![]() ![]() You take that rule too far, and you get Civil War-like inconsequential tickle-fights. But I'm not going to close my mind to Batman resorting to eliminating dangerous criminals, just the way I didn't have any issue with Iron Man shooting terrorists in the face in the first Iron Man film. Sure, I loved the Nolan films as well, with the 'Batman doesn't kill' rule in place, and that added another layer of complexity to the character. To think of it logically, Batman leaves most criminals in a near-death situation in almost all his fights, so are you telling me that none of those guys end up dead in hospitals or alleyways? To be honest, this takes Batman right to his original gun-toting days of being a merciless crime fighter, which was later diluted with the 'no kill' rule, primarily to prolong the existence of comic villains. ![]() I hope there's a little more added to that scene in the Ultimate Edition to make it seem less goofy, but if not, it's not a big loss. And it was Lois who immediately jumped in to save Superman, which is a part that a lot of people tend to overlook. You will stop fighting and have a pretty similar reaction to what Batman had. Hey, if anyone calls out your mom's name in the middle of a fight, it will startle you. But then, there are other layers to some of the other so-called weak points that, in my opinion were a bit blown out of proportion. Superman's death, Batman's paranoia, Lex Luthor's true motive - these were all unjustified in the movie, which made me, along with a lot of other fans pretty upset. You can't take away the fact that a lot of the movie's core plot points were weak to begin with. We may even get some more conversations that will shed more light into the plot. So we can expect a bit more out of scenes like the African encounter, plot explanations on how Jimmy Olsen was a CIA agent, or why Lex Luthor is a better detective than Batman, with more intelligence on the other meta humans (along with appropriate logos). A lot of the character building elements that had to be snipped out of the theatrical release are added back in. For those who don't know, the Ultimate Edition comes with 30 minutes of additional footage added to the original movie, which was two and a half hours long, making a total watch of three hours. ![]()
