i want you to hit me as hard as you can
ever since the release of justice league in 2017 fans have wanted to know what the zack snyder
version of the movie would have been like man of steel and batman v superman had received mixed
reviews some despised zack snyder's taking the material while others absolutely adored it while
still credited as director fans know schneider had very little to do with what originally hit
theaters having stepped down at one point due to a variety of reasons including a horrible family
tragedy that we won't go into here and big creative battles with the studio joss whedon
stepped in and i'm sure it all seemed like a great idea at the time after all whedon had long been a
fan favorite director for his work with buffy the vampire slayer firefly and leading the avengers to
box off his glory over at marvel studios who could possibly be better to help the justice
league finally make the debut on the big screen well it turns out anybody would have been better
while the film still did respectable business fans were extremely unhappy with the final project
and even later word began to circulate of trouble on the set of the whedon led film particularly
from ray fisher who played cyborg a character everybody knows by now was sidelined in the film
fans began to clamor for the original vision zack snyder had for the film and the hashtag release
the snyder cut was born warner brothers seemed reluctant to even acknowledge that such a thing
existed repeatedly they said that snyder never got that far into the film and that financially
it would be too expensive to try and assemble such a thing but surely nothing could ever make
the release of the film a reality saying it out to theaters would be costly and really would film
goers go to the theaters to see a movie that had just come out a few years earlier all over
again welcome hbo max to the table the streaming wars had begun heating up in the last few years
netflix seemed to have a firm hold on the market while companies like hulu and amazon primed
entered the field even with this competition netflix still rained but soon disney threw its hat
into the ring and was followed by warner brothers seeing the success of hbo go they decided to
try their hand at a full-fledged warner brothers streaming service pulling on the various libraries
they owned they set out to compile content and add new properties exclusive to the new streaming
service hbo max one that no one seemed to count on was the snyder cut of justice league seeing it as
an opportunity to bring a lot of subscribers to the soon to be launching platform warner
brothers green left the release of the snyder cut more money was allocated to allow snyder to shoot
a handful of new scenes as well as overhaul the visual effects of the movie release the snyder cut
against all odds had worked when they announced it would be coming to hbo max fanboys rejoiced
but how long would the wait be while they kept teasing it was coming they were reluctant to give
it a release date until finally in january 2021 it was announced that fans only had to wait two
more months now here we are the snyder cut has been unleashed upon the world and while there's
still the question of whether it's the justice league movie everyone wanted the actual film
seemed to leave things pretty open-ended while snyder has said that wanna brothers wanted to
cul-de-sac the film so that it was a one-and-done experience he instead ended it how he originally
intended maybe even more open-ended than he had originally planned to be honest after the movie
was released the hashtag released the snyder cut morphed into restore the snyder verse could snyder
have purposely left the film open to almost force warner brothers to continue his planned story
arc holy snyder knows for sure but with how he's been talking he doesn't seem to think that wanna
brothers is planning on moving forward with any of his sequels during numerous interviews he laid out
his plans for the next two justice league films as seen in batman v superman the groundwork had
been laid for a dystopian future where batman was forced to fight for humanity's survival
during batman v superman we saw batman in a desert location being captured by parademons and taken to
a stronghold where superman shows up and unmasks him just as things look the most grim for bruce
he's awakened by a blinding light as barry allen the flash appears to tell him that lois lane is
the key before he disappears at the time this all seemed kind of weird and kind of misplaced neither
event had actually played into the story of the film so why was lois the key to defeating superman
i mean that was batman's goal all the way through the movie and audiences always tend to grow at big
scenes being shown to be owning a dream what was this appearance by barry allen up to this
point the character hadn't even been mentioned in the film well most comic book fans are used
to seeing barry allen time travel for the casual moviegoer they had no idea if this was supposed
to actually mean something it only made them more confused and wonder if they missed something at
the beginning of the film after seeing the snyder cut it made a lot more sense as to where the story
was heading in the snyder cut we see a lot more of the groundwork set by snyder to get us into this
future lois is able to calm the resurrected clark before he destroyed the rest of the justice league
then in a scene that had been hyped for months we get another glimpse into the future again we're
presented with batman and his desert gear but now we know that darkseid has been heading to earth
