Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: Ultimate Edition - REACTION!! 

Day 2 of our 3 Days of DC! Raw Rider Patrons can watch the Full Length Reaction to this movie HERE: blindwavellc.com/batman-v-superman-dawn-of-justice-ultimate-edition-full/

This ultimate edition is what made me LOVE the movie. So happy you guys did this video!

I can't help being entertained when Eric is just straight up fanboying at things when the other 3 are decidedly less impressed. 😂

I will say before this movie I never realized both of their mother's name was Martha

Everytime wonder woman shows up: Head bobbing intensifies

"I promise to you. Martha won't die tonight" This one Batman line, I can feel the ptsd from his mother death, it still haunts him

Fun Face: One of the Senators at the panel is actually real-life Senator Patrick Leahy. He is a huge Batman fan and has had a cameo in multiple Batman movies.

I still think Jeremy Irons was a superb Alfred. It’s not said enough

I think people take the Martha thing too literally, yes both moms have the same name but I believe the point of the scene was to humanize Superman, Bruce saw Superman as nothing but an alien who could be a huge threat, but in that Martha moment he saw the humanity in Superman

I like how Eric is able to have a mature conversation with his buddies, and not have different opinions and disagreements effect the fun of discussions. Well done gentlemen.✌

"Hey guys screw BlindWave, I'm Eric" , saw it in a comment once can't unhear it now

In comics after Jason dies, Tim shows up and says that Batman became much more violent, risky and he was going to get killed and he had to prevent that. For me BvS was a "what if.." scenario, what if Bruce didn't get any support, lost his son, didn't have Justice League and lost even more people in an alien attack. Bruce knows he became a monster after 20 years in Gotham, he embraces this idea.

You can also see in this film that Clark learnt from Zod fight aftermath. He takes Zod Doom to outer space so it won't destroy the city and hurt people. He is learning to be a better Superman.

fun fact: the senator is played by the voice actress for Mrs. Incredible

In true BvS fashion, I think this is the most divided the crew has been on a movie lmao.

Definitely enjoyed the ultimate cut way more than the theatrical

I love how they start headbanging at 11:45 for the WW theme

14:52 Eric: “LET THAT SINK IN!!” I don’t know why I find it so funny but that’s honestly hilarious!

We all just love Eric! Man he is like the Perfect Balancer! Jesus Bless That Man!

Eric: You've seen this movie, right guys! The Guys: .___. yeh I guess.

This video putting Eric at the top of everyone's favorite list

Like or don’t like BvS, I think the majority of us can agree that the warehouse scene is still the best Batman fight scene in live-action. Very Arkham-esque.

Batman’s theme in this movie >>> It’s just so good🔥🔥

Honestly so happy Zack Snyder's Justice League has brought more fans to watch BVS Ultimate Edition. It deserves to be seen.

I really love the idea, how you guys started reviewing and watching initial movies before ZSJL, so that you can feel and make your point before watching 3rd movie. 👍

Interesting that the Theatrical cut didn’t have the scene with Steppenwolf near the end and his design is akin to the Snyder design in the upcoming Justice League. So if anything his “new” design for the Snyder Cut is actually his original design, and they fucked it up for the 2017 cut of JL.

These DCEU reactions make me love Eric even more. His fanboyisms are reminiscent of my own. Rick being negative and not liking it is like the Yin to Eric's Yang Calvin and Aaron kinda being meh is also a nice balance

The ultimate cut of this movie is one of my favorite cbm’s. I appreciate taking these characters to their lowest moments and building them back up there. The deconstruction is favored IMO, and this is the first time on film we got a bad ass Batman. I appreciate your guys difference of opinion on this film, but I love it and can’t wait for the Snyder Cut tomorrow.

The nightmare is a dream, Flash talking to Bruce is reality.

Up until now I had been having a bad day but what had been getting me through it was knowing that Blind Wave were uploading this today. I know I speak for many when I say that I love you guys and you really do make people's lives better. Thank you

Great Show Mates!!! Did the same thing myself to prep!!!

I may not like Snyder's take on the characters, but I can appreciate the Ultimate Cut as a coherent and interesting take on the DC Universe, which is more than I can say for the botch job of a theatrical release. Great cast (Eisenberg excepted), great score, a few amazing action sequences, amazing visuals and provocative ideas.

