Deleted scenes and lines still missing from the movie

We've had two versions of the movie, the theatrical cut and the Ultimate Edition, but there is still some content that didn't make the final cut in either version.

In the third trailer, we were shown snippets of the warehouse fight scene. There is this one particular moment of Batman flipping over a goon off his back, and sends him flying into a pile of crates. This moment didn't make the final cut.



During the second trailer, we hear Batman saying "It's time you learn what it means to be a man", presumably it was meant to be said during the fight with Superman. It didn't make the final cut in either version of the movie.

I don't know where this is from exactly and I can't find out what the intention behind this scene is. But it appears Zack Snyder is making a gesture to cinematographer Larry Fong on how to capture a shot of Clark Kent from behind, as he looks to be doing some research. The background setting is definitely not the Daily Planet. It looks like Clark is working on something from his apartment in Metropolis, or maybe back in Smallville.



Finally, Snyder was contacted by a fan on Vero and was asked about these rumours behind a deleted scene of Superman trying to look for Martha Kent, once he was told she was kidnapped. Snyder confirmed a shot was filmed in front of a green screen, and the idea was Superman tried to use his super-hearing to locate his mother's whereabouts, but was too overwhelmed by the terrifying sounds of other crimes happening all over the city. He realised he couldn't find Martha this way, and had no other choice but to face Batman. Snyder allegedly cut this scene altogether because he found it too dark. You can watch the first four minutes of this YouTube podcast discussing this scene in the video below.

QuoteJonathan Nolan: He [Batman] has this one rule, as the Joker says in The Dark Knight. But he does wind up breaking it. Does he break it in the third film?

Christopher Nolan: He breaks it in...

Jonathan Nolan: ...the first two.

That bit of tossing the thug into the crates looks awesome. And it's a good indicator of Batman's strength in the Snyderverse. I don't know very much about stunts and gags like this for film. But crashing into those pylons or whatever those things are looks like it would hurt like anything, even if you're wearing a padded suit to cushion the fall.

After having another peak at Batman's duel with Superman in TDKR, it turns out that deleted line from the trailer is taken nearly word for word from this panel.



It might've been nice to keep that line as yet another callback to TDKR. But I assume the reason it was removed is because it wouldn't have meshed very well if Batman held the deluded belief that Superman was an inhuman abomination.

Here is another shot of Clark doing research on his laptop, and Lois comforting Clark as he sleeps.





These photos were taken from the BvS artbook. There had to be a script written to shoot these scenes. Maybe the Clark and Lois scene isn't that significant, my guess is it's a small intimate scene of Lois getting ready to work while Clark sleeps, but Clark's research scene must've involved looking up more info on Batman.

This other photo I found isn't a deleted scene, as far as I know, but a test to determine how the film would look in snowy weather. The original concept art had BvS taking place during winter.
