Batman v Superman - They were hunters [Ultimate edition] 

There's a scene in BvS where Clark goes on a mountain journey to find himself. There, he meets the phantom of his father. His dad tells him that he misses him. And Clark tells his father that he misses him too. Everything in the background is white, ice, bright and positive. In the next scene, we have Wayne, staring at the graves of his parents. In wayne manor. Alfred comes, trying to talk Bruce out of going to war with Superman. Citing, "its suicide". Bruce replies "I'm older than my father ever was". The background was demonic, dark, depressing, brooding & perfectly capturing the spirit of a man hell bent on doing something horrible and ready to sacrifice himself in the process. My point is, both the men, Clark and Wayne are missing their fathers in this scene. But the backgrounds depict their childhood and upbringing. Superman's beautiful upbringing with positive reinforcement. Being accepted everywhere, from the Kent's, when they found his spaceship in the farm to Lois, the daily planet and else where, percieved as a saviour. A God. Where as, the scene also depicts Wayne's childhood. Repeated negative reinforcement. Witnessing the death of his parents infront of his eyes. Seeing the reality of mankind. Their real face, day in and day out, in his reign, as a vigilante. Rejected everywhere. Percieved as a criminal, a "bat brand". A Demon. This really projects how Clark always sees the best in people. While Wayne always sees the worst in them. Wayne reeks of atmosphere. A fever dream. A vigilante. A spent man. A man who is aged than his father. A murderer. A lost man. Never had love. Spent his whole life for nothing. This version of Bruce made me shed a few tears. "They were hunters"

“So falls the house of Wayne” is such a good line.

Affleck absolutely nails this older, brooding, and jaded version of Bruce Wayne.

These small moments are gems So perfect, so well written, so well acted. I cherish this movie to the core.

I love how tortured Bruce Wayne is: •The man loses his parents at a young age •His protege Robin was murdered by The Joker •Lost countless of employees who HE KNEW during General Zod's Metropolis attack from Man of Steel. When Superman showed first showed up, Bruce felt like the terrified child again. Bruce was afraid of Superman, judged him as a unstoppable murderous monster when the entire time it was Batman.

WB might have taken everything away from me (destroyed everything Zack Snyder was building) But they will NEVER take MoS and BvS away from me, NEVER. I will always be able to revist these awesome scenes and taste the epic journey these heroes were set on.

“He is angry and he's hunting” scenes like this are the reason why I watched it like 10 times on theater

This is just pure art!

There is some magic in this scene...I like it very much

This movie is just pure art🥳🤩

Glad to know Affleck will receive some form of closure through Zack Snyder's Justice League after this masterpiece.

Honestly watching the film for the first time in the theatre I was not impressed with it, however when I eventually watched the ultimate cut of the film I was like, wow maybe there was a lot of things that I missed the first time around. Who knows maybe the criticism will change in time and people will look back and say hey, that’s not such a bad film after all.

I love how that when Burton’s Batman kills people and Bale’s Batman leaves people to the fate he deliberately set them on they are called the ‘Best Batman’ but when Snyder’s Batman kills after 20 years of being Batman in the most crime-ridden city in the world he’s called the ‘worst Batman ever’. Edit: And just a quick disclaimer, I love all three versions. I am not criticising them.

Personalmente adoro questo film, cupo e completamente cinico!!! Non capisco davvero come abbiano potuto togliere a Snyder Justice League per darlo a Whedon che obiettivamente ha fatto un disastro!

HE’S BACK ❤️

So falls the house of Wayne. #RestoreTheSnyderVerse

Affleck is absolutely brilliant in the role. I despise Warner brothers and Whedon for ruining Justice League and Snyder's future with DC films. We could have had so much more of this

Did they alter the soundtrack for this scene in the Ultimate Edition? The song playing here is the second part of "They were hunters", but from my memory the piano section of "They were hunters" was what was playing in this scene here.

RIP Batfleck, he was the best :(

Ben Affleck will always be Batman in my opinion

That quote was the first thing that crossed my mind when I read that Jensen Ackles would be Batman in The Long Halloween.

