Welcome to the new norm. Some asshat beancounter in a 4th floor cubicle figured out that if they push these extras to the point where there's just enough of a substantial change to the theatrical release they can get a healthy boost in doubling dipping from people who saw it at the theatre.

As if you had to be a genius to put that revelation together. Before there was some sanctity in the art and craft, and what a final cut meant.

Alternative cuts aren't new, but never used to be the norm, and typically their existence had an interesting backstory as to why they existed.

BvS's ec actually filled out the what should have been the theatrical release instead of the barebones cut it originally offered by cutting 20% of the runtime.

SS, while only clocking in around an extra 13 minutes, of course is fattening it up with the character that was promo'd and billed on being in it in about 50% of their marketing. All the gorilla advertising around the film initially surrounded Leto and his character. Yet somehow the theatrical release has only 6 - 8 minutes of the Joker.
How nice they're going to reinsert him.

Of course I'll watch it, because I'm still just another sucker, but I won't spend a penny seeing the extended cut.

I'm hoping this ends the extended shit/odd editing with Johns over seeing things going forward.

Thankfully it is only a DCEU issue, in that here it is being used to "fix" movies. Everyone else uses it to either add to, or improve, not fix, the movie.

Yup. The figured out they can go "Hey come watch our movie!! But wait, we didn't include everything in the movie, so buy our DVD to see what should have been in the movie!!!" BS.
