Justice League: The Snyder Cut Reveals New Steppenwolf Design

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…

Justice League Snyder Cut Scene Reveals Black Suit Superman

The rise in anticipation for Zack Snyder’s Justice League, generally known as “The Snyder Cut” continues. One of the many questions surrounding the theatrically released version of film in the was why Superman’s journey from “rose from the dead on the wrong side of the crypt” to “actually this is pretty much the Superman we’ve wanted on screen for the last 30 years” seemed a little abbreviated.

Justice League: The Snyder Cut and 10 Movies That Did It First

The pop culture shattering confirmation that the “Snyder Cut” of Justice League has been willed into existence by a small cadre of devoted DC fans turned geek media upside down this week. It also raises a number of interesting, if troublesome, questions. While the theatrical version of Justice League that exists now is hardly anyone’s idea of a singular artistic vision–it was grafted together from footage separately directed by Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon–it still represents the best efforts of the filmmakers at the time.

Ben Affleck Reacts to the Justice League Snyder Cut News

The afterglow is still prevalent amongst the fandom after the long-running hashtag-hailing “Release the Snyder Cut” movement recently achieved its objective, with the formerly mythical version of director Zack Snyder’s 2017 DC megamovie, Justice League, now set for streaming platform HBO Max.
