Just wishful thinking. It was literally never confirmed, just highly speculated and many sources just ran with it. It is a bummer though, I would have definitely liked to see her as Oracle. But as @fire_and_ice, we may very well see more of her character in the future.

Snyder got a really tough time based off the theatrical version, which is a shame in my opinion. If this was his real idea for the film overall then perhaps he's not as bad as he has been made out to be.
So if you had issues with the film feeling disjointed or incomplete, the UC may at least change your opinion a bit in that regard.
One wonders if they had both been two parters how the films would of indeed been different and possibly better
For one, in a two-parter Batman and Superman would have actually fought, and not had a meager four minute squabble.
I'd have loved to see Batman v Superman be more like TDKR in regards to the dynamic between Batman and Superman, and the sides they played for. More stress should have been placed on the drawbacks of vigilantism and the collision with that type of crime fighting and law enforcement, showing Gotham's heroes getting arrested and put behind bars while Batman continues his fight, forced more underground each month as searches and busts increase.
Superman post-MoS would be in a vulnerable position, still trying to desperately show the public that he can be trusted. He gets meetings with legions of political advisors to work towards being Earth's true protector, but instead these suits manipulate his goodness and honest intent to basically use him their weapon/pawn in wrapping up America's problems in a nice bow wherever they pop up. While Superman thinks he's saving the world/making people safer taking down warlords and other assorted crime world wide, he's really just acting in areas where the US government wants him to to facilitate a series of coordinated and methodical plans they have set in motion that benefit them and their benefactors/investors.
Naturally, through the government circles, Superman would meet with Lex, and together he and the people in power would send Superman on a mission to bring Batman and other vigilante heroes in, as their actions are dismantling operations they are trying to net money from, though they lie and say they just want those working outside an elected system to be stopped and their powers checked. In addition, the government only wants heroes they can control to their own gain (again, like Watchmen with Supes as an unwitting Dr. Manhattan), so maverick heroes like Batman that refuse to compromise are dangerous, especially when Bruce knows the government is doing evil with Superman as their pawn.
There would be plenty of conflict for Superman in the story, as he starts his partnership with Earth's governments thinking he's actually helping the people, until he realizes his innocence and goodness is being used falsely by those in power for their own gains. Lex would start out as an enriching friend and partner to Superman, before he is revealed to be no better than government officials with stakes in the parts of the world they send Superman to stabilize or ruin, depending on their needs. They would then have a clash, sparking their rivalry for the rest of the series of films, setting them both on two separate sides of the moral line.
Seeing Superman, a symbol of justice and righteousness used by a government that tries to espouse such ideals to their public would be an interesting clash, when the latter are revealed for what they truly are as Superman finds himself at the center of a complex affair of deceit and extreme jingoism let off the chain. Batman of course would be the source of the revelation Superman has about the government, as he points out the true motivations of the people who have Clark on the leash every time they collide. When they did have their big fight, then, they would actually be having a tangible conflict where both men are fighting for their own principles, Batman for vigilantism and Superman for justice-seeking, as Batman has been painted negatively by his masters. The fight wouldn't be all about Batman simply wanting to kill Superman, with Superman standing there only to be punched and made the fool. Real stakes would be involved.
The film would've introduced the heroes of the JLA organically, as targets for Superman to bring in. Aquaman could be used interestingly, as he is angry at how the attack led by Zod on Earth affected the oceans. His conflict against world governments and Superman as Earth's protector would be two justified strategies that would kick off, as the king of Atlantis takes his anger directly to those in Washington. Part of the film would see Superman facing each hero, from Aquaman to Flash and Wonder Woman as they are introduced through their fights with him, where they would clash physically and mentally. At the time Superman would feel he is doing the right thing, as his ear is being talked off about how these "heroes" are anything but, and are instead dangers to the public that work free of checks and balances (largely Lex talking on behalf of his benefactors). Superman will fail to see the bad in the men he's working with, blinded by his own desire to help in any way he can, before it's too late for him to see what's truly going on.
At the end of the film you could have all the heroes of the future JLA locked away in cells, the place the government sent them to after Superman brought them in (not knowing their fates). The end of the film would see Batman and Superman freeing the heroes from the facility when the plot is discovered, where the heroes are being tested on by those in the government to create beings just like them that they could control for their own needs, largely as military weapons. Lex's bots and other assorted robotic guards could be used as enemies (the cells could even be housed deep inside Lex Corp and hidden underground), and when the day is saved, the JLA would be formed as a true team of protectors for Earth working on their own outside of government influence and control, for the right reasons, all led by Superman.
That's the kind of film I wanted to see.
Warner Bros. really made a balls of the theatrical version. The scenes they took out were quite insignificant on their own terms but together they added quite a bit to the badly paced first act we were treated to back in March.
First ten minutes of the Ultimate cut, awesome IMO.
I love that shot of the pistol caught in the pearl necklace.
Fair enough @0Brady - I can understand why. :P
I saw BvS three times, and Civil War once! ( loved both- just throwing that out there)
As someone who liked the Theatrical Cut a lot, i have to admit, now looking back at it i maybe shouldn't have.
Because after watching the Ultimate cut i can honestly say that the movie makes a lot more sense to me now, in terms of character motivation and overall story.
The first half is much better explained. The chopped up feeling of random scenes following each other is gone.
Only (obvious) downside to that is, that the movie feels longer, with more dialog sences added and not much more Action.
I do have to say though, that for people who felt that this movie was to grim and dark, and who didn't like batman killing people, this cut will do nothing to reedem itself. Rather the opposite.
After watching the UC i don't think i would ever want to see the TC again, as there are too many important scenes missing
i think anyone who liked the TC at least in some parts will love this UC.
It feels much more complete, and like the actual movie should have been from the start and not like some Extended cut with minor added scenes that add nothing to the main plot.
Quite the contrary, all added scenes revolve around the main plot and the characters that are already established, but everything here has more room to breathe and becomes much clearer because of that. I see a lot of scenes with very different eyes now, like the whole 'Martha' thing. There are a couple moments that will be definitly clearer after you watch the UC, but i don't want to spoil any