0:49 Calvin: "You never refer to it as this off camera, making us look like idiots" I laughed so hard

The only problem I had with this movie is they did "Dark Knight Returns" & "Death of Superman", two huge comic book storyline in a single movie, second to their franchise and "Joker type Lex Luthor". Everything else was great.

batman was talking abt superman's parents thinking they were aliens and him realizing that he is human and has human parents is wht snaps him out

I’m meh about the movie too (not great but also not terrible), but that opening sequence with Bruce in the destruction of Metropolis is pretty spectacular.

1:17:32 Mark! I love how this LL didn't try to trick CK as previous versions did! "Save me!" 😅

13:00 "Batman, Lex Luthor is trying to play us against each other" . Even if Batman didn't believe him, at least it would seem like Superman was actually trying to be smart other than "I don't have time for this"

The Wonder Woman song gets me every time Bro

I very much enjoyed having Rick on, so those of us that really didn't like this movie had some representation

The IMAX version of this film hits HBO Max tomorrow alongside the Snyder Cur! Get hyped!

Calvin during the whole discussion: I just wasted 3 hours

Definitely more coherent & better flow than the Theatrical

Seeing the snydercut, i can totaly see luthor becomming the sinnister Mastermind he is.

Imagine how hilarious it was when I watched this film with two friends and we were discussing how bad all the Martha thing was in the movie. And then we realized that both my and my friends' mother's name was Martha XD.

BVS is one of my favorite comic book films but what I love about this channel is that even if majority of you guys that didnt like the movie, you guys analyze it, ask questions and look at it with a different view... rather than just saying "this movie sucks". You guys notice each detail on what the director is trying to portray. One of my favorite reactors. Bravo

I've been waiting for this since yesterday!!!!! Thank you for reacting to this movie! It's one of my favourites!

I wanna see Rick's reaction and thoughts to Josstice League after watching the Snyder cut. (especially the mustache) I know... i still wanna see it...

I was on the fence with this film back in 2016...Ultimate Edition however has vastly impressed me. I think this was ahead of its time. It may well be a Masterpiece.

Watching Eric react to these movies is like watching how I watch these movies haha love it

Batman mentions fear a lot and that’s what this (IMO outstanding) film is about: fear. Look at how afraid the powerful are when their power is surpassed. “That’s how it starts: the fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men cruel.” Alfred is, in a way, referring not only to Bruce (a genius master martial artist billionaire), but Lex (a genius, egotistic billionaire), and mankind (the used-to-be dominant species on Earth) Each of those groups/people were, in their minds, the apex predators of their societies. And with Superman around, all of their skills, muscles, money, and power mean virtually nothing. It’s nice to imagine that we’d just be taking selfie’s on 5th Avenue with immortal Norse gods but humanity, in this film, is going through a real identity crisis. And Clark is trying to navigate himself in a world that...kinda won’t LET him be a hero. If the movie seems “grey” it’s because this is how humanity would react, if not worse.

A cool little detail is the future scene isn’t a dream, more so a real portal-like glimpse into a potential future. After Bruce “wakes up” from Flash’s time travel message, we see behind him floating and falling pieces of paper implying Flash was actually there and affecting the physical surroundings.

There is a deleted scene where Clark research more on Bruce and finds out about his parents dying etc.

Knowing that someone here was a Smallville watcher... makes my heart sing

At the end during the funeral scene, you can see a woman holding a bowl of food walking into the room. That's Zack Snyder's wife & co-producer Deborah making a cameo. And if you look closely at the old photo of Wonder Woman, you can see Zack Snyder himself dressed as a soldier in the background.

I love how the warehouse fight scene ends with Batman casually punching an already incapacitated henchman in the balls.

This movie is the definition of underrated

clark can hear lois 1/2 way around the globe, but he cant hear his mother scream when kidnapped?

The whole Martha thing is just the idea that until the very end, until he’s about to die, Superman is asking his killer, someone who hated him to save his mother. That thought hits Bruce and he finally for just a second, sees him as a man and comes out of his kill rage.

