Zack Snyder’s Justice League fan poster

In his Vero account, Zack Snyder shared the creation of another account that encourages fans to create their own posters for the ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’.  “What do YOU think the JL poster should look like?Zack want to see all YOUR best fan-made SnyderCut/JL posters ”That is the slogan, and that is what I tried to achieve in this work: to show how the poster of the Snyder version of the…

Movie Redo: Fixing Batman's Insurgency from The Snyder Cut

While I was not crying out for more Snyder content, I was surprisingly impressed with Zack Snyder's Justice League. Yes, it is a long, and a little heavy on slow motion, but it had a vision that in my opinion, make his first two movies better. I don't think I connect with it in the same ways other do, but clearly it invokes passion.

While Zack Snyder's Justice League brought closure to a lot of DC fans, it brought a want for more from a lot of others, particularly in its closing scenes involving the Knightmare.

This battle between Batman, heroes, and an evil Superman has been teased throughout Batman vs Superman and The Snyder Cut. While I don't think this will ever truly happen, I want to focus on one aspect of the film that boggled my mind, the team that Batman assembles.

Batman assembles of team of heroes and villains to fight Superman, which in theory is a lot of fun and should be a team worth rooting for. However it is made up of (mostly in hindsight) some problematic stars and questionable choices in characters, none whom I believe could actually defeat Superman.

I want to go through the DCEU and make a team of heroes and villains that I think 1) would join up with Batman 2) would be able to put up a fight against Superman and 3) would make for an interesting movie.

Stipulations for myself are no heroes introduced after The Snyder Cut, as Zack would not have had access to them. So sorry, no Blue Beetle, no Supergirl, no Black Adam. But any heroes and villains introduced before then are fair game.

I also want to generally keep the same types of characters that are on the team. Let's say two villains, two younger heroes, and two Leaguers.

First, let's look at who is staying:

Keepers

Besides Batman, I only have the one.

I think having a Justice League member who remembers what Superman was like and to have Batman's back is a great idea. While I do love the Barry and Bruce relationship in comics and other media, Ezra Miller is not a person I can stand behind nor do I want to see in more movies for a long while.

Ray Fisher was done dirty by Warner Bros and Joss Whedon. He is a fantastic actor and plays my favorite character in Zack Snyder's Justice League. Bringing him along as both muscle and tech support makes sense. And given his technology being of alien origin, he may have a chance of actually putting up a fight against Superman.

In this film, I want Cyborg to represent the hope for Humanity. He has been taken over by something terrible, like alien technology, and has overcome it. Despite everything that has happened, Cyborg still believes they can save the world, and Superman. I think it would be a nice change of pace for the character and keep him at the heart of the film.

Now let's go on to the fun ones.

The Villains

The DCEU has a surprising amount of villains to choose from when it comes to people who would join the team. While both Joker and Deathstroke are fun fan favorite characters, I think for this cast, we can do better.

While I love the idea of Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke, he doesn't seem suited for a fight with the Man of Steel.

Similarly, Jared Leto's Joker seems like a pointless nuisance at best. Having a crash wild card on the team seems fun, but wrong direction.

Let's start with the obvious pick.

Lex Luthor

If we are doing a world where Superman truly goes evil, why not get help from the man who has been saying he would the Whole Time?!

I'm not a huge fan of Jesse Eisenbergs Lex Luthor, but in the post credits scene, he had seemed to calm down quite a bit, and seemed closer to the Luthor we know and love.

I still don't know if he entirely would nail it, but having Luthor on the team adds that same level of uneasiness Joker does while adding competence.

Luthor could have a chip on his shoulder with a lot of "I told you all" energy I love. And with his strong knowledge on Superman, and maybe a mech suit, he'd be incredibly useful against Superman.

I think we missed an opportunity to further Luthor's involvement in this universe in a fun and interesting way, and he should absolutely be a part of this team.

Ocean Master

While I did love the inclusion of Mera, I did not love the inclusion of Amber Heard. Having a violent Atlantean out for blood and vengeance for Arthur's death is a fun concept. Which brought me to his brother, Orm.

My hope is in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Orm comes to an understanding and love for his brother. If that were true, Superman killing his brother (and likely the world's oceans) would put him on a warpath with Orm.

