It’s not only certain exterior shots that suffer with issues - one or two interior scenes exhibit a distractingly marked increase in noise too, such as the sequence in the museum containing the Sword of Alexander. Neither of the color error or noise issues appear during the same shots on the standard Blu-ray disc. Exactly as happens with many of the sky shots above the deserts in Warner’s Mad Max UHD BD.Īs well as looking noisier, bright, whitish skies in Batman V Superman in UHD also contain some strange color errors, with faint pinkish and green shades creeping into some areas. Some exterior shots - especially those that feature large expanses of sky and/or swirling smoke or dust, like the Lois Lane sequence in the Sahara - exhibit far more grain and noise than the vast majority of other footage. The biggest frustration, as it was with Mad Max: Fury Road, is some pretty stark and distracting inconsistency in the quality of the image from scene to scene. With all this in mind, I wasn’t that surprised to find the Batman V Superman UHD visuals rather hit and miss - enough to class as a slight disappointment overall. I also couldn’t help but recall the visual inconsistency of Warner’s Mad Max: Fury Road Ultra HD Blu-ray ( reviewed here). Plus while some IMAX effects were apparently rendered in 4K, most digital effects shots - of which, of course, there are many! - were almost certainly initially rendered in 2K.

There are also some questions over the film’s native resolution namely that while the film was rendered in a 4K digital intermediate presumably used for the UHD BD master, it appears the film was largely upscaled to that from a lower filming resolution.
