I believe these are HD remasters and not 4K. iTunes also offers them in HD. I would love to see what K could do with them.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition)” HDR update
Added Theatrical Version
Video quality improvements
 
Nice that’s the updated Zack Synder Rerelease with knew color grade and IMAX scenes...

I don’t think it is although I see they show him as the director. But the Zack Snyder release is 4 hours yet this version is 3. Or perhaps the HBO Max one is an extended release of this one?

It is the updated version
same one as this upcoming 4k Blu-ray release

it isnt any longer than before just new color grade and IMAX aspect ratio...

I think you are thinking of his Zack Synder‘s Justice League that released today on HBO Max, that is 4hrs 2 mins...

I stand corrected. That is what I though you were referring to.

Looks like only for the BR version
 
A new Atmos update from Fox:
 
That looks like a data issue. I'll let the team know.

Whew, I was going to say. Let's please not get into price differences between 4K releases. Having different version of 4K is already confusing enough for your average consumer.

The fact that EST still has different quality levels today is crazy. Just another thing pushing people to streaming services. They just find what they want and hit play. It's 2021! The fact that EST retailers like Vudu, etc. (and even K) still sell releases in SD, HD, and UHD is ridiculous. Just pay one price and you should get it in the highest quality available. If the movie is only available in HD when you purchase it, you should get to watch it in UHD when it's available. With digital, people should be buying a movie, not the quality level.
 
While I think many agree @billygreen23, the problem from a pricing standpoint is that it may be 2021, but not all K owners are using Strato's, many still have only Premiere systems, and a certain number of them are SD (DVD) only systems, so these price differences are there to support those owners as well.

If we were DVD (SD) only owners, we certainly wouldn't want to pay the premium for UHD/HDR (or even HD) if we didn't have the equipment to support playback.
