Yesterday Warner Bros. released a trailer for the Ultimate Edition of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, an extended R-rated cut of this year’s divisive DC superhero team-up, which will include an additional thirty minutes of footage.
If you were disappointed by the theatrical cut and have been hoping the Ultimate Edition might fix any issues you had with the film, that’s probably not going to be the case – at least according to cinematographer Larry Fong, who has taken to Twitter to say that it’s unlikely to sway any haters…

Those of you who are fans, will dig it. If you hated it, you'll still hate it.

That’s a shame. I refused to watch the theatrical cut, because I held out hope that the extended version would be good.
I can’t imagine that folks at at WB will be happy with this tweet, btw…

Well, at least he’s honest. I’ll give him that.
