Darkseid kills Lois Lane and Superman succumbs to the anti-life equation and joins forces with Darkseid -- blaming Bruce and the league. Aquaman and Wonder Woman die and it's on Bruce, Flash and Cyborg to go back in time -- which is why Flash shows up in BvS asking if he's too late and he must save Lois.
They completely changed his design as well. They Marvelized him. He should be getting his original design in the Snyder Cut.
I hope so. He is one of the main members and founder of the Justice League. It made no sense excluding him, especially after showing the Lantern that battled Steppenwolf back in the day. Also the took out Martin fucking Manhunter? They totally fucked it up. Steppenwolf needs to be taken out early on after he assumes there are no protectors. Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Cyborg should be enough to take him out. It would have made since for Bruce to find Green Lantern too while Supes is still dead, though having Martian Man Hunter join in to beat Steppenwolf's ass and introducing The Green Lantern later on after Supes is brought back to life (Which Darkseid should do after he arrives to take care of shit himself post Steppenwolf ass kicking) Then we get the Lois dying, Evil Supes, Darksied is about to win, followed by Flash and Cyborg coming up with the idea to travel back in time to warn Bruce, save Lois, (Some bad ass Alfred Moments somewhere in there), then Supes is resurrected and a good guy this time, and the good guys somehow beat Darkseid after the best fucking battle we have ever seen.
I consider myself,... not a superhero buff, but huge fan. I own all the movies and still have many many comics(need to assess value of some of them. I think I have #3 Spiderman, #1-#10 Dial H for Hero, ETC. However. I dont know who Snyder is. IS this to be a series on HBO with all the actors from the movie? Is this an HBO movie release?
It's the original movie. Zach Snyder was the original director he filmed Justice League, but left before he could finish it because of some family stuff. WB then hired, marvel director Joss Whedon to finish it. Whedon redid most of it, fucking it up terribly. All of the stars wanted the original. So do the fans. HBO is paying Zach Snyder to finish the original film and they will release on HBO
The only thing I'd say is he was forced out and used the death of his daughter as an excuse to tell him to go be with his family. He actually came back to finish the project and they denied him because of the reception that BvS received - the WB fools cut out 30 mins so they can make more money by showing it one more time a day. SMH..
I'm hearing that Cavill will be back for a sequel to Man of Steel. I'm hearing AT&T is already goading Ben Affleck into doing a series or movie as Batman for HBO Max. If all goes well with the Snyder Cut, I expect Snyder to be back and potentially continuing his universe without WB intervention.
I don't THINK Martian Manhunter is in on the end fight. I think it's more of a tease of who he really is in the film. From what I hear, Wonder Woman decapitates Steppenwolf and his head rolls through a boom tube where Darkseid is, they watch as he crushes Steppenwolf's head with his foot, stomping on it. I THINK before the reception of BvS - Justice League originally had Lois Lane being murdered by Darkseid but I think that got changed and pushed back to the second film. So, I don't expect Zack to shoot that unless he goes in and shoots scenes THE WAY HE WANTED. He had to change a lot during production because of the BvS reception. There are MORE nightmare sequences - MOST GLORIOUS. I even hear that one nightmare sequence has Batman teamed up with Leto's Joker and Deathstroke - since everyone is all in on defeating Supes and Darkseid in the nightmare future.
Okay, brief rundown... Zack Snyder was to guide and watch over the DC Extended Universe. His first film was Man of Steel and his second was Batman v. Superman. Because of the reception of BvS - some saying it was too dark - made him change the script to Justice League during production and under horrible circumstances, his daughter committed suicide. Warner Bros. used his daughter's death as an excuse to kick him off the project and bring in Joss Whedon, a Marvel guy. They reshot 90% of Justice League and made it lighter and jokier. Snyder's original cut was 3 hours and 30 minutes. Warner Bros mandate to Whedon was to get it to under 2 hours, which they did. They also made it lighter. Here we are, 3 years later, the original Snyder Cut will be released. If you're a fan of the edgy and gritty filmmaking that was Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman then I'm sure you will enjoy this. If you found those to be too dark or adult themed, I'm guessing you won't.