NEVER FOUGHT US ... ... NOT US UNITED 🔥 BatFleck 😎 YEAH 🔥 DC ⚡

I watch this as reminder who I want to be

Even Alfred is scared of Bruce. The man is willing to go toe to toe against universe most powerful being… this ain’t a hero movie it’s a got damn horror movie.

Where the hell can I find a coat like that??

mannnn we really need the synder cut, in that genre. DARK !!!!

The best saying.

Jesus you know this is such a great scene you just wish it was in a better movie.

Snyder, next to Nolan, was the best thing that happened to DC on film. He had balls and creativity to reconstruct this decades old mythology and give it to us in a NEW form. It’s sad to think about where they’re heading now. Clark Kent bumping into doors, dropping the briefcase in front of Perry White and letting the papers fly everywhere. I was relieved when Snyder understood that these characters go beyond a specific set of circumstances. Too bad

Alfred was sonned so crazy. best part the movie

Alfred has knowledge of the Wayne's past as same or better than Bruce because he comes from a generation of butlers serving the family and would never say something like the last line.

"I'm older now than my father ever was" Just think about that line, outliving your father, your mother, I never understood why DC haven't done a one shot about that idea, and how that effects Bruce, his life and legacy

People like saying, "People only like Batfleck because of the warehouse fight." No, its because of scenes like this. No suit, no punches no actions. Only Affleck standing in one spot delivering great lines in a great way.

As a 59 year old man who is nearing the age my father died at back when I was a kid, this scene is so haunting and brutal.. Snyder is a master at conveying emotion.

Probably the best scene in the movie that doesn't involve action

Wonderful Bruce Wayne. Sad what Whedon did with JL.

Bruce went from this to "Oh, yeah something is definitely bleeding" #ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Anyone that watched "the revenant" can get an idea of how much of a badass the wayne family was.

When you see Bruce just standing there by himself, in the ruins of his family's home, just watching his parents graves, it just shows how deeply he was effected by that tragedy, even after all those years he couldn't get out of the grief of his family's death, this scene is just amazing like the whole movie itself, pure excellence

It's scenes like this between Alfred and Bruce that really make me love BvS. This is probably my favorite movie of 2016

I love that Bruce Wayne remembers his family history. He knows they where hunters and earn their fortune from nothing into becoming a Great Dynasty.

"This may be the only thing I do that matters" This is so fuckin powerful. Dude Affleck is the greatest Batman. I'm never gonna recover if we don't get more from him.

This scene is so brilliant.

I love that we have an already established batman. No origin story needed.

I still dont understand why this movie is hated by many. This movie was amazing!

This scene actually makes me tear up a little now that I look back on it. This is a moment that is rare in batman mythos where Batman openly admits that his actions aren't black and white and he may have hidden motives behind his heroics. A lot of heroes have theorised why Bruce is Batman and it is met with Batman being silent or denying it. But this is the first time in cinema where Batman's heroics have been a constant chase for control and power over events that stemmed from the powerlessness he felt as a kid watching his parents killed. Hell, his motives for trying to hunt and destroy Superman comes from another moment of powerlessness during the Zod attack. Bruce wants to make a mark. He lays it out bare when he stares and says "This is about the future of the world. This is my legacy."

Batman's goin to hunt the strongest buck there is

I need a whole movie with batman, Alfred, the commissioner, and detective work with some action

"THEY WERE HUNTERS" Walks away like a badass Lmao...

As much as I don't want another origin story, I would love to see how Wayne Manor got destroyed

that speech Bruce gave 👌

Love the shot from 0:00 to 0:03.. Absolutely Beautiful! This movie was underrated af ...

FOR THOSE who dont know the real motivation for Bruce.... This is the scene that explained it. Batman feels he is fallen and Worthless. He is blinded by anger and driven by his insecurities. ♠ (the 1% chance was just an excuse, for this)

WB was really dumb to cut so many parts that would make movie much better

probably lots of people won't agree with me, but I think affleck on this rol represents the best bruce wayne ever played on any batman movie. agree ?