to take it over this time we get to see that he assembled a ragtag group of heroes and villains
to take the fight to an evil superman for justice league 2 we would have been put into the nightmare
reality darkseid came to earth ready to battle the world's heroes and define the anti-life equation
with this he can control anyone he sets his sights on upon arriving the ever losing lex luthor would
buddy up to darkseid in an effort to get rid of the man of steel he would tell him the key to
superman's weakness is to kill lois lane with her gone he would be so brokenhearted that he would be
susceptible to the anti-life equation and would be dark sides to control with superman at his
side his taking of earth would be unstoppable lex seems okay with total domination as long as the
kryptonian was defeated whether he would be okay with superman taking over the world the dark side
side is unknown the speculation would be that lex would feel duped instead of the man of steel dead
he was now ruling the planet this didn't seem to align with what lex would want since usually his
goal is to be in charge with superman now roaming the planet to make sure there's no uprising that
would displead darkseid lex's greatest fears would have actually come true when the justice league
comes together to confront darkseid superman tells batman to protect lois with his life
when darkseid's minions come for batman he fails to save her snyder had said that the plan would
have been for them to have gotten into an argument had been separated the reason for this argument
would be that during the time clark was dead he had actually fallen in love with lois snyder
did say that warner brothers had nixed the idea so who knows what we would have gotten instead
lois is killed and as predicted darkseid uses the anti-life equation to put superman under his
control batman has now put together a new justice league consisting of barry allen deathstroke as
played by joe manganello cyborg mira and of all people jared leto's joker after acquiring the
mother box the goal would have been to send barry allen back in time using the item here he could
help fix the timeline and keep superman on the hero's side during the battle with darkseid it
would have ended on a big downer with only a small hope of everything turning out okay for the third
justice league movie it would have picked up where part 2 would left off barry had been sent back to
try and prevent lois from dying this is where the scene from batman v superman would have come full
circle it turns out barry overshot when he was trying to land after jumping ahead to the correct
time talking to bruce he understands his mistake and does everything he can to keep lois safe
this leads to batman sacrificing himself to save lois from this point forward everything we'd seen
changes aquaman leads a charge of atlanteans to the surface wonder woman gathers the amazons and
superman leads the humans in an all-out battle to save the planet the world is united against
darkseid and now the justice league does truly represent the world in their efforts to fight
justice some of the things snyder teased with that would see more of the new gods in the snyder
cut we got a glimpse of granny goodness but big bartow was named dropped to have played a role in
the third film he likened the third movie to a new gods invasion film at the end of the battle with
darkseid we would have seen that clark and lois would have had a son best was teased in the snyder
cut with the pregnancy test being seen in the last shot in honor of batman's sacrifice they would end
up naming him bruce on the 20th anniversary of his death they were going to take bruce kent to
the bat cave to show him whose namesake really was this alludes to bruce kent taking up the
batman mantle in the future would this have been a satisfying trilogy or five ology if you include
band of steel and batman v superman sadly we'll never know some of the action sequences probably
would have been pretty good kevin smith did allude to a conversation he had with snyder
that would have seen a larger battle on apocalypse between new gods and the green lantern corps this
finally would have brought modern-day lanterns into the dc eu thus far they had only been shown
flashbacks to previous battles with dark side or quick glimpses in the nightmare scenes originally
the cameo by martian manhunter at the end of the snyder cut was meant to be jon stewart
wb again nixed this the only reasoning could be that they didn't want to debut any green lanterns
before the upcoming hbo max series hitting in 2022 if warner brothers decides to go for more snyder
vs movies it will have to be seen if they keep the story lines that snyder had now put on the
internet while it would be easy to say that this will never happen we also thought that getting the
snyder cut of justice league would never happen if there is money to be made warner brothers
could easily change their minds and make another hbo max exclusive series of films the bolstering
of subscriptions to hbo max seems to be something they are keen on keeping going so what better way
to keep people subscribing than churning out films and series that already have a dedicated fan base
for now though these sequels will have to live through the storylines that snyder has put forth
a battle for a planet between the mighty heroes of the justice league against the all-powerful
new gods if that's not enough there's always room for more stories or discovering old stories in the
comic book pages these characters were born on they're our favorite characters we'll never age
never die and always triumph in the end which is something we could all use right now anyway thank
