Zack Snyder’s Justice League vs. the Whedon Cut: What are the Differences?

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains Zack Snyder’s Justice League spoilers. Whether you love or hate his style, there is no denying Zack Snyder is an original. From 300 to Watchmen, and Man of Steel to Justice League, his characters often hover above the screen as much as occupy it. They’re mythic figures who’ve stepped off a Botticelli canvas, or at least Frank Miller comic book panels, and they’re imbued with such a sense of scale from their director that the aesthetic is nigh impossible to duplicate. That is only clearer now thanks to Zack Snyder’s Justice League, a restored four-hour edit of…

Zack Snyder’s Justice League: A History of Steppenwolf

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains Zack Snyder’s Justice League spoilers. The influence of the legendary Jack Kirby permeates almost every single aspect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But despite creating an impressive corner of the DC Comics cosmic mythology in the 1970s, his Fourth World and New Gods concepts have yet to be properly represented in live action. That, of course, changed with 2017’s Justice League movie, which saw the introduction of Steppenwolf, as well as other concepts from the Fourth World mythos such as Mother Boxes and Darkseid. And now those concepts are even more on display in Zack Snyder’s Justice…

Zack Snyder’s Justice League – What is the Anti-Life Equation?

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains Zack Snyder’s Justice League spoilers. DARKSEID IS…finally in the DC movie universe with the long-awaited release of The Snyder Cut of Justice League. And with Darkseid comes a whole host of plots, tools, and general bad dudes to help him destroy the universe. The most core to his being? The Anti-Life Equation. In Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Steppenwolf is still very much the main baddie of the film, exiled to Earth for failing to deliver enough worlds to his master, Darkseid. But Steppenwolf discovers a way to redeem himself when he learns that Earth contains a secret…

Zack Snyder’s Justice League

Max SchindlerMovie reviews, ,
Determined to ensure Superman’s (Henry Cavill) ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) aligns forces with Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions. The task proves more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face the demons of their own pasts to transcend that which has held them back, allowing them to come together, finally forming an unprecedented league of heroes. Now united, Batman (Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and The Flash (Ezra…

Zack Snyder’s Justice League Review

New DVD release, , ,
When fans gathered beneath the “#ReleaseTheSnyderCut” billboard at San Diego Comic-Con a few years ago, a finished version of Zack Snyder’s Justice League didn’t exist. Sure, there was a rough edit the director kept for his own collection, saving it from Warner Bros. after being effectively replaced by Joss Whedon during reshoots in 2017. But with unfinished effects, no music, and apparently little polish, this version turned out to be a glorified assembly cut which contained everything, plus the kitchen sink. Yet that fact mattered little to fans who demanded more—more movie, more Snyder, and ultimately more content. Well, Zack…

Zack Snyder’s Justice League: Why Wonder Woman and the Amazons Have a New Theme

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Tom Holkenborg wants to take an entirely different spin on the music we associate with Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman. To be sure, the famous electric cello theme composed by Hans Zimmer, whom Holkenborg collaborated with on the score to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), still appears in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Yet this time around, the Dutch composer, who is also known as Junkie XL, was looking to bring out a different side of Wonder Woman’s personality, not to mention Zack Snyder’s decidedly more ancient interpretation of the Amazons. “It does use that [Zimmer] riff,” Holkenborg says…

Why Zack Snyder’s Justice League Isn’t Canon

New DVD release, , ,
Zack Snyder’s Justice League will unveil what was once the Bigfoot of the film industry: the titular director’s true rendition of the 2017 DC megamovie from which personal tragedy initially incited his exit. Indeed, rarely does a legendary unrealized project manage to manifest in such a definitive manner. Yet, while the film’s imminent HBO Max premiere will be a clear victory for the legions of fans behind the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement, Snyder revealed a major concession he made regarding its place in the DC Extended Universe continuity.   If you needed confirmation straight from the horse’s mouth about the Snyder Cut’s…

Justice League Star Connie Nielsen Voices Support For Snyder Cut

New DVD release, , , , , ,
On March 18, Zack Snyder’s Justice League will finally see the light of day when the director’s previously uncompleted version of the film premieres on HBO Max. As exhaustively reported over the past couple of years, Snyder stepped away from finishing his version of Justice League in early 2017 following the death of his daughter. Joss Whedon was appointed by Warner Bros. Pictures to complete the movie and ended up doing a fair amount of rewriting and some two months of reshoots, resulting in a film that — whatever one thought of it — was reportedly quite different from the…

Zack Snyder’s Original Vision for Justice League Faded Long Before His Exit

New DVD release, , , , , ,
As Zack Snyder’s Justice League prepares to showcase the director’s true vision of the 2017 film long-sought by a vocal segment of the fandom, behind-the-scenes details have emerged about the director’s exit from the theatrical film, providing interesting context to its upcoming debut on HBO Max. It seems that the official—devastatingly heartbreaking—explanation for Snyder’s departure from the film actually overshadowed some behind-the-scenes strife. Picture this for a Justice League plotline: Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) falls in love with a recently widowed Lois Lane (Amy Adams). While the notion of a Batman/Lois Lane romance is not entirely unheard of in the…

Justice League: How Christopher Nolan Helped Prevent Zack Snyder from Seeing the Whedon Cut

