Zack Snyder Shares Another JUSTICE LEAGUE Deleted Scene As The Heroes Gather Around Superman's Coffin

@MosquitoFarmer -

in the thumbnail; gal looks like a very manly drag queen....

@AsgardianHobo - Cavill is off brushing his mustache (I think that might be a sex thing, brush the stache), and Affleck... he's probably taking the picture. With Matt Damon.

@Spock0Clock - Invisible, or is it?

@FromACertainPOV - Absolutely

@Spock0Clock - Because the DCEU is absolutely nowhere near having a commercial like that be acceptable. Its a full on lie lol

@Spock0Clock - Wow, that commercial seems to have been made specifically to offend hardcore DCEU fans in a similar way to how BvS has offended me. The DCEU and everything that comes with it is a peculiar beast...

@dracula -

1) It's a better story, definitely. And it pays off the Knightmare prophecy (implying that it's the future that would have happened if Lois drown herself in a bathtub or whatever). But...

2) After the first two movies, it's actually kind of hard to make Cavill's Superman obviously "mind-controlled evil". We've already seen him waffle about doing the right thing for two movies, and we've seen him apparently intend to kill Batman because Lex Luthor told him to. We've already seen Earth attacked by Kryptonians and seen half the world predict that Superman will do so eventually. Is it really impossible to think that Darkseid couldn't have convinced him to lead the attack on Earth? And even if you could convincingly get brainwashed Superman to that place...

3) ...Do we really want to see more of that? This would be the third film in a row where Superman is being kept from being the iconic symbol of unshakable good that he is for the vast majority of people since his inception.

To me, it's a mug's game. Superman is special. When we want to deconstruct him, spoof him, parody him, or comment on him in any major way, we invent a pastiche to serve that purpose, rather that try to redefine him to suit whatever a particular worldview or story needs him to be. He is the fulcrum around which the entire genre pivots. (And that's a really interesting thing, rather than being a "difficulty" with the character, it's an asset.)

Snyder's version of Superman couldn't handle a deep plot, a series of twists, and a real emotional journey because he was a weak and shallow character anyway. If they had tried to do this sort of story (and I'm convinced it was the original idea for the part one), it would have exacerbated problems, not solved them. Justice League as a film is a mess, but it's a handbrake turn away from continuing down that terrible road of madness.

@Spock0Clock - You make some good points, but it would be better than what we got, Superman's resurrection would have more of a reason to happen, than just we need him for the final fight. Sure it would be nice to see a full movie of comic accurate superman, but since he is dead, you cant have that since if they bring him back at the begining of the movie, then there will be even more pointless to have killed him off in the previous film. Plus doing the Legacy thing would still give us the same amount of comic accurate superman that we got in the actual movie, the final battle being the only part we got that

@dracula - Superman’s resurrection WAS the plot. The moment that became a possibility the entire movie became about him