I don't know if it was intentional but it's kinda hilarious how the reaction seems to cut around the majority of Eisenberg's scenes lmao

18:32 Mark! Alexander Luthor: "Your Doomsday?" Superman: "No. I thought he was yours!" 😅😂

Eric, you are amazing. You are an awesome moderator. I love every aspect of Batman v Superman. I don't even mind the theatrical cut, I loved the movie when I saw it in 2016. The Martha scene was never a problem to me. I saw Batman v Superman in the movie theatre with my mom and this scene moved me, I immediately understood and connected with what Zack was going for. But I'm a sap.

I seriously cannot wait to see my favourite reactors explode at the Snyder cut

superman: “save my mom” batman: “who’s your mom?” superman: “her name is martha” I think Clark was just trying to cut out the middle man.

Finally! My Favourite CBM ever and the best reactors, so glad you guys are doing this.

Well-made pearl necklaces are knotted between each pearl. That way, if the string breaks, all the pearls don't fall off. Thomas Wayne was a cheap prick.

Calvin in his Arnold voice “Stick around” 😂😂😂

15:37 It is at this exact second, Batman realizes that he has become Joe Chill, and is horrified by the realization.

I can just imagine x108 in the top left of the warehouse fight scene.

I really like BvS. I really really do.

I’ve always liked this movie and not sure why everyone hates on it?

Rick, when Bruce said "I bet your parents taught you" he was referring to his Krypton parents. He knows an alien has parents. But not human parents. That gives him humanity.

Now you know why the flash part is important and non of us knew

Aaron: "Would you rather have gotten crushed up above though?" Calvin: "I would have!" without any hesitation! I love it! lol

The one thing I never understood is how Bruce had a vision/dream of the future. He had never seen a Parademon in his life so how did his mind construct the images of them. Is it because Barry from the future somehow put that vision into his mind or something?

It’s not because he didn’t think about he saves metropolis. It’s because of the vision he was afraid of

I’m glad that even though they didn’t like it they had a civil discussion about it. True friends.

Say what you will about this movie...but damn Superman's death was so well done and I honestly felt so much emotion in the scene.

This cut of the movie actually rearranges some scenes too. I will always remember the scenes at Lex Corp with the government folks always confused me in the theatrical cut. Because, in the theatrical cut, you get the scene where he meets them and talks about wanting to import the rock, then it cuts away and we see some completely unrelated scenes. Then we get the scene where the government guy asks Lex what he wants, and Lex asks for access to the crashed ship, and Zod's body. It feels like there's a chunk of time between those two scenes, which makes the movie's timeline feel messy and confusing. But in the Ultimate Edition, those two scenes are back to back. It's literally one sequence. You even see Holly Hunter walking away in the start of the second scene, so it's obvious that those two scenes are supposed to take place one after the other. It does wonders for making the story flow in a cohesive way. Honestly, if ever there was an appropriate time to call something "definitive" this was the time to do it. The Ultimate Edition seriously devalues the theatrical cut simply by being more cohesive and easy to follow. Of course, the movie still has to be your cup of tea for you to enjoy it. But the fact of the matter is that the theatrical cut was a muddled mess, and honestly deserved to be so divisive among fans and critics.

I just love Eric's attitude to everything cause I too just fangirl over cool stuff even when the thing is not as impressive as my other friends tell me

"It's crazy how much they rush and yet how slow it feels." - Rick summarising this movie in a sentence.

Once again, I appreciate Rick's ability to cut through hype and movie forgiveness.

There was a different take that showed lex saying doomsday would only obey him. He was clearly wrong

The way I always took the Martha scene was that Batman always viewed Superman as an alien, a thing. So when he starts begging for him to save “Martha”, it gives him pause. Then once Lois explains that Martha is Superman’s mother’s name, Batman realises that while Superman may be an alien he was raised as a human, by humans. So if he actively goes out of his way to kill Superman, he’d be no better than the man who killed his parents*. The one thing I will say, I wish they had another excuse to explain Batman’s actions in this movie. It’s heavily implied that Lex knows that Batman is Bruce Wayne, so why not take it a step further by having Lex use Scarecrow’s Fear Gas on him making Batman more unstable than usual, with his mother’s death in particular playing on his mind. Maybe even take it a step further by explaining that Robin’s death was immediately before the Metropolis attack, so that’s also playing on his mind. *I think this Batman justifies the casualties he causes as “they willingly put themselves in my way, but so long as I don’t go out of my way to kill them then my conscience is clear”. He put Superman into that position, and went out of his way to get him there, so if he killed him then he absolutely would have been, without question, a murderer. Last note: I think Doomsday was Lex’s backup plan. Just in case they don’t kill each other.

