alfred and we see his views on Superman.

Along with Batman's skills and some scenes pertaining to his and Superman's face off, we get a glimpse of Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman jumping into action. Neverless, take a look for yourself and witness the final trailer before The Dark Knight and The Man of Steel finally meet for the first time in live cinematic history.
