Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
A leaked IMAX prospect fromBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justicesuggests that the Ultimate Edition was originally set for a theatrical release . Even before the theatrical introduction of DCEU ’s showdown between their two most iconic characters , a longer , R - rated cutting off of the plastic film had been classified , anticipate a deeper experience for fans down the line .
The Ultimate Edition finally came package with the Blu - ray and added an special 30 minutes to the film , including deleted scenes and extension service of certain beats . While still incredibly factious - it ’s the same groundwork cinema , Martha and all - it ’s overall deliberate a good rendering of the motion-picture show , fill in several narration gaps and providing a clearer bow for Superman in the first one-half . It now come out , however , that Warner Bros. originally had bigger plans than just a home video extra .
An IMAX version of the Ultimate Edition ’s Knightmare sequence has emerge online , which you may check below . you could see the squarer IMAX framing in the video , which present a greater scope of the Darkseid - ravage world and can beverified by the video ’s poster . This , however , is interesting as there would be no pauperization to make an IMAX version of the go footage unless there were plan to screen it in the format in cinemas , implying that at one point Warner Bros. were plan to have a re - release that took in the premium format .
The Knightmare sequencehas Bruce Wayne mentally time travel to a desolate future where Superman break away around violent and unchecked , a vision / dreaming / other that ’s the event of The Flash making a misjudged sentence jump . The scene is mostly unchanged in the Ultimate Edition , but there are a few noticeable moments that give it aside and can be interpret in IMAX ratio in the above clip ; shots show the convoy ’s entrance into Batman ’s chemical compound and the armed guard inside the schooltime bus .
Technically Dawn of Justice got asmall theatrical handout for lucky fansthe week before the Blu - irradiation came out , but none of the showing were in IMAX , meaning this time wo n’t have come from the work done for those events . Even if it was just a trial run , it nevertheless suggests there was once the whimsy of putting the longerDawn of Justiceon the big screen .
It would seem likely that the original design was to put the Ultimate Edition in picture palace afterBvShad wrapped up its initial ravel but before it arrived on home telecasting , earmark audience to revisit the film . This is a tactic used by several big departure - double in the case ofAvatar- and would excuse why so much effort was put into the director ’s cutting and why it was classified so ahead of time .
Obviously , this never come to pass . Why is unclear at this point but it belike has something to do withthe motion picture ’s overall negative critical reactionseeing it quickly become regarded as one of the worst film of 2016 . A high visibility re - button is only going to result in more bad publicity , whereas a " for the fans " home video selection keeps it pore on those who wish the movie . We ’re improbable to get official word from Warner Bros. but will keep you updated on any more IMAX footage that surfaces .
Update : The IMAX ending ofBvS ' Ultimate Edition has now also appeared on-line , which you’re able to watch in its 13 - minute aura below .
