Some information fresh out of Germany has potentially revealed the runtime for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and it's supposedly clocking in at a hefty 151 minutes, or 2 hours and 31 minutes. That's eight more minutes than Man of Steel, for those who wish to keep track of such things. The nugget comes from a German website where pre-orders are already being sold, and in the same informational listing we're being shown this runtime. It's not outside the realm of possibility considering the similar length of Man of Steel. They're obviously attempting to stuff as much as possible into the movie, considering it's essentially Justice League 0.5 and attempting to introduce half those characters here. Not to mention the fact that they have to show Batman and Superman's actual fight, then Doomsday, then a rumoured final villain (which I'm still banking on being Lex in his big green suit) - looks like they need every ounce of screentime they can squeeze from the studio. Additionally, Henry Cavill has recently spoken of Clark Kent's persona and secret identity - interesting stuff, when you think about the fact that we didn't really see much of the typical Clark Kent persona in Man of Steel;
"Comparisons with Christopher Reeves clumsy Clark Kent are inevitable. My Clark Kent is trying to be as small and invisible as possible. If youre awkward and spilling things constantly, people are going to notice you, and thats not the best way to go unseen. You have to admit, its not a remarkable disguise, just a pair of glasses. Hed like to think that no one will believe he could be Superman. How could such a delicate flower be a living god? Preposterous."
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is released on 25th March 2016.