I think Orm is one of those characters elevated by the actor playing him, Patrick Wilson. And given Wilson and Snyder have worked together, I think the collaboration is in order.

I think Orm is a good middle ground between Mera and Deathstroke, filling out both roles all while bringing an angry, violent energy to the team.

Heroes

While there are quite a few heroes in the DCEU, I tried to pick heroes Batman has not interacted with, or that would join his cause. Let's start with the bigger ask:

Harley Quinn

If we want to match that chaotic Joker energy, Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn is the better way to go about it. This would be reminiscent of the Injustice Games where she goes good, following Batman's lead as his second in command.

She can represent how far both she and Bruce have come, having put aside their differences, even forgiving her for the death of Robin. While I know she's not the truest hero, we only see her as a protagonist throughout her films, and I'd like to keep her that way.

While I don't think she's the most useful in a fight against Superman, I think she still adds much needed humor to the bruting team. Plus, we can give her a Kryptonite hammer and boom, she's in the fight.

I also want a character who can annoy Lex with her presence. I think those two would be at each other's throats the entire time.

And Finally:

Shazam!

If there is one thing Batman is known to do, it's recruit a kid. While we can't have the Black Adam/Superman match up the Rock so desperately wants, we can have a more competent Billy Batson on the team.

As a hero with similar powers and magic at his disposal, Shazam would be the most capable in a fight against Superman. In this version, he has lost his Shazamily, and now hones the power of all of the Council of Wizards, making him the ideal foe for Superman.

Batman not having an absolute tank on his team in the fight against Superman is insane. Shazam serves as Bruces back up plan incase they run into Superman. While he doesn't truly believe Billy can beat him, he thinks Shazam could sacrifice himself and save the others in time to come up with a true plan.

Levi can add comedy but mix in drama and sadness of his lost family. Levi's acting is often underutilized in the Shazam films, and under Snyder we may get some absolute gold.

Having a powerful Wizard, an Atlantean King, a Genius, a Motherbox enhanced Cyborg and one of the best members of the Suicide Squad on a team together led by Batman gives us not only a colorful cast of characters, but the DCEU a fighting chance against Superman.

Except he doesn't die.

And now, he has an infamous criminal organization called the Death Eaters hot on his tail, determined to correct that mistake. Even worse, the group is led by a deranged kingpin named Voldemort, who seems to think trying to kill Harry is the best fun he's had in years.

Chapter Summary:

After a poor decision, Harry finds himself stuck himself in a room with the very man that killed him. Now, he must use all of his wits and cunning in order to escape, before the jaws of Voldemort's trap snap shut for good.

what is the point of putting out the final cut before the director's cut like why y'all trying to hang the editors for the producers' crimes lmao.

[thenotoriousscuttlecliff]

If the whole point of splitting the movie in a pair of 2 hour films was because he didn't want to produce a cut down version, why are they releasing 3 hour director's cuts for both parts? How did the 3 hour script suddenly double in length? This really is just a grift with Snyder. At this point it is clear he just intentionally makes really long movies he knows the studios will ask him to cut down so he can then start hyping his "totally better I swear" r-rated director's cut and get everyone to double dip. This was obviously his plan with Justice League. Even if he hadn't been forced out, there's no way WB would've ever let him release the four hour r-rated version he was making. He's so focused on the director's cut, he doesn't care what choppily edited version gets thrown out first. That isn't his "true vision" so it doesn't matter, even though that is the version that the majority will see and shape the general view of a film. This is just a terrible way to keep marketing and releasing films, even Snyder's own fans are becoming increasingly frustrated with this tactic and wish they'd just released his "true" version first time out.

Zack Snyder's Justice League - fan posters

These are the posters I made for the Vero event supporting the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement. Although none of these was selected by Snyder, I really appreciate the opportunity and motivation that this event gave me to do my best and achieve these posters. As with his films, Snyder continues to inspire me to make a better art, and I’m very grateful for that. Now that the Snyder Cut was announced,…

REBEL MOON (2023) | Zack Snyder Has Endless Movie And TV Plans For Rebel Moon: ‘We Can’t Really Hit The Bottom’

Zack Snyder has always thought big – and his original sci-fi saga will be no different. The director who curated his own corner of DC, who sent the heroes of Sucker Punch through multiple distinctive realities, and who saw a universe of stories that could emanate from his zombie tale Army Of The Dead, has a knack for creating expansive worlds that could pivot in all kinds of directions – and Rebel Moon is packed with potential expansions. The film originally began life as a Star Wars pitch; then it was picked up by Netflix where it became two movies, rather than compromising on a single three-hour flick; those films will now arrive in two forms, with additional harder-edged cuts to follow initial family-friendly versions. And that’s only the beginning.

