Justice League has unfortunately become a case of fans continuing to see more and more of what could have been. The film's villain, Steppenwolf, sported a much different design when he was teased in a deleted scene from Batman v Superman, and while that design was carried over quite far into Justice League's production, it was eventually changed to more classic, armored figure.

Artist Jerad Marantz has posted a piece of concept art on his Instagram that showcases Steppenwolf's original design that is very much in line with what fans got to see in Batman v Superman's deleted scene. It's clear director Zack Snyder intended for a much more monstrous version of the character, though we may never receive a reason as to why the design was altered.

Check out the art below, and let us know your thoughts. Would you have preferred this version of Steppenwolf?

That was the design in BvS & in many leaked pre res visuals



I’m going to be honest; to clear that’s Snyder’s design & its [frick]ing terrible. I’m tired of grey cgi monsters who are just in the story to fight the hero with zero depth like Doomsday & Incubus from Squad.

It makes me happy Snyder isn’t in charge of New Gods because if this was an idea for his version of New Gods; it’s terrible. Like I don’t care if you are faithful to the comics but the New Gods shouldn’t be generic grey colorless alien invaders building a doomsday weapon to destroy Earth. It’s boring, it’s been done before, & the New Gods are more than that.

@TheFamousJMC - I’m all for it given she’s a big fan of Big Bartha & Mr Miracle

My only request is she enlists Mike Mignola for some concept art since he’s done New Gods work & is pretty much the closest thing to comics since Jack Kirby.

@TheFamousJMC - Hey, if she can handle the wackiness of Wrinkle in Time then she’s perfect for New Gods! I didn’t see the movie ‘cus I never liked the book, but… **goes to check Rotten Tomatoes** Oh. Oh no…

@somejackball

When has Michael Bay ever designed something that's looked like that?

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I like the one the movie used more.

@royale - "So at what point of designing Steppenwolf did someone say "We should make his chin look like a Fleshlight" ?"

I've seen better Concept art for Characters by various artists online than those that make it into movies.

Both Doomsday and Steppenwolf looked terrible.

@SimplyAz - That’s not official Darkseid concept art

ALL we have of Darkseid is a storyboard design that doesn’t go into detail
