To achieve this, editor David Brenner (working with director Zack Snyder) was forced to excise nearly 30 minutes of connective tissue. Gal Gadot’s debut as Diana Prince is a standout moment. Her arrival during the final battle against Doomsday, accompanied by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL’s "Is She With You?" theme, is iconic.
