Back in December of last year, it was rumored thatBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicehas a running time of 151 minutes. That has officially been confirmed today byAMC Theaters. The two hour and thirty minute length clocks in at three minutes longer than the 148 minuteMan of Steel.
While two hours and thirty minutes is quite long for your average movie, some feel that this is way too short for the very ambitiousBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The movie not only features a title bout between the two titans of the title, it will also introduce Wonder Woman, Doomsday and set upJustice League Part 1. There is a lot of world building that needs to be done inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. While some movies might feel long at 151 minutes, it sounds likeBatman v Supermanis going to be a brisk, non-stop ride full of action and thrills that won’t have time to catch its breath.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceis one of the most ambitioussuperhero moviesever made. Even though it arrives three years later as a sequel toMan of Steel, it is the movieWarner Bros. and DCare using to set up their DCEU on the big screen. And in that, it will reportedly introduce a number of iconic characters.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is set to include cameos fromAquaman, The Flash and Cyborg. Though, it has been stated over the past year that these appearances are fleeting. And of the Justice League heroes outside of the Trinity,Aquamanhas the biggest role to play. And he’s only in two scenes.Ben Affleck’s Batman will be walking onto the scene a seasoned vigilante. We’re not sure how much of his backstory will be told, and it’s assumed that a lot of the narrative will be made from what fans already know about the character. Perhaps he doesn’t need much set-up in terms of screen time. ButWonder Woman, on the other hand?Gal Gadotis the first actress to ever play her on the big screen. And her history is not as well known amongst movie fans. There is no doubt she’ll feel short changed here. But we’re getting a soloWonder Womanadventure in 2017, so perhaps that’s okay?
Fearing the actions of a god-like super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before. Check out the official AMC listing below.
