Why would you be pitching a (presumably better and more comprehensive) version of your movie before the first version is even released? And what are you doing conceptually that this version would be rated R? And in retrospect, it seems like the studio already knew that going in, hence the announcement of a director’s cut mere weeks before the film’s release. Superman: Dawn of Justice was a joyless, ponderous mess of a film. The last thing I expected was to be bored. So I set my sights a little bit lower, and primed myself for a gloriously insane disaster. But given everything we know about how studios operate, that seemed… rather unlikely. Superman at the 2013 Comic Con, just a couple of months after Man Of Steel’s mixed reception… well, the story goes that that decision was literally made about ten minutes before the presenters took the stage.Īgain: it may not actually be true, but that sensation you’re currently experiencing of a puzzle clicking into place… well, that kind of says it all, doesn’t it?Īs an eternal optimist, I had hoped that Warner Bros ambitious plan to pull a reverse Marvel and spin a bunch of properties off from their next film would actually work. But the story went that when they announced a (‘Dawn of Justice’ subheading-free) Batman V.
So there was a story going around, and it’s possible that it was apocryphal.
