grossed a whopping $873 million at the worldwide box office, pitted beloved characters Batman and Superman against one another in show-stopping fashion.
Batman v Superman wasn't a critical success, coming in at a mere footage that fleshed out Batman and Superman's respective stories as they begin to form their conflict with one another.
In honor of the four-year anniversary of Batman v Superman's theatrical release, Snyder hosted a live rewatch of the film offering his own commentary. Snyder explained how Doomsday, one of the film's villains, evolved into a more comic book accurate interpretation of the character. In his commentary, Snyder states that the character's bone growths are meant to evolve him to make him look like the classic comic book iteration that fans have come to know and love.
Snyder's commentary of the extended cut was full of new tidbits and behind the scenes information. For example, the director revealed that teases of his full version of Justice League, called the Snyder Cut, in order to pique interest.
Watching a director such as Snyder give detailed commentary of one of his films is always a delight, particularly because fans have been rallying to see his full cut of Justice League. Fans were story ideas and character arcs/reveals well planned out if he was given the chance to move forward. Though it's disappointing his ideas won't be able to come to fruition, fans can still appreciate and revisit his work on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as they continue to yearn for his version of Justice League.
