It depicts Diana Prince, a.k.a. Wonder Woman, in the ruins of a temple and discovering what appears to be proof of Darkseid&#8217;s existence while an ominous voiceover intones that throughout the stars, the bell has rung and now everyone knows: &#8220;The god is dead.&#8221; The implication there being that the &#8220;god&#8221; the voice refers to is Superman, and now Earth no longer has its strongest protector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judging from Snyder&#8217;s tweet, it appears we&#8217;ll see at least a full trailer during Warner Bros.&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/atomtickets.com\/movie-news\/warner-bros-dc-fandome-virtual-fan-experience\/\">DC FanDome virtual fan experience<\/a> in August. It&#8217;s not out of the question that we might get an extended look at footage, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it was announced that the Snyder Cut is coming to HBO Max in 2021, reports at the time were clear that the &#8220;Snyder Cut,&#8221; at least as hardcore fans imagined it, does not exist. There is and was never a full rough cut of Snyder&#8217;s original vision for <em>Justice League<\/em>. Indeed, Snyder isn&#8217;t even certain this will be released as a movie or a miniseries. Instead, there is an awful lot of footage and an idea. Warner Bros. is giving Snyder another $20-30 million in order to finish VFX, do additional ADR and recording, and pickups and reshoots. That is not an inconsiderable amount of money, the equivalent of a low mid-budget film. It&#8217;s a hefty price to pay for a new version of a movie that already flopped in theaters, but if it draws plenty of subscribers to HBO Max it could prove worth the gamble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, it will be interesting to see what Snyder brings to the table when it&#8217;s all assembled. His vision, from what we know and what has been leaked online, was a much darker take than the theatrical release. That version was co-helmed by Joss Whedon after he took over when Snyder stepped away from the project after the tragic death of his daughter. At the time, Warner Bros. asked for a number of revisions and rewrites, and Whedon was left with the unenviable task of being caught in the middle of working with Snyder&#8217;s vision and pleasing Warner Bros. The resulting movie was more than a bit of a mess, with conflicting visions and Henry Cavill&#8217;s infamously poorly photoshopped top lip thanks to the moustache he was contractually obligated to keep for <em>Mission: Impossible &#8211; Fallout<\/em>. Whether or not Zack Snyder&#8217;s cut of <em>JL<\/em> will be good remains to be seen, but at the very least it should provide a much clearer vision and story than the theatrical cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll know more on August 22 when DC FanDome takes place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After years of it not happening, a global pandemic and Hollywood shutdown accomplished what multiple petitions and online campaigns could not: A few weeks ago, it was announced the &#8220;Snyder Cut&#8221; of Justice League is coming to HBO Max.
