4) Jon Stewart Cameo
As you might have heard, political commentator Jon Stewart pops up for a short cameo in the Ultimate Edition. In amongst the televised debates about Superman, Stewart gives his own critique of the hero:
“So apparently Superman doesn’t want us to think of him as American anymore and, really, why would we? I mean, aside from the red and blue costume and the fact he has one third of the USA’s initials on his chest. I assume the only reason he’s not wearing the Declaration Of Independence as a cape is he thinks it’s too on the nose.”
Ostensibly the reason this was cut from the theatrical release was because, by the time of release, Stewart had left The Daily Show, immediately dating the movie. Another reason might be that it makes absolutely no sense. The clip is from an old show when Stewart commented on how Superman rejected America in the comics – an event that doesn’t happen anywhere in BvS.
