Guys, dont shitpost, these boards are filled with cape shitposting and no one actually talks about shit.
So yeah, that out of the way, I liked the theatrical cut better with some few exceptions that the extended one did better like Clark Kent going around town investigating Batman, the alien at the end and the extended dialog in jail.
The rest of the added scenes just weakened the point that Superman was just a man (something that is pivotal during the combat between him and Batman).
>Superman couldnt see the bomb because of lead
This just re-enforces the point that Superman is incapable of making mistakes and makes him void of any responsability, it was better when he didnt saw the bomb because he didnt take a good look at the cripple, a victim of his combat, due to shame. Makes even more sense with the line "... because I wasnt looking".
>all the bad in the african village was because of Lex Luthor after all
this is something that maybe I got it wrong in the theatrical cut, I thought that the whole rape and killing was in a different village since where Superman was looked like just a camp for militia. I thought that because he killed some warlord (and most of his men died), other villages were targeted by different militias, basicly Superman messed up something very fragile and there was a consequence for it out of his control (justifying the "when should Superman act" part of the movie) So yeah, this version just screams "Superman did nothing wrong" while trying to explain every detail even if it was unnecessary (like the bomb)
So yeah, now I wanna hear from you guys because on other places people seem to like it and enjoy these scenes that are there just to explain stuff.
>my wholely wrong interpretation of these scenes is better than the truth
You're an idiot. Kill yourself.

It was obvious in the Theatrical cut that Luthor was involved in the desert too. Lois discussed it with Swanwick and you can infer that because it was Anatoly.
Bentley Peterson
There's a few things that confused me a little.
How did Lex know that Supes couldn't see through led? And Batman knew this as well, for some reason. He also knew that his hearing was so sensitive that 50,000 hz at 300 db would be painful to him. I'm not sure how this info came about or if it was a lucky guess, but it bugged me that both came to the conclusion that his vision was based on X rays and his hearing was amazingly sensitive, given there's no way they'd know that.
Ethan Sanders
MARTHA? WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME, THAT WAS MOMMYS NAME
Noah King
In the theatrical cut it just plain made no sense that people would blame Superman for the deaths in Africa, but it still doesn't make sense here. Why would people blame Superman just because the rebels were burnt? >Forensic analysis would show that a flame thrower did it, not Superman's heat vision >Forensics would also show that the men were killed by BULLETS >Lois' testimony would reveal that the bullets were shot BEFORE Superman arrived, and that there were a bunch of white mercenaries there that mysteriously vanished just before Superman's arrival
It's just dumb
Chase Perry
It's been 2 years between Man of Steel and BvS.
fill in the blanks, fucktards.
Ryder Cruz
>How did Lex know that Supes couldn't see through led? That one's easy. Superman uses X-Rays, everyone knows that X-Rays can't go through lead.
Owen Davis
How lex and Bruce know that, though?
You could argue that Lex found out by going through his school records, but Bruce didn't know about his childhood on earth
Landon Campbell
I knew that he was involved in the camp, but I thought that the women was from a nearby village that was attacked as payback for the attack from Superman, she talks screams and orther stuff, none of that was in the combat, shown.
Chase Cruz
I imagine Lex and Bruce got hold of the write up from his detainment in MoS, where it was shown that he could look and hear through thick walls, when talking to the commander
Robert Clark
Plus, Superman's heat vision would cut them into pieces, their corpses wouldn't be intact like that. And it would certainly be suspicious that all the corpses are gathered in a single pile and smell like kerosene. Lex' plan was sloppy and only worked because everyone was just as stupid as him.
Evan Foster
I think you're giving a bit too much credit to what the general public knows about superman.
They seem to just think he's a god like figure, they aren't privy to the details we as viewers are
Aaron Green
So people (and the Government who should know better) would think that Superman flew down, shot them with bullets, gathered them into a pile, then burned them with a flamethrower instead of using his heat vision and let a bunch of mercenaries just leave?
Joshua James
Do the people know that he wouldn't..?
Sebastian Thomas
>Batman fights Supes, the movie, extended cut. >3 hours and 2 minutes total. 54 minutes in, Bruce Wayne meets Clark Kent at a cocktail party. >it took nearly one hour for the title characters to be on screen together.
There is really just one fight scene at the end. It is an x vs y movie. Just fast forward to when x fights y.
Christopher Torres
They would wonder why Superman would go to all that trouble instead of just punching them or lasering them to death
James Perez
It's the latin "V", I believe, which means "go with" or something. Snyder mentioned in an interview he chose it instead of versus so the conclusion of the film changed the meaning of the title
Gabriel Baker
Do the general public know much detail about his abilities though, is my point. Since the general public seem to associate him with super strength, flight and invulnerability, I'd argue that they don't know about the ins and outs of his heat vision, or how he accomplishes what he does.
Aiden Hughes
>Since the general public seem to associate him with super strength, flight and invulnerability Which means they would find it odd that Superman supposedly shot a bunch of people to death with special bullets.
Julian Mitchell
I haven't watched the film since release, was the bullets thing made public?
Jordan Wright
But do they know he wouldn't do anything like that? They don't know much about Supes, even the government seem to know very little about him, given the way the senate meeting comes about.
Jose Anderson
Even if it wasn't, the Senate subcommittee would certainly be informed of the autopsy reports.
Matthew Fisher
Superman had been active for over 18 months. He never uses guns, so it would be pretty weird for him to suddenly use them for no reason when he can just punch and laser things like he always does.
Chase Roberts
Wasn't the senate hearing about Supes general actions and not the Africa thing?
The Africa thing seemingly was painting a smear campaign
Hudson Nelson
Subtle > BvS was good meme Thread
Jackson Morris
Good post OP, I agree with you, the extended cut explains to much. I didn't care much for the Negress plot line as well, it just didn't add much for me.
Brayden Nguyen
>my wholly wrong interpretation
It's not wrong if you go of the theatrical cut.
Dylan Thomas
The Senate thing was a reaction to the 18 Months of "controversial" shit Superman was doing, which was brought about due to a growing public split and the smear campaign, in order for Superman to clear his name.
It wasn't about the Africa slaughtering
Eli Gomez
>implying sub 80 IQ nigs would know this
David Hernandez
People believe what the media tells them
Charles Powell
But Lois Lane is part of the media, how come she never makes any statements or gets the Daily Planet to do a front page explaining things?
Ian Williams
Because of Perry
Dominic Myers
>Mr. White, we can get the scoop on all the other papers and news stations and explain what actually happened and why blaming Superman makes no sense using simple log- >Who the fuck cares, we got football and library inaugurations to cover.
Jackson Brown
He pretty much says this tho
Colton Allen
>this user doesn't care about library inauguration >library inaugurations?
Wew lad, it's like you don't even like books.
Jaxson Edwards
That's my point, Perry White is an idiot. One of his star reporters is the witness to a major event and he does nothing with it. Even J. Jonah Jameson is a better publisher.
Hudson Perry
She tried to. And was in the midst of the investigation before Perry told her to drop it
Charles Hill
Which again, shows that Perry White is an idiot. Lois didn't even need to do an investigation, she could have just written an article based on what she knew >Terrorists were killed by bullets, not super punches or lasers like the leader was >Superman arrived after the bullets were shot >A bunch of mercenaries were there, then were gone >Corpses were burnt by a flamethrower, not by heat vision (which doesn't even work that way) >Also, the CIA was there, though that has nothing to do with Superman I guess
Daniel Flores
It would be dismissed as damage control, that's why she investigated and gave the info to that army guy
