JUSTICE LEAGUE Cinematographer Confirms That Black-Suit Superman Did Appear Before Scenes Were Cut

Most of us expected to see Superman don his black suit when he returned from the grave in Justice League, and cinematographer Fabian Wagner has now confirmed that "quite a few scenes" were actually shot.

In the buildup to the release of Justice League, fans were given every reason to believe that when The Man of Steel was resurrected to join the fight against Steppenwolf, he would be wearing the black and silver costume the character sported in the Death of Superman comics.

Though we never saw an official promo shot of the outfit, several pieces of tie in merchandise displayed it, and even Henry Cavill himself appeared to tease the darker suit on social media.

Of course, we now know that Supes wore the classic blue and red duds he was in the last time we saw him.

Previous reports indicated that the costume was never going to feature in the film anyway, but cinematographer Fabian Wagner (Game of Thrones) has now set the record straight during an interview with Inverse.com:


“There were [quite a few scenes shot]. It’s a cool looking costume. Sadly we didn’t see that either in the final cut. Zack takes his time with telling the stories and I’ve always liked that about his movies. There are a few scenes that I was very much looking forward to seeing which unfortunately got cut.”

Something else that never made the theatrical release was a shot from one of the trailers with Alfred addressing a mysterious individual. That had to be Superman... right? Wagner is keeping mum on that, but he does say he loved the scene and hopes we all get to see it one day.

Justice League is in theaters now... sans black-suit Superman.

DC it's right there in your face, don't chicken out just because your cinematic universe is in shambles. Look:



We all know this after credit scene served as an introductory lead-up to the Avengers. The other films in Marvel's Phase One also led up to the Avengers, centering each film around a hero that would eventually become an Avenger. So, the Avengers is what I like to call a "master" and the heroes in the films leading up to the Avengers are what I like to call "tools". It's best not to ask why I use this terminology.

My point is that this:



Can be an introductory lead-up to DC using the Legion of Doom as a "master" with certain villains in the heroes' films leading up to a DC event film, where the Doom will team up. So instead of focusing on what heroes to use in service of a superhero team like Marvel does with the Avengers, you guys can focus on the villains in your hero films, in service of the Legion of Doom teaming up. Though it does seem like you're on that track now -- but don't stray from it and be reactionary. You set up something good.

Besides, you're already ahead of the curve with the villain team-up wave with Suicide Squad, as well as having villains that are just as interesting as your heroes.

@Brave - It'll take them like 6 years to pay off this tease though.

@Kevwebsz - as it should. They can rule the next decade alongside Marvel if they play their cards right and not rush.

@Brave - Sniff. I actually meant what I said In agreeing with you. They should take instruction from what you said if they are not actually planning on doing so. I hope that they are giving Johns enough power to be like Feige @ Marvel.
