It’s already one of the biggest movies of the year, and soon you’ll be able to bring home BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE in the form of an Ultimate Edition Blu-ray. What makes this extra special is the inclusion of scenes that were cut from the theatrical release, in some cases featuring characters you never saw previously. Jena Malone, as one example, is shown on the home video release for the first time. There’s new footage with Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck and Amy Adams, plus featurettes covering everything from the new Batmobile and Batcave to creating a new Wonder Woman. This release is pretty packed. If you can’t wait until July 19th to pick up the Blu-ray, you’ll also have the option of a Digital HD release on June 28th. Check out the full press release below and a sneak preview trailer that shows you some of the cool added footage.
