I would love to see a copy of this edit as well. It sounds like the re-ordering of the Africa scene as the ‘point of no return’ makes the most sense out of all the edits I have seen.
I would be very happy to be a test viewer

I’d love to be a test viewer as well. I’ve watched a number of BvS edits and none of them really got there for me. Your cut list/restructuring looks like it will bring a much better flow to the movie and I really appreciate that the film still works in the DCEU continuity.

Reading through the edit list, this version looks nigh-on perfect to me, re-instating a ‘cause and effect’ structure that was sorely missing in both cinematic and extended editions - this could replace my offical version as my go-to watch, i think.

A couple of minor suggestions though:

  1. Remove the scene of Martha being taken hostage. I saw this in the No Justice version, and it worked really well when played as a reveal to both us and Clark when he thinks he has gained the upper hand.

  2. Reinstating the bit of Clark following Bruce downstairs, only to see the news report and then have to disappear off. I know you’ve (IMO quite rightly) removed the Mexico scene, but I think the iconography of Clark undoing his tie is a) great to include in at least ONE of these new films and b) well established enough in the public mind that we know where he is going

  3. As much as I hate the way the scene plays for Clark, I’ve mixed feelings about totally losing the Batmobile confrontation, as it sets up why Bruce ‘summons’ Clark with the batsignal later. My suggestion would be to include a version of the chase that reduces the murdering and cuts Clark saying ‘consider this mercy’.

But that’s my opinion without seeing the cut - you’ll know what works better for what you are doing! 😃

Though I’ve always been somewhat a fan of this film, this edit sounds brilliant! A link would be great
