Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice wasn’t well received by critics and has divided comic book fans ever since its release, but even the movie’s biggest detractors will no doubt be tempted to check out the upcoming R-Rated Ultimate Cut, which is set to hit Blu-ray next month.
While little is known about what we should expect, it’s thought that this version will be around three hours long and will drop some more hints about what Zack Snyder has planned for Justice League. Whether or not it will end up addressing the many faults people found with the theatrical version obviously remains to be seen, but we’re definitely excited for it.
In the gallery above, you’ll find the covers for the Australian, UK, and US editions of the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice Blu-ray. There’s still no word on deleted scenes (and likely never will be considering the fact that this is an extended cut), but here’s the newly released list of special features with a breakdown of what each of the featurettes are going to focus on. They sound pretty interesting, though nothing jumps out as being particularly significant or revealing.
