Justice League: Ray Fisher Says Joss Whedon Wasn’t Zack Snyder’s Choice

New DVD release, , , , ,
Justice League: The Snyder Cut is finally becoming a reality over at HBO Max, but the bitter and apparently unhappy process of the original theatrical release’s creation still generates attention nearly three years after that movie’s release. And actor Ray Fisher, who has spent much of 2020 bringing to light allegations of a toxic workplace on the Justice League reshoots, is now sitting down with Forbes to delve further into his frustration with what he calls “the cover-up culture of old Hollywood.” During an interview with Sheraz Farooqui, Fisher opened up about his need to speak out on what he’s…

Jared Leto Joker Returns: Just How Different Will Zack Snyder’s Justice League Be?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
When the news broke earlier today that Jared Leto would return to the DCEU as the Joker in Zack Snyder’s newly expanded version of Justice League, the question immediately arose: was Leto supposed to even be in the original movie in the first place? The answer, to the best of our knowledge, was “no,” which leads to an even bigger riddle (not to mix our villains): just how different will the new version, now called Zack Snyder’s Justice League, be from the 2017 theatrical movie? Leto’s encore as the Clown Prince of Crime was revealed by the Hollywood Reporter, which…

DC’s Endless Winter Introduces Viking Justice League

New DVD release, , , , ,
Reaction around the virtual office water cooler mid-pandemic when DC’s winter crossover, Endless Winter, was announced was guarded excitement, along with the occasional wry “Oh you mean March?” Turns out, it wasn’t that far off, according to co-writer Ron Marz. “The fact that we’re doing this [online] instead of in person at the Javitz Center is part of it,” he said at DC’s Endless Winter panel at New York Comic Con replacement Metaverse. “We’re all feeling a sense of isolation.” Endless Winter is a nine part crossover that runs through two bookend issues, three specials, and the regular issues of…

New DVD release, , , ,
It looks like Zack Snyder will put the Justice League back together to film new scenes after all for the Snyder Cut on HBO Max. THR reports that Snyder will assemble Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg for an approximately week long shoot that will be used to create new scenes for Snyder’s Justice League cut. No word on whether Jason Momoa’s Aquaman or Ezra Miller’s Flash will be necessary. As has been extensively and exhaustively detailed everywhere for nearly four years, Snyder left the Justice League movie…

Jason Momoa Expresses Support for Ray Fisher in Justice League Investigation

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Ray Fisher’s allegations about abuse of power on the set of Justice League continue to get more serious, and there’s no sign that the young actor, who played Cyborg in the film, is likely to back down any time soon. Fisher alleges that director Joss Whedon and producers Jon Berg and Geoff Johns behaved poorly during the Justice League production, and that attempts were made by studio executives to cover for them. But now he has another powerful ally in the form of his Justice League teammate, Jason Momoa. While Momoa didn’t offer any detailed comment on Fisher’s allegations, he…

Swamp Thing Revealed in Concept Art from Canceled Justice League Dark Movie

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Justice League Dark, DC Comics’ coterie of macabre heroes, has long been on the DC Extended Universe docket in multiple forms, having spent years as a movie project before being put into development this past April as a television series for HBO Max. Now, an interesting artifact has emerged from one of its canceled movie iterations in the form of concept art revealing a (let’s just say “unique,”) aesthetic for team member Swamp Thing. Concept artist Houston Sharp posted his planned designs for Swamp Thing that he worked on with David Masson for the version of Justice League Dark that…

Is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in the Arkhamverse?

New DVD release, , , ,
The reveals of Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and WB Montreal’s Gotham Knights at DC Fandome was certainly exciting but resulted in quite a bit of confusion regarding how (or if) these games share the same universe. The heart of this confusion can be traced back to the reveal of Gotham Knights. The debut Gotham Knights trailer kicks off with Bruce Wayne confirming that he is dead, which echoes the ending of Batman: Arkham Knight in which Bruce Wayne seemingly kills himself as part of the Knightfall Protocol. That trailer strongly suggested that Gotham Knights was a sequel…

Will Justice League: The Snyder Cut Finally Unite the Seven?

New DVD release, , , , ,
Back in the early days of the Justice League movie marketing (and when I say this I refer to the time before we had even seen a trailer for the film, and long before director Zack Snyder had been replaced by Joss Whedon, and even longer before any of us thought there would be a groundswell of support for a “Snyder cut” let alone enough to make it a reality) there was a phrase that piqued the curiosity of DC fans: “Unite the Seven.” “Unite the Seven” was the text that accompanied the first official image of Jason Momoa as…

Justice League The Snyder Cut Restores Kiersey Clemons’ Iris West

New DVD release, , , , ,
After much speculation, tweeting, trolling, and gnashing of teeth, HBO Max’s version of Justice League, which may or may not have the title of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, got an official trailer. There’s plenty to deconstruct in it (see our analysis here), but one bright spot is the inclusion of Kiersey Clemons as Iris West. In the trailer, Ezra Miller’s barefoot Barry Allen comes to the rescue Clemons’s Iris West as she lies in the street, presumably about to be hit by a car. Fans of the The Flash know the character Iris West as a reporter and Barry Allen’s…

