So when it comes to Zack Snyder, he broke into the film industry making tight, entertaining films. Dawn of The Dead and 300 are rapid fire and entertaining, earning him a chance to make Watchmen and Man of Steel. The big difference between those films and his beginnings is how long they are. Man of Steel is 2 hours and 28 minutes, while Watchmen was a little over 2 1/2 hours.
The same has been confirmed for Batman V Superman, clocking in around the same area at 2 hours and 31 minutes. Not only does it confirm some of the rumors surrounding the pacing of the film and also confirms that you might want to wear your diaper to the screening.
It’s not a shock the film will be this long, especially considering all the things that are being stuffed in the film. In fact, the real news here should be that the film isn’t 3 hours or longer. There’s a real possibility that a director’s cut of this film could rival the Watchmen ultimate edition that hit Blu Ray at 3 1/2 hours. Just look at what we’ve seen to this point being tossed into the film:
* Batman fighting Superman.
* Batman fighting criminals
* Batman fever dream
* Batman looking back on tragedy
* Thomas Wayne snuff film
* Superman tub sex
* Wonder Woman party appearance
* Barry Allen cameo
* Aquaman somewhere in there
* Superman trial
* Superman confronting Batman
* Doomsday creation
* Doomsday fight
* Alfred lecture
* Perry White lecture
* Cyborg cameo
* Fondue party
The last one might be speculation, but I have a feeling someone is going to like some melted cheeses and chocolate. Probably Lex Luthor. Spoiler alert.
