March 4, 2016: Details on R-Rated Ultimate Edition of "Batman v Superman" on Blu-ray

Batman v Superman Late last month the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) issued a bulletin announced that an R-rated version of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is to be released as an "Ultimate Edition" by Warner Home Entertainment.

Entertainment Weekly provides some extra details on what exactly will be included in the Ultimate Edition:

    Some of what's being added to the "Ultimate Edition" counts as a spoiler, so we won't reveal all of the extra material. Suffice to say, some minor characters in the theatrical cut are given expanded storylines. And a few other actors will join Malone in being rescued from the cutting room floor.

    "There's a couple, like, Ahman Green, the running back from the Green Bay Packers, he's in it. And C.T. Fletcher is like this bodybuilder muscle-guru from Compton, this awesome guy. He's amazing, and he's in it," Snyder says. "And then there's just a lot of these Easter Eggs in the Director's Cut that I think are gonna be fun for everyone."

    Some of the additions are aimed at teasing future movies, like 2017's Justice League film, which Snyder begins shooting in April. "There's one giant one that I won't tell you about yet that speaks to what's gonna go on in the greater Justice League universe," he says.
