Or two different releases, like AOU? We'll have to wait and see i guess.

I'll be surprised.

AoU was advertised as having different backs available. So far, BvS only has 1 steelbook listed no matter which country you look at. And although that could change, what would be the point of having the image upside down on the back if it wasn't for swapping the plates over?

Besides, it's being marketed as a reversible steelbook. If it 2 different designs then they'd probably both have the same rear plate and spine, but a choice of 2 front plates. It would then need 2 listings online showing which version you'd get...

... I will really get niggled by having this absent from the collection until someone else does a release but I think I'm going to have to cancel my order. I really, really dislike everything about this one so the patience game seems the best bet. Feel free to do this one properly Manta :)
 
So...I guess no extended cut. Amazon have the cover art up with a BBFC 12 rating. Unless the extended is also a 12, a la Sucker Punch and Total Recall. However surely the words "extended cut" would make the title?

This new trend of releasing vanilla editions is becoming common.

Nice one, thanks. I only checked Amazon. I wonder why they're not making a show of it, usually an extended cut and in this specific case with 30 minutes of new unseen footage would be accentuated more.

There's no details on Amazon at all yet really.

Let's not forget, it's still not out for 2 months so there's plenty of time for retailers to get the information. HMV have probably dug a little deeper as they've got a steelbook exclusive and want to get those pre-orders in.

Funny, cause now atleast BestBuy have 2 listings up, one for Batman and one for Superman.
 
Some people should be a little bit more open to things :)

If that dig was aimed at me, I don't check every website every day. In fact, I never check Best Buy as they don't ship to the UK.

A page or 2 back, I was open to the possibility of the plates being put on at a 50/50 split allowing the consumer the choice of which version to buy. Pointless if it was being opened as you could just do it yourself, but ideal if you don't open your steelbooks and want 2 different looking copies on your shelf (I'm not that kind of collector). I even said things could change, ie: 2 different designs, on this very page. I'm wondering if the J-card will just be put on different sides, if so you'll still have the spine issue if you don't open it.

Besides, we're in the HMV thread so whatever Best Buy or Target or Amazon.de or anyone else does is irrelevant. As it stands, and with 2 months still to go, HMV only has 1 listing and it still says reversible steelbook. At this moment in time, I'm expecting just 1 version (probably with Batman on the front). As the only (AFAIK) UK retailer that's got any kind of details about the product on their site, I'd have thought if there were 2 options they'd have listed them. Even if there is, and HMV don't update their product page then you've got (presumably) a 50/50 chance of whether Batman or Superman is on the front.

Personally, I don't care for the design anyway and would much rather something else.
