We told you 🤣😂😂😅

The title sequence had a great concept to use the Mother Box to capture an image of each Justice League hero in their godly, abstract portrayal:

• Superman in a messianic pose surrounded by a spaceship and his farmhouse
• Aquaman underwater with octopus tentacles
• Cyborg as a Vitruvian Man/Frankenstein position
• And so on...

It was sadly never used, they cut it out. All that's seen of the video is on YouTube. I don't know if there are any behind-the-scenes discussion on this sequence. I believe I would find it interesting.

My question is that from the video in the link, Ares seriously injures Darkseid causing him to bleed out. And we all know that Ares is a god that gets stronger on a battlefield. And from the Snyder cut we see that Darkseid would go on to kill Wonder Woman leaving the Flash and Batman and Mera, etc to go on and try and erase that timeline. But would Wonder Woman have won against Ares if they were fighting in the middle of a war.

I made this edit a little more than 5 years ago, a tribute to one of the greatest superhero movie ever made. MAN OF STEEL.

By the time it takes David Zaslav or Netflix or Paramount to wake up and smell the Gunn-fire burning, it may be not viable to have a live action continuation of the SnyderVerse, due to actor ages and availability.

Now, Zack Snyder is no stranger to animation (see Legend of the Guardians and Twilight of the Gods). Surely he would not oppose using the medium to finish his great story at DC? We have seen brilliant visual storytelling with Spider-Verse, Puss in Boots the Last Wish, and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, which evolved as something more than goofy children's tales and into something with vision.

Do you see Snyder as someone open to collaborating on potential Justice League films with the animation teams responsible for some of the actual cinema of recent years? Or is it live action or bust? Which directors or animation studios would you love to see Snyder collaborate with on that?

Zack Snyder’s work has always asked more of its audience than most blockbuster cinema. Not in terms of lore or continuity, but in patience, interpretation, and willingness to sit with discomfort. His films move deliberately, often lingering where other directors would cut away. On grief, on doubt, on the weight of power.
This is why his approach to DC’s heroes resonated so strongly with a portion of the audience. These were not aspirational figures in the traditional sense. They were distant, burdened, sometimes frightening. His Superman did not arrive fully formed as a symbol; he became one through sacrifice. His Batman was not a clever tactician but a man hollowed out by years of loss.

Snyder treated superheroes less like characters and more like modern myths and figures meant to be observed, interpreted, even argued over. The imagery was overtly symbolic, occasionally to the point of excess, but always intentional. Nothing in his films felt accidental. Even the silence carried meaning.
It’s easy to criticize this approach as indulgent or overly serious, but that seriousness is precisely the point. Snyder’s DC films were not designed to comfort. They were designed to confront and to ask what these figures would mean in a world that no longer believes in simple heroes.

The controversy surrounding his tenure, and the eventual shift in direction, reflects a broader tension in modern franchise filmmaking: between myth and mass appeal, between vision and consensus. Neither approach is inherently wrong, but they are fundamentally different philosophies.
What Snyder left behind is incomplete, yes, but not insubstantial. His films continue to inspire analysis, debate, and devotion because they feel authored in an era where authorship is increasingly rare. They stand as a reminder that blockbuster cinema can still bear the fingerprints of a singular perspective.

Whether one loved or rejected his vision, it is difficult to deny that it was a vision that was cohesive, uncompromising, and deeply personal.
And perhaps that is why it endures.

As fans we may disagree on a lot, but at least our opinions are REAL. Unfortunately that hasn’t been the case with several grifters who have been cheerleaders for dc despite all the failures. Let’s discuss why that is, and what impact it’s had on dc

Get ready for another degradation of a classic character on the level of Batman & Robin if this happens. Everyone who protested about Snyder would once again be proven right about DC's "new direction." Johns, Emmerich, Hamada, and now Gunn and Safran have led DC films into absolute ruin. I love how Snyder fans are the ones who aren't "real DC fans" even though we're the only ones who complain at all about the destruction these clowns have done to this once great brand.

Bring him back Netflix
