The movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: Ultimate Edition, UPC 883929447435 has the 3D theatrical version as the parent, a 2D theatrical version as a child and 2D extended version as a child. If we use the specs from the 2D extended version for the parent profile, we don't have the individual specs for the 3D theatrical version, however the 2D extended version ends up with it's specs for the parent and the individual child. This makes no sense to me. If this is how it's supposed to be, so be it. I'll just keep mine to myself.

The rules reads:
For branching titles, or those with multiple versions (e.g. Theatrical and Director's Cut) on the same disc, use the longest running time.
Note: it says branching titles, not individual discs.

I don't own this version, but IMO the specs/run time from the 3D version should be used in the parent and the extended run time should be reserved for the child. The extended cut of the film is not on the same disc as the 3D version, and the 3D version should be the parent.

Here's the rule you quoted, bolding by me:
For branching titles, or those with multiple versions (e.g. Theatrical and Director's Cut) on the same disc, use the longest running time.

I agree with Eagle, they should be using the following rule from the Box Set section:
Quote:
Sets containing the same film on multiple media types (such as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack) are to be entered as a normal profile for the main media type (Blu-ray in this example), with all included media types checked. A combo which includes HD media (HD-DVD, Blu-ray) as well as DVD should use the details from the HD media in the main profile. However, you may add an additional profile by Disc ID for the DVD content and add this profile to the Box Set contents for the Blu-ray profile.

The parent should reflect the 3D version, with child profiles for the rest.

There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

Well, I agree with all of you, but my contribution got shot down with 1 yes and 5 nos. I'm very confused by the decline. There must be something I am missing.

I don't own the release, but looking at it in the database it currently has 183 min. entered as the running time in the parent, and the specifications on the back cover only list the "Theatrical Version" (151 min.) being in 3D, which is on the main 3D disc.

You were just trying to correct it to the shorter running time then? If there is no branching, that seems to be the correct way of doing it based on the rules... so I don't understand why it would be voted down or declined either.
