The Knightmare

Many said that this scene from Batman v Superman had no reason to be in the ultimate cut. Nonetheless, it still made for an awesome introduction into Bruce Wayne’s paranoia. And whether it was that, just a feverish dream, or whether it was an actual glimpse into the future, the vision of an apocalyptic future, in which Superman is one of Darkseid’s generals, sure gave us the chills.

We had no problem with Batman’s casual use of all sorts of guns and killing Superman’s followers. And we had no problem when Superman murdered Batman’s soldiers. It was just a dream, or a vision of a possible future.

This scene also helped us catch a glimpse of the new Dark Knight’s fighting style, and provided a tease about a future Justice League villain (after seeing Batman v Superman, we are not entirely certain that Darkseid will indeed be the first cosmic threat to confront the united heroes).
