Synopsis

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

The 151 minutes that premiered on March 25, 2016. It's the tightest version, with Lois' investigation in Nairomi and much of Lex's plot reduced to the bone. A lot of complaints about a broken script came from here.

It's 182 minutes, about half an hour longer, rated R. It came out on digital on June 28, 2016 and on Blu-ray on July 19. What comes back is precisely what was missing: Lois' investigation into Nairomi's bullet and the trail that connects Lex to the massacre, in addition to the violence that PG-13 had covered. In Brazil it appears as an Extended Version and on HBO Max in the United States as the Ultimate Edition.

The numbers nobody talks about

130

Promotional partners around the world

Three years after Man of Steel, Warner broke its own house record: 130 partners worldwide, compared to around 100 in the first film. The most unlikely case on the list is Turkish Airlines, which had never worked with a Hollywood studio, paid for a Super Bowl commercial and bought TV, print, outdoor and digital in more than 40 markets. Doritos and Chrysler ran a global campaign, and the Jeep Renegade got a commercial featuring Ben Affleck dressed as Bruce Wayne.

CONFIRMED

US$ 46.4M

The American piece of the campaign

THR measured, with data from iSpot.tv, how much the campaign cost in the United States alone. It made about $28 million in national TV space, with 20 versions of the trailer shown 2,991 times since January 9, more than Star Wars: The Force Awakens had done. Adding the five co-branded commercials for Jeep, Dodge, General Mills and Turkish Airlines, which were worth US$18.5 million, and the toy ads, with another US$3.2 million, comes to US$46.4 million.

There is no public figure for how much the 130 partnerships in the world were worth. Warner sources told THR about US$150 to 160 million for the worldwide campaign, without official confirmation from the studio.

US$ 105.7M

The profit that Deadline calculated

In the 2016 Deadline tournament, Batman vs Superman appeared in 13th place among the most profitable films of the year, with US$105.7 million in net profit for Warner and a 1.18 return on cash. The model worked with a budget of US$260 million, opening of US$166 million and US$873 million in worldwide gross, US$95 million from China alone.

CONFIRMED

US$ 250M to 325M

The budget has three versions

Box Office Mojo's record says US$250 million budget and US$874.4 million at the global box office, with an opening of US$166 million in the United States. THR's own report warns that this US$250 million is already net of tax incentives and that sources spoke of US$325 million in gross cost. Deadline, in its profit model, used $260 million.

There are three numbers for the same film, and each one measures something different. None of them is true alone.
