Batman v Superman: No Justice

Very entertaining, compelling and enjoyable. Much more well-rounded and self-contained. Felt like an original movie. Even Lex Luthor is scarier. Superman has more depth and is a more complex character and Batman is just absolutely stunning.

Great fan edit of what wasn't a BAD film, just one that was too ambitious. After all, it was the introduction of the DCEU Batman, and to have Superman killed in HIS second film in the DCEU is just ridiculous.

While the other reviews said mostly what I would have said, I will add that the emotional impact of this, and its tight story made it BETTER than the theatrical version.

Please do a fanedit of Justice League (once we get the deleted scenes, or a Snyder cut, or whatever) -- because that would be awesome.

9/10 over all. I highly recommend it.

Growing up I had only a passing affiliation with comic books. However, even before the recent(ish) superhero movie explosion, characters like Superman and Batman were iconic characters of pop culture, transcending their comic book origins. Richard Donner’s Superman and Tim Burton’s Batman showed how comic book characters could work effectively onscreen by giving them a “grounded” aspect (Batman ‘89 in particular I loved). What filmmakers have done now – such as Zak Snyder with his needlessly overstuffed and overlong Batman V Superman – has trashed this approach in favour of overblown fantasy and headache-inducing CGI.

Enter Batman V Superman: No Justice. This fantastic, technically impeccable edit doesn’t just strip away what I disliked about the theatrical cut, it rends it limb-from-limb and condemns it to the Phantom Zone. The “No Justice” tag is a clever play on words that describes both Batman’s motivation and the faneditor’s goal: no Justice League set-up, no “universe” building, no Doomsday (sadly there is none of the lovely Gal Gadot either, a necessary sacrifice to achieve the goal of this edit). It also mercifully truncates Lex Luthor’s annoyingness (is that a word?) as much as possible. The edit focuses on the two titular characters, with Lex merely acting as the puppeteer behind the scenes. It essentially becomes a standalone movie with no links to any other film in the DCEU; and while I still feel Synder's grim tone and unenergetic performances from the central cast will bog down any faneditor's interpretation of the material, this fanedit is the best representation this movie is ever likely to receive.

It presents a startlingly different version of the film and is wholly recommended for fans of the more realistic tone of Chris Nolan’s Batman movies (and to a lesser extent Synder’s own Man of Steel). The only caveat is that fans of Superman may have issues with this cut. While I thought that Superman was poorly represented by Synder throughout most of the theatrical cut anyway, he does have a redemptive moment at the end by defeating Doomsday – for obvious reasons this is no longer present in this cut. As such I think fans of the Dark Knight will probably enjoy this edit more – particularly as with clever editing it almost entirely removes the heinous decision by Synder to turn Batman into a murdering psychopath in this movie.

10 out of 10, would watch again!

Like many when Batman V Superman came out a few years ago I eagerly awaited the release of the first big screen outing of two of DC's biggest heroes that would be seen together for the first time on the big screen and sadly like many I was disappointed. I wasn't disappointed by a lot of the things that others were however, no Batman killing didn't bother me much because it is clear enough (at least for me anyway) that Bruce is a man at the end of his rope when we meet him here, someone who's old, tired and grizzled from dealing with the horrors of Gotham City for 20 years and feeling like his heroics made no difference in the end. As for Superman being mopey and non-Supermanish, I also understood what Clark was going through and why he was acting the way he did, He's tried to be helpful and do good all his life but is constantly criticized by the very people he tries to protect so when allthese incidents and news reports happen and show him in a negative way can you really blame him for questioning himself or feeling sorry for himself, he like Bruce feels like no matter how much good he does he will still be seen to many as nothing more than an alien or someone who's actions and opinions shouldn't matter on Earth (Which for all intents and purposes is his home planed) just imagine the stress of the only world you've known attacking you and hating you for trying to protect it. Those were my thoughts on some of the things in the movie originally but now onto No Justice

First let me just say that this may be one of the best if not the best restructuring of a movie I have ever seen (And I've watched A LOT of Star Wars Prequel edits that try to trim and alter the plot) Its incredible to me that without all the extra sub plots and characters how much clearer the move becomes. I was shocked at how much I actually was able to follow every character's plot point and understand their motivations more clearly than in either the Theatrical or Ultimate cuts of the movie. I personally was someone who kind of got lost in the movie while watching it originally and kind of wasn't able to follow everything with totally understanding it because of the sheer length and content contained. No Justice streamlines the movie incredibly and efficiently, yes one of my biggest problems for every cut of the movie is still present, which is that its boring (just my opinion) BUT with how much is cut and changed around here the experience is considerably better and I honestly quite enjoyed it despite not being a fan of the movie. If you want to just get the main elements of the movie without all the extra fat and set up for the DCEU then this edit is worth your time I could honestly see this in a store next to the official releases as another alternate cut, technically its superb with audio and sound effects used perfectly to transition and the editing was basically flawless as well except in a few scenes where I knew what was cut or changed, that being said you could probably show this to someone who's never seen the movie and they wouldn't notice at all. All in all No Justice is BvS experience that takes you on a familiar and significantly shorter ride that focuses on every character perfectly and their motivations very clearly. Honestly if the WW, Doomsday and Justice League cameos weren't cut this could easily be watched in a DC marathon leading to Justice League (reeseevens should do an edit of that too btw) for those who want all the necessary information without all the rest

As for Doomsday and WW along with Luthor's elaborate plan to get Batman and Superman to fight is hardly missed though I personally liked the whole doomsday fight and WW at the end and would have included it (actually its the one thing I really liked originally lol) but here its not missed at all

Wow.... Just wow. You made BvS into a genuinely coherent, darkly fascinating, and honestly engaging movie. I despised this movie when I first watched it and I watched the ultimate edition. Your vision of a focused plot is proof enough for what this film should have been. Absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to create this. This is the definitive way to experience BvS.
