Fans Launch Petition For A Batman V Superman Ultimate Cut Theatrical Release

ComicBook.com has just been contacted by a fan who, identifying himself as "Bruce Wayne" on Change.org, launched a petition to get the R-rated "Ultimate Cut" of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice a limited theatrical release.

The petition hopes to get a theatrical bow for Zack Snyder's extended, R-rated vision for the film, which grossed $166 million at the U.S. box office this weekend and has already earned $500 million globally in its first five days of release.

The petition so far has only a handful of signatures, and petitions Warner Bros. and AMC Theatres -- which may be a somewhat misdirected target, since it was Regal, not AMC, who had Ultimate Tickets and custom 3D glasses for Batman V Superman.

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis's most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before.

Have you seen Dawn of Justice yet? If so, go rate it in the ComicBook.com Movie Database for a chance to win your very own Armored Batman figure!

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is now playing in theaters.