Justice League: The Snyder Cut Puts Darkseid Front and Center

New DVD release, , , , ,
Among all the other revelations that the first trailer for Zack Snyder’s Justice League brought us, giving us the clearest, most official look at the DCEU’s Darkseid might be the most exciting. The most powerful villain in the DC Universe, and one of the best in comic book history, has waited 50 years for his cinematic debut. A criminally long time for a character that ranks among Jack Kirby‘s greatest creations and one who has become central to the cosmology of the DC Universe. Darkseid had been teased in Snyder’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice in a number of…

Zack Snyder Says Cyborg Is the Heart of His New Justice League Cut

New DVD release, , , ,
During Saturday’s (August 22) panel launching the official first teaser for the Snyder Cut of Justice League, director Zack Snyder hinted during one exchange that the character of Cyborg, a.k.a. Victor Stone (Ray Fisher), would be “the heart” of the movie. Snyder brought on several of the stars of the movie, including Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Henry Cavill (Superman), Ben Affleck (Batman), Ezra Miller (Flash), and Ray Fisher (Cyborg). Each of the actors read a fan question tailored for the most part to their particular character, with Snyder doing his best to make it seem as if the actors’ clearly…

Justice League: DeSaad Revealed in Snyder Cut Trailer

New DVD release, , , , ,
Zack Snyder’s retouched Justice League is coming, and with it, a whole passel of fresh New Gods. One of them we’ve seen from the trailer is DeSaad, the pointy faced, pointy toothed guy in a hood. But who is he? Well, friends, we’re here to tell you everything you need to know about him. But just in case you haven’t seen that ridiculous Snyder Cut trailer yet, here it is… WHO IS DESAAD? DeSaad was originally created as part of Jack Kirby’s huge Fourth World story. His name was a reference to the Marquis de Sade, the famous French snuff…

Zack Snyder debuted the first trailer for his version of Justice League on Saturday (Aug. 22) during the online DC FanDome event. A high level of anticipation has surrounded the project ever since it was officially announced as coming to HBO Max next year, with Snyder himself dropping plenty of hints about what his four-hour cut of the film — which was initially rewritten, reshot and completed by Joss Whedon after Snyder stepped away to deal with a family tragedy — would look like. As fans have hoped, the trailer gives us our first brief look at the DC big…

Zack Snyder Gets Mad Online at Critic Over Leaked Justice League Trailer

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Earlier on Saturday (Aug. 22), director Zack Snyder beefed with Forbes film critic Scott Mendelson after the latter apparently saw a leaked copy of the trailer for the Snyder Cut of Justice League, ahead of its premiere at the DC FanDome event (a copy of the trailer made its way online that morning). Mendelson opined on Twitter, “So, that trailer for the Snyder Cut of Justice League looks like… the same movie? Lots of deleted scenes from the marketing campaign but otherwise it looks like alternate takes of existing scenes.” Snyder, apparently referring to remarks Mendelson had made about the…

Justice League: The Snyder Cut Will Be a 4-Hour Miniseries

New DVD release, , ,
Mythical. That is a word Zack Snyder and his collaborators like to use when describing Justice League and its lineup of superheroes. To be sure the character of Wonder Woman is inspired, at least in part, by ancient Greek mythology, but they all take on a mythic bent in Snyder’s mind, which he expanded upon during the DC FanDome panel for “The Snyder Cut” of Justice League. And like any good epic myth, Snyder’s vision for Justice League is meant to be long. Indeed, it was at the end of the “Snyder Cut” panel when the filmmaker revealed that the…

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The behind-the-scenes troubles that occurred during the Justice League reshoots continues to play out in the most public of ways. A week after actor Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg in the film, said on social media that producer Geoff Johns threatened his career during the production, the actor has taken to Twitter again to reveal WarnerMedia has apparently launched an independent, third-party investigation into claims of a toxic work culture on set. “After 5 weeks of interviews with various cast/crew, @WarnerMedia has officially launched an independent third-party investigation to get to the heart of the toxic and abusive work environment…

Justice League: Ray Fisher Claims Geoff Johns Threatened His Career

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Whatever your thoughts are on the final cut of Justice League released in 2017, it was clearly not the movie anyone onboard wanted, especially Ray Fisher. Indeed, the actor who played Cyborg in the film has gone on social media several times in the past two months to criticize the film and his disappointing experience in making it. He added to that story Thursday by tweeting a claim that DC Films executive Geoff Johns threatened his career in 2017. The alleged incident occurred during the lengthy reshoots of the film spearheaded by filmmaker Joss Whedon after director Zack Snyder stepped…

Justice League: The Snyder Cut Reveals New Steppenwolf Design

New DVD release, , , , ,
Even the most hardcore DCEU fan is likely to admit that Justice League movie villain Steppenwolf was something of a disappointment. Despite having the pedigree of being created by the legendary Jack Kirby, the big screen Steppenwolf resembled a washed out video game boss, stripped of any/all notable motivation in favor of his quest to collect Mother Boxes and…um…make bad things happen on Earth. Of course, it’s entirely possible that Steppenwolf was a victim of the troubled production of Justice League, which saw director Zack Snyder leave the project after a personal tragedy, and replaced by Joss Whedon, who stewarded…
