    • Trivia
      In an interview on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (2009), Ben Affleck said he was warned by Warner Bros. about the possible negative reaction to his casting, and was advised to remain off the Internet after the casting announcement. He also said, to assuage his concerns, the studio showed him negative comments that fans had initially made to previous superhero castings. Affleck said in spite of the studio warnings, he still checked out an online message board. The first comment he read was, "Affleck as Batman? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" After seeing that, he immediately went offline.
    • Goofs
      When Superman and Batman are fighting, Batman releases a smoke bomb. Superman could use his X-ray vision to follow Batman's movements, but he looks surprised when he goes through the smoke and Batman is gone. In fact, these bombs contain lead which disrupts Superman's vision. When Batman is preparing his bombs in the Batcave, a chemical formula is written on each bomb, the letters "Pb" are present (symbol of lead).
    • Quotes

      Bruce Wayne: We're criminals, Alfred. We've always been criminals. Nothing's changed.

      Alfred: Oh, yes it has, sir. Everything's changed. Men fall from the sky, the gods hurl thunderbolts, innocents die. That's how it starts, sir. The fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men... cruel.

    Different take on to CBM
    Some people just hate this because of they think there is only one way to make a cbm. But this ultimate cut prove us there are many ways, many styles. Way better than theatrical cut. Well explained. Story was so clear, its amazing how they show us superman's perspective, batman's perspective and society's perspective on each other in a one movie. I really love this movie. BvS UE is one of thw best cbm to me.

    FAQ5

    • Who created the character of Batman? Bob Kane is listed in old (pre-2015) media including the comic books as creating Batman on his own but new media (made after 2015) shows him as co-creating the character with someone called Bill Finger, so what's all that about?
    • Whose handwriting is on the newspaper clippings sent to Bruce Wayne?
    • What is the meaning behind Batman's dreams/nightmares?
