Or as the Joker puts it in a mocking sing-song in the #SnyderCut: “Poor Lois! How she suffered so!” The “key,” as Flash said to Bruce Wayne in Batman v Superman, is Amy Adams’s Lois Lane. Letting who die? The Second Justice League Plot
When Batman advances on him menacingly, Joker adds: “You need me…to help you undo this world you created by letting her die.” Joker asks Batman: “How many dead eyes can you look into before you die inside yourself?” That is to say, the Jared Leto Joker and the Ben Affleck Batman, they never really got together.” That’s the thing I also felt like fans deserved from the DC Universe. “It’s Joker analyzing Batman about who he is and what he is. “The cool thing about the scene is that it’s Joker talking directly to Batman about Batman,” Snyder said. He mentions the deaths of not only Batman’s parents, but also Wayne’s “adopted son.” That would be Robin, whose demise at the hands of the Joker was alluded to in Batman v Superman. That’s when Leto’s Joker pipes up about how vengeance has warped and weakened Batman. “I’ll stab this through his heart for what he did to Arthur”-a.k.a. But even before Justice League finished shooting, that Batman movie fell apart when Affleck withdrew from the project.īut who is “he”-Darkseid or Superman? “Let the bastard come,” Mera says, clanging the base of her trident against the concrete. This scene was originally planned as a post-credit sequence that would set up Deathstroke as the key villain in Affleck’s planned stand-alone film, as Manganiello explained in detail to Vanity Fair. Eisenberg gives him the critical piece of information that Batman is the alter ego of Bruce Wayne. There’s a short scene preceding this reveal that feels like another coda: Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor escapes from an insane asylum and makes contact with Joe Manganiello’s masked assassin Deathstroke, who is in an ongoing war against Batman. If the filmmaker had been granted access to Green Lantern for this cameo, the Swanwick reveal presumably would have come in one of his future Justice League stories. “The whole thing is that Swanwick, the whole time, has been Martian Manhunter,” Snyder said. In the #SnyderCut, this military character is revealed to be a disguise for this powerful figure from a neighboring world. military commander known as General Swanwick. Lennix previously appeared in both Batman v Superman and Man of Steel as a U.S. “They were like, ‘We have plans for John Stewart and we want to do our own announcement.’ So I said all right, I’ll give you that. Snyder expressed regret that the studio prevented him from bringing Stewart to the screen for the first time. Reynolds’s Green Lantern was another character, known as Hal Jordan. John Stewart ( with an H) is the character who took over the mantle of Green Lantern in the 1970s, becoming DC’s historic first Black superhero. Okay, but which Green Lantern did Snyder want to use? “It would be John Stewart,” Snyder said. “So I made a deal with them, and they let me do this. “We shot a version of this scene with Green Lantern, but the studio really fought me and said, ‘We really don’t want you to do Green Lantern,’” Snyder said. Originally, Snyder says, Martian Manhunter was supposed to be a different character. He congratulates Batman for uniting the heroes of Earth. The #SnyderCut Ending DecodedĪctually, it should be endings, plural, since there are quite a few of them.Īt the very, very end of the movie, Harry Lennix appears as the alien observer known as Martian Manhunter, who descends from the heavens to meet with the freshly awakened Bruce Wayne. He’s holding Batman’s cowl like the head of a slain foe.Īll of this is a prelude to the more expansive dream sequence at the end of #SnyderCut, but even that comes after two scenes that require explanation. In the background, Superman floats down to a broken stone archway emblazoned with the words “Justice League.” His eyes are glowing red embers, similar to Darkseid’s-an indication that he is being controlled by the villain through the Anti-Life Equation.
