Zack Snyder's Justice League will include this change according to the director

Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League is indeed coming to HBO Max next year, and the director is hard at work in releasing the version he wanted to present to fans and viewers before he had to step away from the final stretch of the project due to a family tragedy. Still answering questions over at his Vero account, the director did give one update - that he would be changing the "red sky" background back to the original blue seen in the original trailers of the film. That would obviously mean that he's saving the red for something big... Can anyone say Darkseid?

ICYMI: Zack Snyder’s shares Darkseid image from his upcoming “Justice League” cut

A week into announcing that the “Snyder Cut” is real and is coming to HBO Max next year, director Zack Snyder took to Twitter to share a new image of the big baddie himself - Darkseid - as he’ll be appearing in “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”. The scene - which is similar to the past battle scene that introduces Steppenwolf and the Mother Boxes - feature the Lord of Apokolips instead - and rightfully so as the character is the head villain of the DC Extended Universe.

Justice League Dark: Apokolips War ends the DC Animated Movie Universe saga

Billed as the culmination to a six-year animated movie saga that began with 2014's "Justice League War", Warner Bros. Animation is set to release the final chapter of the DC Animated Movie Universe with May's "Justice League Dark: Apokolips War" - which will see about every character from the Justice League and Justice League Dark unite to take on the forces of the fiery world of Apokolips and its supreme ruler, the New God Darkseid. As reported by Comic Book.com, following the adaptation of "Flashpoint" with Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox and then the emergence of films starting with JL War that were heavily inspired by "The New 52", it looks like WB and DC are going to begin things anew - possibly with a "Rebirth" after this is finished.

Justice League: Zack Snyder's cut is given the name "Zack Snyder's Justice League"; New stills show off more unreleased scenes

It's been over two years since Warner Bros. and DC Films released "Justice League", and there have been mixed opinions from the fanbase, critics, and viewers on how things would have turned out had there been no reshoots and full creative control by director Zack Snyder - who had to step away on the latter stages of development due to a personal family tragedy. Taking over some of the directorial responsibilities was Joss Whedon - better known for his work in Marvel's first two "Avengers" films in addition to "Buffy The Vampire Slayer", "Serenity", and "Firefly". To say the end result could have been more is an understatement, and while it was serviceable many have wondered how things would have turned out if no studio meddling and mandated changes had gone to tone over Snyder's vision.

Well a few years and some space in between can show us quite a bit of what could have been, as Snyder has shared over social media little bits and pieces of his unreleased scenes and stills from the fan dubbed "Snyder Cut". Now via a shirt/ hoodie released by "Ink to the People", Snyder's version of the film has a semi-official name "Zack Snyder's Justice League".

From featuring Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter's symbols in the jacket to stills showing off more Batman, Aquaman, Vulko (Willem Dafoe), and even Darkseid, there's no denying we wish we could see this cut - and how exactly Justice League would have played out if it stayed the course and retained its tone ala Batman v Superman.

One can only imagine and hope Warner Bros. decides to release this someday.

SDCC '18: Young Justice: Outsiders First Look Trailer released

Justice League: Darkseid was cut from original ending of film according to Kevin Smith

Justice League is already three weeks "All In" in theaters, and while it has passed the $500 Million mark in the Box Office it has received mixed reviews from critics and viewers alike. This has led many to believe that Zack Snyder's original vision of the film (if not changed by WB and adding new scenes by Joss Whedon) would have featured something pretty interesting and actually expected by fans - an appearance by the big baddie from Apokalips himself, DARKSEID.


According to Kevin Smith's "Fatman on Batman" podcast - the tyrannical ruler and wielder of the Omega Sanction was supposed to appear via visions seen by a resurrected Superman who briefly turns evil because of Steppenwolf's tempting offer. Unfortunately that never came to pass in the final release, and all we get is stories of what could have been from Smith - which was reported by Newsarama and Screen Rant as well. Hopefully in the home video release we may see those things behind the scenes touched upon by Snyder and crew. Until then, it's still a long wait until this DCEU film hits Blu-Ray, Digital, and DVD.

Justice League is currently playing in theaters.

DC The New 52: Green Lantern and New Gods "Godhead" event slated for October

It looks like there'll be no rest for the books involved in the Green Lantern universe, as not only do October solicitations for DC Comics reveal a new event is coming, but it will also involve the powerful New Gods and their almighty leader Highfather, who plan to tap into the emotional spectrum one way or another to take out Darkseid.

As revealed in The Nerdist and Comic Book.com, the new crossover series entitled "Godhead", a month long series that sees the entire Lantern Universe and the New Gods battling it out as Highfather seeks to get his hands on the seven rings of emotion to tap into the mysteries of the Source Wall and somehow use it to defeat his evil "brother" and lord of Apokolips himself, Darkseid. How this will affect the entire DC Universe in The New 52 is anyone's guess, but consequential is a start for sure!

Godhead begins with New Gods: Godhead #1 and spans the rest of the GL related titles this October. For more info on the solicits, see the source post at Comic Book.com.

First Look: Justice League #6 Preview!

With the final issue of the "Origins" saga coming this week, the first arc of Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's  run on DC The New 52's Justice League will finally see the fight everyone has been waiting for... As the league takes on Darkseid! To tease fans who are hungry for the final battle, USA Today has provided a 9 page preview of the issue, which is due in stores on Wednesday. SPOILERS of course are below, so read at your own risk!

DC and Jim Lee present... The New 52 Darkseid!

He has been called many things. Evil. Vile. Badass. Now, in light of recent events in the DC Universe with DC Comics' "New 52"relaunch, Geoff Johns and Jim Lee via their Justice League series are about to reintroduce a classic villain whose name demands attention... Darkseid! DC The Source has the first look of the evil warlord from Apokolips as rendered by Lee himself, and he's looking more menacing than ever!

The legendary creation of the late and great Jack Kirby... remade! Design wise, he still has his basic shape and look, but it's a new set of armor design, and it appears to draw some influence from his "Final Crisis" appearance. I'm all in favor of this new look for the man who would be a fearsome foe to Superman and the Justice League, and one has to wonder what scheme he'll be plotting in the coming issues. For more info and details, check out the source post at DC The Source!