As Snyder tells Empire, he knows exactly where Rebel Moon could go, with plans that extend far beyond these two movies. “When I pitched it to Netflix, the scale was a thing they wanted,” says Snyder. “They were like, ‘Well, how big could it be? How many movies?’ That made me go, ‘Okay, if we really do this, we can sink our teeth pretty deep into this. We can’t really hit the bottom.’”

He’s not kidding. The writer-director penned a 450-page Rebel Moon ‘bible’, detailing all kinds of lore and backstories pertaining to the evil Imperium. He has an expansive timeline that extends long before and after the two current films. (“This is the small board,” Snyder laughs of the version he shows Empire in his Pasadena offices. “The big board is over at my office on the hill. It’s three times the size of this.”) And all being well, much of it could end up on the screen – plans have been mooted for a TV series which would explore the history of Fra Fee’s Balisarius, the saga’s real Big Bad. And in a proposed third film, audiences will finally get to visit… well, the rebel moon. “The Rebel Moon is not the moon that they’re on,” Snyder clarifies. “The title was conceptual, but there’s a planet named Vanna, and Vanna is the rebel moon. It’s not even in one shot of this movie!”

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. For now, there’s just the small matter of creating a massive, two-part original science-fiction epic, corralling a vast array of mercenary heroes, hissable baddies, unusual aliens, and a mysterious robot, set across multiple planets, spaceships, moons, and more. Or, as Zack Snyder calls it, the basics.

Rebel Moon fans issue same complaint to Netflix about treatment of new Zack Snyder movie | The Independent

Might as well just call the Independent UK a Hollywood mouthpiece, too. After all, they did have Will Smith come out, trying to sell the Justice League Snyder Cut. That was over a year ago and here we are, with another excuse and an effort to drag out the farce that Zack Snyder is in fact, some sort of genius. If only we can just get to that extra special cut. 🙄

So this is how I discover they are making a HTTYD live action??

Anyway hard agree with op, but I also want to add: I saw the trailer for the new HTTYD, and they are doing the same exact movie??? Like shot for shot, same beats same lighting - could even be using the same footage with the actors greenscreened on top movie? why?

Before i got to the 'live action' part of the post my mind was racing because i had the thought, the glimpse - the tiny hope that a how to train your dragon book-faithful adaption was on the works. Talk about a let down.

the worst part about the people pissing their pants and throwing tantrums about astrid's casting (especially the one girl who got mad SPECIFICALLY because she doesn't have blonde hair and blue eyes (which. btw. do you have any idea how fucking weird you sound)) is that... i don't even want this movie. i don't wan't the new astrid. i don't want the new hiccup. i don't want the new toothless. I don't want the new anything. HTTYD was a fucking masterpiece and one of my absolute favorite things in my childhood and re-hashing it for a live action just feels like a cash-grab like every other Live Action Adaptation that comes out every three months. i'd love to just go "yeah i don't care" and move on and maybe relisten to the soundtrack or rewatch the movies if i feel so inclined. but noooo. people have to be fucking racist pissbabies like they are every fucking time this happens (MJ. Ariel. Yennefer and Triss. starfire. etc.) because their favorite character from "THEIR CHILDHOOD!!!!!1111!!!111!!" (read: a movie they haven't watched in ten years) isn't a redhead (they aren't white) or they don't look Just Like The Comics (they arent white) or they aren't blonde-haired and blue-eyed (they aren't white) (also. do you not fucking hear yourself right now???). so now I gotta get up and grumble and drag my fucking feet to defend the casting for a movie I don't even fucking want because y'all have to be fucking shitheads about it. can't even gripe about the actual problem of live action bullshit (movie industry oversaturated with remakes and live action adaptations and unnecessary sequels; animation continuing to be undervalued) because y'all are jumping to do your 17th "BUT SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE WHIIIHIHIHIIIITE :(((((((" temper tantrum of the goddamn decade that we're not even halfway through yet. fuck y'all