Eric is officially my favorite now! I understand why people don't like this movie and that's fair, but I really love this movie and it was nice seeing Eric fighting (in a civilized and mature manner) for this movie. No disrespect to the rest of the guys, because they didn't just shit on it, they praised what they liked and gave reasons why they didn't certain parts, but Eric a real one 👊🏾

I think it would help a lot of people's perspectives if they didn't go into this film with a pre-conceived notion of what Batman should be. He is introduced as the villain of the story. His arc is that he has his faith in humanity restored and becomes the good Batman he was before. That's what his intro monologue was about. How there used to be diamond abolutes (no killing) but it was all a beautiful lie. He went from "How many good guys are left? How many stay that way?" to "Men are still good." He makes a promise to be better on Clark's grave. The story Snyder is telling was supposed to be a 5-film arc. Man of Steel, BvS, JL1-3. He was never trying retell the same story of the comics. Literally every film is a commentary on our society. Man of Steel was about how we would react to the introduction of a being like Superman. BvS was about how we would react to the aftermath of MoS and how politics/religion/etc would be affected by the existence of Superman. By the end of BvS, like Eric says, half the world worships him as god. Half hates him for being a destructive alien. But then he dies. The world was so busy about his existence, they didn't think about how much they need him. So in JL, we will see how the world mourns and regrets their behavior. That's what i gather at least. Zack is telling his own story and using comics for inspirations. In my opinion, you aren't supposed to feel heartbreak for Superman's death (at least as much as Tony dying or something.) His death is used to tell a bigger story than just one character. It has a purpose that is very much necessary to progress Clark's journey to becoming the Superman we all know. The world rejected him. They lost him. And they're granted a second chance when he comes back. When that happens, i think he will be the hero everybody looks up at and smiles. It will feel earned. This is all just my take on it. I hope you guys read this and find your own conclusions :)

Eric being a giant fan of shit is the reason I watch this channel. Keep doing you Eric!

Eric, waiting for _that_ fight scene to begin, look of pure joy on his face = Pure awesomeness. 😎

I love these discussions where someone dislikes the movie or show. The debates add so much more to the videos than everyone just agreeing on how good something is in my opinion.

The extended cut is defiantly the superior cut of this movie. It makes more since then the original cut.

People don’t notice that this whole movie is Batman vs Superman not just the fight. People have to read between the lines. The fight just comes because of Batman and lex

44:43 Mark! Hmm. In war movies the man with the flamethrower either explodes or catchs on fire, when his fuel tanks are shot! 💥

Bruce thought of Supermans parents as alien but when he see's Lois Lane, a human who cares for Superman, telling Batman that Superman's mothers name is Martha. It humanises Superman in Bruce's eyes.

I love this movie and I’ve been waiting for this reaction!

The best reasoning I can think of for the Martha scene is that bruce saw superman as an alien completely overlooking the fact that he was earth grown, I loved the duality bruce built in his mind about Clark and once Clark begs him to save Martha it broke through to bruce that Clark really is a being capable of love and connection not just an "overseer who bends for no one". That's just my take and reasoning for the scene I still maintain it wouldve have been easier for fans to cope with the Martha scene if Bruce kept on beating superman while he asked about Martha.

1:33 Mark! Hold it! Eric, I just saw the spoiler review for it and you did too enjoy it! Remember, Shane and Calvin were there too?!

one thing we can agree on snyderverse is the way they show superman's physicality i.e shockwave punches, super speed,sonic boom and even after a huge fight superman never looks tired. there is nothing like that in mcu.

good reaction, I personally don't understand the dislike for this movie, I think it is a nearly perfect movie, Ben Affleck is brilliant as Batman and as Bruce Wayne, and I love the different take on Lex

i watched it a few hours ago. still cant believe how good it is

32:17 Mark! The whole "Martha Problem" wasn't one for me as U understood it right away and I thought it was funny too! 😄
