Zack Snyder’s Justice League New Trailer Breakdown and Analysis

New DVD release, , , , ,
It’s been nearly a year since it was officially announced, and we’re now only a month away from its arrival on HBO Max, but “The Snyder Cut” is very real. Zack Snyder’s Justice League is apparently complete, and after months of teases we finally have a full trailer, one comprised almost entirely of unseen footage. If you haven’t seen it yet, you can watch it here… Now, in order to properly give this the analysis it deserves, we’re not going to go chronologically or shot by shot. Instead, we’ll break this up into themes, characters, and events, and try to…

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…

Zack Snyder’s Vicious Wonder Woman Photo Reflects Warner’s Early Internal War

New DVD release, , , , , ,
While the bellwether day-and-date HBO Max release of Wonder Woman 1984 left audiences divided, there can be no question that the sequel’s storyline reinforced writer/director Patty Jenkins’s vision for Gal Gadot’s version of the DC Comics heroine, reflecting ideals of compassion and mercy with pathological nuance. However, shockingly vicious imagery from an early concept photo displayed by the character’s first directorial steward, Zack Snyder, presents a stark contrast to her current ethos of unbridled optimism. The photo (see the article’s main image,) was prominently showcased by Snyder in the background of a virtual interview with ComicBook Debate, in which the…

Zack Snyder Weighs in on “Knee Jerk” Warner Bros. 2021 Release Reveal

New DVD release, , , ,
A couple of weeks back, Warner Bros. rocked the movie industry by unexpectedly announcing that they planned to stream all their big forthcoming releases on HBO Max on the same day the films debuted in theaters, starting with DC’s delayed blockbuster Wonder Woman 1984 on Christmas Day. With all 17 of the studio’s 2021 movies suddenly heading to HBO Max, everyone from outraged US theater owners to Tenet helmer Christopher Nolan reacted to the move, which was not mirrored by rival studio Disney during their recent Investors Day. Now, Justice League director Zack Snyder, who has recently been welcomed back…

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: 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…

Zack Snyder Reunites Justice League Cast to Film New Snyder Cut Scenes

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…

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…

Justice League Snyder Cut Trailer Revealed at DC FanDome

New DVD release, , , , ,
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…

Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead Replaces Chris D’Elia with Tig Notaro

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
Director Zack Snyder is replacing actor Chris D’Elia with Tig Notaro (Star Trek: Discovery) for his new zombie movie, Army of the Dead, according to Deadline. Reshoots are planned to incorporate Notaro into the movie since Army of the Dead has already completed shooting and is currently in post-production for a 2021 debut on Netflix. The move comes after D’Elia was accused this past June of multiple instances of sexual misconduct involving underage girls. The comedian and actor has denied the claims, saying, “I know I have said and done things that might have offended people during my career, but…