A modern masterpiece

This is the reason why he builds the spear "they were hunters", the other reason can be found in the scene between him and diana, the sword of alexander and the myth of the gordian knot, superman is an impossible problem therefore he's the gordian knot of the story. And this happens again with lex creating doomsday as his own personal sword and truth representation of a god: all powerful and all evil.

Love how Bruce always wandered in a field towards his parent’s graves and Wayne Manor with no path in the first and second half of the movie but in the end he walks on a path to the light after he attended Clark’s funeral. Such symbolism of Batman’s redemption and reformation into the light to form the Justice League along with Superman in the Sun. #UsUnited

"This is about the future of the world.. this is my legacy" Bruce THOUGHT his legacy was protecting the world from Superman.. but in reality, his legacy was that he formed the Justice League and saved the world from Stepenwolf and ulitmately, Darkseid.

Bruce Wayne says that the first generations of Wayne's were hunters, & centuries later, he becomes a hunter himself. How ironic.

Man I love Ben Affleck Bruce Wayne

“They were hunters”, and then gives Alfred that look. You knew Batman was going to get that legendary pelt (Superman).

It gives me goosebumps when he says "they were hunters.".

This is some of the best acting I’ve ever seen, the way Affleck enunciates his words with bitter cynicism like a grieving child in a monsters body. It shows you that never grew up. He just wallowed in his parents death till it destroyed him.

I was a marvel fanboy when I first watched this movie in theaters and everything jumped over my head. I came out and criticized every bit of this film. Now after 5 years, I finally got closure. DC is on another level in terms of character motives and storytelling. Their stories are precisely how the world is... unlike Marvel, where everything feels like a fairytale.

Just came here to click on the "Like" button

Here after watching The Batman. I can confirm Ben Affleck is still the best Bruce Wayne / Batman.

This scene is better than the whole marvel disney universe!

I really love this song because it gives off that horror vibe. The killer getting ready to hunt it's victim, hence why it's called They Were Hunters.

God, I would kill to get a movie on this Batman’s history. “20 years fighting criminals......” Do you know how much shit this version has been through?

I really hope he rebuilds the manor... restores the estate!

I come here to watch this scene once in a while.

This scene, still to this day gives me goosebumps. Ben Affleck absolutely nailed it, i wish a Batman movie or HBOMAX series with him involved come to fruition with Discovery!

“They were hunters” Chills every time😳

What’s also great about this scene being restored is that it dovetails with the previous scene (the music even overlaps) with Clark visiting his own father to reflect on things. Clark heard that doing good sometimes has a bad unintended effect and that he can find his inner strength through his loved one; Bruce thinks on his legacy and the fact that he’s now a man older than his father, whose death spurred him into action, and that his legacy is nothing but a constantly refreshed supply of criminals.

This is is the most amazing potrayal of Bruce/Batman I’ve seen. Ben Affleck nailed it. He nails how tired he is of injustice and the way people betray each other. And Jeremy Irons is my favorite Alfred. He’s like the father Bruce wasn’t able to grow up with.

Sadly, we're not getting this top-tier writing in the DC cinematic. Gunn doesn't have this kind of writing or artistic style

The Batman can’t beat scenes like this

Friendly reminder that Nolan's Batman was only active for a total of 3 years, at most. Snyder's Batman, on the other hand, has been at it for FAR longer. 20 years of fighting against organized crime, murderers, psychopaths, rapists, thieves, liars and worse? Losing Grayson before he could even become Nightwing? Realizing that Gotham is no better off than it was when he started? I, for one, don't blame Bruce for the kind of man he has become. Zack Snyder's Batman is one of the most fascinating versions of the character because of his fall from grace and the fact that he's so much older and experienced than most Batmen. He's certainly one of my favorites.

« They was hunters » WoW

"I'm older now than my Father ever was. This may be the only thing I ever do that matters."

