New on DVD: ‘Batman v Superman’ gets supersized

This week’s top video release features additional material from the theatrical version.

• “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” HH: Holy bloated muddled mess! The first 45 minutes of director Zack Snyder’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” is such a confusing menagerie of worn-out and worthless story points that only a well-staged battle and the appearance of a female savior keep this latest comic-book-inspired film from being the biggest failure in the genre.

And now it has additional footage, thanks to the DVD release.

• “Elvis & Nixon” HH: Michael Shannon and Kevin Spacey are two of the top actors working today. Despite all of their skills, they cannot make this snippet in American history anything more than slightly interesting. There’s just not enough material.

Screenwriters Joey and Hanala Sagal fill in around the meeting with some very odd moments for Elvis (Shannon). They are more interested in his trip to a doughnut shop than why the King would be so obsessed with getting a federal badge.

Also on DVD

• “The Perfect Match”: A playboy (Terrence J) who doesn’t believe in serious relationships runs into Eva (Cassie Ventura).

• “Miles Ahead”: Don Cheadle stars in this look at the life of Miles Davis.

• “Bitten”: Laura Vandervoort series about a female werewolf.

• “The Martial Arts Kid”: Teen rejects tough-love approach of family, martial arts community.

• “Underdogs”: Toy figures save the day.
