    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In an interview on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (2009), Ben Affleck said he was warned by Warner Bros. about the possible negative reaction to his casting, and was advised to remain off the Internet after the casting announcement. He also said, to assuage his concerns, the studio showed him negative comments that fans had initially made to previous superhero castings. Affleck said in spite of the studio warnings, he still checked out an online message board. The first comment he read was, "Affleck as Batman? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" After seeing that, he immediately went offline.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 40 mins) When Superman and Batman are fighting, Batman releases a smoke bomb. Superman could use his X-ray vision to follow Batman's movements, but he looks surprised when he goes through the smoke and Batman is gone. In fact, these bombs contain lead which disrupts Superman's vision. When Batman is preparing his bombs in the Batcave (at around 1h 18 mins), a chemical formula is written on each bomb, the letters "Pb" are present (symbol of lead).
    • Quotes
      • Bruce Wayne: We're criminals, Alfred. We've always been criminals. Nothing's changed.
      • Alfred: Oh, yes it has, sir. Everything's changed. Men fall from the sky, the gods hurl thunderbolts, innocents die. That's how it starts, sir. The fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men... cruel.
    • Crazy credits
      The Warner Bros, Ratpac Entertainment and DC Comics logos have autumn leaves falling.
    • Alternate versions
      The theatrical release (rated "PG-13") is 151 minutes in length. The "Ultimate Edition" director's cut (rated "R" for scenes of violence) is 182 minutes in length.

    • Who created the character of Batman? Bob Kane is listed in old (pre-2015) media including the comic books as creating Batman on his own but new media (made after 2015) shows him as co-creating the character with someone called Bill Finger, so what's all that about?
    • Why does Lex Luthor want to kill Superman?
    • Whose handwriting is on the newspaper clippings sent to Bruce Wayne?