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It was a very select group of people who were satisfied with the Justice League movie which hit theaters in November 2017. As a Frankenstein’s monster of cinematic body parts, some derived from the original production helmed by director Zack Snyder and other scenes created whole cloth at the last minute by Joss Whedon during reshoots, the finished Justice League is a patchwork. But no one had more reason to be dissatisfied than Zack Snyder. Hence why Deborah Snyder, his wife and producing partner, as well as family friend Christopher Nolan stopped him from ever seeing it. In previous interviews,…

Martian Manhunter in Zack Snyder’s Justice League Details and Look Revealed

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The new and official trailer for “the Snyder Cut” of Zack Snyder’s Justice League landed last weekend. And while it showed off a ton of new footage, including a brand new Steppenwolf design and our best looks yet at other evil denizens of Apokolips like Darkseid, Desaad, and Granny Goodness, it didn’t quite solve all the mysteries or reveal all the surprises still waiting in the new film. Fans will continue to have to wonder whether a human Green Lantern will make an appearance for a little longer, and there was no footage of Martian Manhunter. But a new Justice…

Bringing a New Justice League to Life

New DVD release, ,
If you’re assembling a Justice League roster, names like Superman, Batman, Flash, Hawkgirl, and Aquaman spring immediately to mind. But what about Black Adam, Hippolyta, or new hero Naomi? When Brian Michael Bendis reunites with artist David Marquez in Justice League #59 in March, your perception of what a Justice League team can be might change. Mr. Bendis told us what to expect about this new and unexpected Justice League. Den of Geek: This is an interesting roster. It’s a very different kind of Justice League roster than we’ve seen in a long time. Brian Michael Bendis: I was genuinely…

Zack Snyder Wanted to Make a Batman vs. Joker Movie After Justice League

New DVD release, , , , , ,
What’s more controversial? Zack Snyder’s vision of the DC Universe as expressed in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and which he will finally complete with the release of “The Snyder Cut” of Justice League in March…or Jared Leto’s tattooed-and-grilled gangster interpretation of the Joker in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad? Don’t answer that, we’re not looking to start that fight yet again. And yet, the debate rages on. And it’s a debate that will be once again opened up when Zack Snyder’s Justice League arrives on HBO Max in March. Snyder has filmed brand new footage…

Jared Leto’s Joker Gets New Look in Zack Snyder’s Justice League

New DVD release, , , ,
We’re just over a month away from the release of “The Snyder Cut,” now officially known as Zack Snyder’s Justice League. The new, epic-length version of the Justice League movie will hit HBO Max on March 18, and each day, the director has teased something new about the film. Whether it was the mysterious “fallen” and “risen” teases (the latter of which payed tribute to the iconic cover of Superman #75, in which the Man of Steel fell at the hands of Doomsday) to dialogue attributed to the Martian Manhunter (who did not appear in Joss Whedon’s theatrical cut of…

The Justice Friends from Dexter’s Laboratory Deserve a Revival

New DVD release, , , , ,
I’d like to think that it’s widely accepted that 1990s animation was very good to comic book superheroes. We had a genre-changing Batman: The Animated Series, the deep and socially relevant X-Men: The Animated Series, and two expanded cartoon universes that came out of each one. But there was one superhero cartoon, neither DC or Marvel, that sticks out to me for being a bit underused and well before its time. I want to take a second to talk about the Justice Friends. The original two-season run of Dexter’s Laboratory not only focused on the main misadventures of the boy…

Justice League: Zack Snyder Promises “A Solid Two and a Half Hours of Unseen Footage”

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Zack Snyder is almost finished editing what fans have devoutly named Justice League: The Snyder Cut. And he wants his devotees to know they have barely scratched the surface of the slow-motion glories he’s envisioned for the superhero epic. Speaking on Vero, Snyder’s social media platform of choice, the filmmaker said, “I’m excited for you guys to see the giant amount of movie that you have coming your way in 2021 on HBO Max. Don’t forget that it is probably a solid two and a half hours of unseen footage in this movie, I would imagine. Something like that. So…

Justice League: New Snyder Cut Steppenwolf Draws Internet Fire

New DVD release, , , , ,
Fans have been treated to an eyeful of Steppenwolf from Zack Snyder’s extended Justice League project. Snyder’s forthcoming cut of the 2017 film, which he had to abandon after a family tragedy, will be released in several parts on HBO Max in 2021, and is set to cost around $70 million to fully complete. Joss Whedon famously took the directorial reins from Snyder after he left Justice League, and some fans were unhappy that Snyder wasn’t able to realize his original vision for the film. A successful campaign to get the alternate cut out into the world then ensued, and…

Justice League: Joss Whedon Denies Ray Fisher’s Claim He Altered Actor’s Skin Tone

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Stories of a troubled production and accusations continue to swirl around Justice League three years after its release, and one of the film’s directors is making his first public statement about the controversy. Following Ray Fisher’s recent claims in a Forbes interview, Joss Whedon, who oversaw the superhero movie’s reshoots, is responding. Prior to the recent interview, Fisher began drawing public attention in July to what he has called a toxic work environment on the Justice League reshoots. And he singled Whedon out as “gross, abusive, and unprofessional” on the set. This week though, he gave his first anecdotal example…
