10 Things You Need To See In Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’s Ultimate Edition

8) The End Is Nigh

As our 10 Most Significant Easter Eggs article showed, the original cut of BvS was full of references to Zack Snyder’s back catalogue. In particular, callbacks to Watchmen (a film similar in tone to BvS) repeatedly cropped up, with several cast members featuring in cameos.

There’s one more Watchmen in-joke to see in the Ultimate Edition, too. In a scene at the run-down Gotham seaport, an old billboard has been defaced with the phrase ‘The End is Nigh.’ This will immediately jump out to Watchmen fans as the message written on the sign that Walter Kovacs (AKA Rorschach) carries around in the film.

Also, in the very same shot, the Ace Chemicals building can be seen in Gotham’s skyline in the background. This is not only a reference to where the Joker is “born” in the comics, but the building’s logo is identical to the one seen in the Batman: Arkham video games.
