Fearing that the actions of Superman are left unchecked, Batman takes on the Man of Steel, while the world wrestles with what kind of a hero it really needs.
The general public is concerned over having Superman on their planet and letting the "Dark Knight" - Batman - pursue the streets of Gotham. While this is happening, a power-phobic Batman tries to attack Superman. Meanwhile, Superman tries to settle on a decision, and Lex Luthor, the criminal mastermind and millionaire, tries to use his own advantages to fight the "Man of Steel".Written by

Goofs
The immediate aftermath of Jimmy Olsen's shooting in Africa is shown through a video feed from an airborne camera, presumably from a UAV. The latitude & longitude of the UAV and where its camera is pointed are shown on the upper and lower right of the video feed. Both coordinates are nowhere near Africa, although they are in the vicinity of Creech Air Force Base in Nevada (a major hub for UAV operations). See more »

Batman:
There was a time above... a time before... there were perfect things... diamond absolutes. But things fall... things on earth. And what falls... is fallen. In the dream, it took me to the light. A beautiful lie.

Listen I'm with most of you. I was a huge DC fan and was beyond excited to see this movie in the theaters. But upon seeing the theatrical version I was disappointed. It had the looks of a great superhero movie but real substance was nowhere to be found. There wasn't enough back story for casual fans to understand what was going on, so not a lot of people could really enjoy it. But luckily they released the extended version. While it makes the movie longer, it explains so much and helps keep fans who aren't that familiar with the DC universe keep up with the flow of the movie. With the release of the extended version hopefully people will give the movie another shot. As a DC fan I'm biased but I promise it is better than theatrical version.