This is my favorite scene of Affleck's Batman... So, this is Batman mentally preparing himself for his first actual MURDER. I mean, so far he killed, because he was careless with the lifes of criminals ; because he didn't care if criminals die, because of his actions, but this is the first person that Bruce is going to hunt down and 100% intentionally murder. Alfred sees that Bruce is turning into a monster and that there's no way for him to stop him anymore. Something so terrifying, that Alfred is just left behind with the words: "So falls the house of Wayne.". This is probably one of my favorite Batman/Bruce Wayne moments ever. I mean, with just a few lines of dialogue, this scene manages to be so unbelievable haunting and horrific. To see my childhood hero so fallen in his morals and in his whole inner character just gives me goosebumps. Something that probably no other superhero movie can manage to in such a way...

Easily one of the most powerful yet underrated scene of 2016

So we went from this to “something is definitely bleeding” and The batgrin. Jesus Christ.

People like saying, "People only like Batfleck because of the warehouse fight." No, its because of scenes like this. No suit, no punches no actions. It's scenes like this between Alfred and Bruce that really make me love BvS. Only Affleck standing in one spot delivering great lines in a great way. Probably the best scene

God damn Ben Affleck was such a great Bruce Wayne.

Ben Affleck is the best live action Bruce Wayne/Batman that we’ve gotten, and that’s saying something considering some of the portrayals that came before him. Pattinson has big shoes to fill.

When I saw this film in the cinema I wasn’t too impressed but when I watched the ultimate cut it became one of the best films I’ve ever seen!

Man...that last moment mutter gave me chills. "So falls the House of Wayne..." Delivered in a manner of resigned acceptance, yet encompassing decades of dashed hopes...

Please give Ben 3 solo movies like in marvel every actor gets so pls give him 3 solo Batman movies

This scene reminds me of the one with lex talking to the senator finch "maybe dad will come back if i just keep everything the same...that it's silly... the magical thinking of orphan boys"

The cinematography, dialogue, and Ben Affleck's performance as the Batman in this film were unparalleled. If only Zack Snyder had made a Batman standalone film...

Really like this jaded, disillusioned Bruce Wayne story arc. After fighting crime for many years, he realizes it has amounted to nothing. That’s why he sees taken down Superman (who he considers a planetary threat) as the only objective that would give value to his crusade. Discovering that Superman is actually a hero willing to sacrifice himself for earth, Bruce kind of gets inspired again, or reminded of the his initial nobility of crime-fighting. Thus, making him more like the conventional Batman we’ve come to known. The only problem is that the writers destroyed him in JL.

This might be the only thing I do that matters, that is the saddest thing Bruce has said, because even though he’s fictional everything he does matters to me, he’s been my inspiration since I was 5 years old, so anyone who feels like they don’t matter in this world trust me you do, and you will shine. Love Cesar.

Lets be honest, we all hated Affleck when he was casted as Batman 🤣🤣☠️☠️🤣🤣☠️ But this mf brought back that Dark Knight vibe, absolutllely loved him #BATFLECKFOLIFE 🤙🤙🤙

Ben Affleck makes me love to see bruce than batman

I love the MCU don't get me wrong I own all the films, but there's only like 5 movies for me that are really memorable out of like 22 or 24, but I can remember almost every scene in MoS and BvS, and Every DC & Snyder Film I've watched Not counting the terrible ones like WW84, Shazam, Birds of Prey, or WB's Butchered Suicide Squad, I can't really say so for Marvel Movies except the rami trilogy.

"they were hunters.." i got chills thinking that he will go hunt supes at any cost...

I really liked this batman/bruce wayne, he's wiser but also cynical, they show his arrogance, a little bit of his compasion with that little girl in the first scene, also and the most important thing: they show him with his chronic ptsd which is what he's known for, it's really hard to live with that and i know that because i have ptsd as well.

"This might be the only thing i do, "this is about the future of the world, my legacy", when you hear those lines, you could really sense that after over 20 years of fighting crime as Batman, Bruce Wayne was more than ready to die and make the ultimate sacrifice to stop Superman no matter what and the calmness in his voice combined with the quiet music playing really added so much weight to this scene. I've always loved older Bruce Wayne more as he is like a broken down battered soldier in an ongoing war who has seen so many things and lost so many people in his life to the point that he doesn't care what happens to himself anymore and Ben Affleck did an amazing job portraying that bitterness and anger beautifully.
