- TriviaIn 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.
- GoofsWhen 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, 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.

I could also go on and on about how WB, critics and some D. C. Fans have since the TC's release in 2015 unfairly misrepresented, misinterpreted and misunderstood the film to drag it down. This, the Ultimate, most complete Edition (especially the new Remaster with some IMAX scenes restored) is rather more immune to that bad-faith criticism as it spends more time going in-depth to each plot point as well as adding and explaining characters and decisions which simply did not make sense in the Theatrical Cut.
Is the movie perfect now? Of course not. But is it an amazing, extremely well-written, excellently shot and scored and brilliantly performed breath of fresh air amongst the hordes of by-the-numbers comic book movies? In my opinion that's not a question at all. Yes yes yes yes yes.
