She pops up for two scenes, and while Malone looks great with a platinum blonde bob haircut, and appears to even be flirting with Lois in her brief scenes, why Snyder felt the need to cast an actress of Malone’s caliber in such a thankless, nothing part is just another one of this film’s many mysteries.īecause I’m such a masochist, and because I’m committed to bringing you HOT CONTENT™, I’ve provided a detailed list below of all the new scenes included in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: Ultimate Edition. Most assumed that Malone was playing Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl aka Oracle, but in actuality her character is scientist Jenet Klyburn.
Lois’ investigation leads her to cross paths with a character played by Jena Malone, and Malone’s mysterious cut-from-the-theatrical-version character perhaps lead to the most rampant speculation among those tracking the film’s rumors. Lois Lane (Amy Adams) has a slightly bigger part as she investigates and uncovers more and more of Lex’s nefarious doings, and while more of Amy Adams is never a bad thing, the material she’s working with is so dull and un-engaging that it does the film no favors. The biggest difference between the Ultimate Edition and the theatrical cut is that the extent to which Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) goes to turn Batman against Superman is more detailed: Kahina Ziri (Wunmi Mosaku) - the African woman who testifies before Senator Finch (Holly Hunter) about how Superman showed up in her village and possibly murdered everyone - is revealed to have been paid by Lex to give false testimony against Superman. And while the increased runtime adds a few elements here and there, it does not drastically change the film as a whole.
This is still the same movie, just longer. Does the Ultimate Edition fix the problems of the theatrical release? We’ll be posting a more detailed Blu-ray review that addresses that question, but the short answer is: no. Now Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: Ultimate Edition is here - releasing on VOD today before a Blu-ray release July 19.
But perhaps there was still hope - perhaps this longer, darker cut might make sense of the film’s lackluster narrative? This news was met with confusion before folks had a chance to see the theatrical cut, and met with downright disdain after. Mere days before Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice pummeled its way into theaters, director Zack Snyder revealed that there would be a longer (nearly 3 hours!) R-Rated cut of the film for its eventual home video release.
