JUSTICE LEAGUE Director Zack Snyder Reveals More #SnyderCut Details, Including Plans For Batman's Demise

Zack Snyder has debunked reports that the recently revealed physical evidence of the "Snyder Cut" was just an assembly version, while confirming Batman would meet his maker in Justice League: Part Two...

Justice League director Zack Snyder continues to add fuel to the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut fire, and most recently shared an image of the "Snyder Cut" which appeared to confirm that  his original version was 214 minutes long. However, when one online reporter claimed that must be the assembly cut (the longest, earliest possible version of a movie), Snyder made a rare Twitter appearance to debunk his comments. 

In the process, the filmmaker also confirmed that his assembly cut was nearly five hours long - that's nearly two hours more than the final cut, so he clearly shot an awful lot of footage. 
 

Answering some fan questions on Vero, Snyder dropped another bombshell when he revealed that he "always had that plan" to have Batman sacrifice himself in order to stop Darkseid in Justice League: Part Two. Unfortunately, that probably means it wasn't shot for the "Snyder Cut" of Justice League

Killing the Caped Crusader off would have been a ballsy move on Snyder's part, and it would have been a fitting end to his journey (as well as something we saw happen in the comic books).

@WackyBantha -
Batman looks at Darkseid and says, in his best Will Arnette gravel, "I'm Batman" and then snaps his fingers and poof!

Well even if they release it, its not going to be a complete story since they didnt do justice league 2 and even if there is an ending, its still not what Snyder wanted to do.

If it is released i will check it out but really doubt it will and with snyder gone, the dc films are back on track

These articles are just plain goofy at this point. Have we all not seen and experienced the masterpiece that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Did we not see Endgame? Why are we giving any more thoughts to this turd of a movie. It would have sucked regardless if he completed it or not; if the footage he actually shot was any indication. I feel bad for him... he's losing it as Kevin Feige collects his billions, casts Wolverine, and preps for Oscars. Instead of moving on so people can forget about this mess, he whines every day so we'll remember forever. Good God help us all.

The Snyder Cut and The New Mutants release will probably be the last sign of the apocalypse

@dracula - New Mutans will release. The insiders that leaked all the Netflix plot points and cancellations says the movie will release in April and it's a mess.

@Jeight8 - remember when we were all excited for it, then it was delayed to make it scarier because of It’s success.......yeah no wonder Fox was going out of business.

@dracula - Any movie that needs to be reshot at almost 50% is a mess. Rule of thumb. SS, fan4stic, JL, Dark Phoenix.

If the movie is great it doesn't need 3-4 months of reshoots.

Genuinely asking: is there any decision Snyder has made, that his fans haven't forced themselves to swallow yet?

They've made excuses for literally everything in his movies so far. Am curious what they think about Batman dying.

@Kurne - If they do release "the Snyder Cut" (or better, if Snyder leaks a version of it he's been working on himself), and it actually contains material Whedon shot (because the effects were already done or Whedon's reshoots created a necessary piece of dialogue or streamlining the way that the Donner cut contains Lester material), I would hope that that would be the final straw for the holdouts.

I know it wouldn't be, but for some reason that scenario feels like it should finally be the bridge too far to me.

I didn't even read the story, I just came straight to the comments to see who else was tired of these stupid articles flooding the news feed.

It's very easy to claim "bold" and "ballsy" moves after the fact for a movie that will never happen Zack.

Answer me this question? Your cut was test screened as it happens with every major comic book movie. If it was so legendary and epic why were the test screenings so bad they forced WB to hire Whedon and rewrite a chunk of your film?

Shazam and WW had great test screenings and were released unscathed. Aquaman had milding ones calling the movie "decent, but not great" but it was released as it was intented.

So why was yours reshot and rewritten? Maybe because test audiences hated it like they did with BvS?

How about we just wait for the end of the week and round up all the snyder cut crap into a single article

@dracula - because that would make too much sense you maniac

To quote David Brenner, editor of Batman vs. Superman:

"In the script there are more subplots than you see in the movie right now.... It was a lot to juggle. So the plot lines of a couple characters had to go. These people are currently in the movie but we don’t track them, and it’s okay... So what was once a nearly four hour cut with absolutely everything was ridiculous – ended up being about a three hour [ultimate] cut, once all these added storylines were refined with the fat was cut out."


Think of how much money and time and frustration and waste must have gone into that extra hour and a half of material that got removed from the theatrical cut entirely. And to have the whole thing still be utterly unsalvageable in the editing room. Think about being Warner Brothers when Snyder shows up with his big goofy grin because this time he has an hour more of material they're going to have to cut this time.

Now imagine being Warner Brothers and reading interviews with the Russos, who released an extremely tight movie just two months after Batman vs. Superman with many of the same motifs and themes, and Joe Russo says this:

"We've been fortunate, I think. We put so much time into the script process with Markus and McFeely, so we have an innate sense of how long we want the movie to be so we know when sections are feeling too long. We tend to make most of our trims in the script. Resources are incredibly valuable on movies like this, scenes can be very expensive, so you don't want to put your resources and your money toward things that aren't going to make it on the screen."


Obviously every movie goes through a process in editing, and not every Marvel movie is as well-oiled a production as Civil War, but that movie's rough cut was 2 hours and 40 some minutes and only lost something like 20 minutes for the theatrical release.

Snyder shot at least two movies, not knowing whether any of it made sense together and apparently without concern for how the pieces would fit in a theatrical runtime. So yeah, they turned to Joss Whedon to do whatever he could to fix this mess, because that's all it was by that point: a huge [frick]ing mess.
