VOTD: ‘Batman V Superman’ Opening Scene Edited Together With The ‘Man Of Steel’ Final Battle
The first 10 minutes ofBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice(and the Ultimate Edition) is a flashback where Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) rushes into Metropolis to help save as many people as he can. The sequence takes us back to the climax ofMan of Steelwhere the world engine is dispatched with, but Superman (Henry Cavill) and General Zod (Michael Shannon) have it out one last time, destroying much of the city in the process. However,Batman v Supermanonly gives us Bruce Wayne’s perspective while Man of Steel focuses on Superman. But one fan has fixed that.
A new video put together by a fan takes footage from both theBatman v Supermanopening scene and theMan of Steelclimax and combines them into a singular scene where we get the perspective of both of our heroes during this destructive action sequence. Watch theBatman v SupermanandMan of Steelmash-up after the jump.
The Film Guy put this together (in case you didn’t notice the watermark), but the credit goes to director Zack Snyder for creating the extremely seamless continuity between the scenes from the climax ofMan of Steelwith this opening scene fromBatman v Superman. Even the way General Zod’s laser vision flashes around the building matches up perfectly, something fans noticed when part of theBatman v Supermanfootage was included in one of the earlier trailers for the film.
As someone who didn’t loveBatman v Superman, I have to say that the opening sequence of the film is one of my favorite parts. It makes for the perfect introduction to Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, and is a great way to set up his angry Batman for the rest of the movie. It’ll be interesting to see howJustice Leagueevolves from what we saw inBatman v Supermanknowing what we know fromthe set visitfrom not too long ago.
