Trailer of Zack Snyder's Justice League - Comparison With the Original

The trailer of Zack Snyder's Justice League has divided the fan community even more. From these less than 3 minutes of footage, however, we can draw many scenes that differ from the original directed by Joss Whedon. We present the most important of them.

It will be different, that's for sure.

DC FanDome has proved to be one of the most prolific events of recent months in terms of all kinds of announcements, promotional materials and trailers. Two new games were officially announced - Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League by Rocksteady and Gotham Knights by Warner Bros. Games Montreal. In addition, trailers of four upcoming movies were presented - The Suicide Squad by James Gunn, Wonder Woman 1984 by Patty Jenkins, The Batman by Matt Reeves and Justice League: Snyder Cut by Zack Snyder.

The trailer of Snyder's Justice League has caused by far the most controversy. Snyder once again approached the topic in his style and glued together a lot of new material. Every second of the clip was accompanied by a legendary piece by Leonard Cohen, titled Hallelujah. Anyway, see and listen for yourself:

We may or may not like the announcement, but there's already a lot of far-reaching conclusions to be drawn from the final shape of the director's cut version of Justice League. The first scene of the trailer is already striking, in which we can see Darkseid - the antagonist of the film, which we didn't see in the 2017 original (only Steppenwolf appeared there). Many fans ridicule the appearance of the character, comparing him to side opponents from Mortal Kombat series.

We also see a completely different atmosphere and colors. Snyder, unlike Whedon, focuses on making sure that every shot has some aesthetic value. A few years ago, most of the scenes shot by Zack were filtered through to make them stylistically coherent with the reshots that were created with completely different cameras.

It also seems that the director's word about developing particular plot threads of the most important characters will be kept. We saw new fragments of the film featuring Cyborg (who is to be the "heart" of the whole story), Flash and Clark Kent (namely his return from the dead). Moreover, we will return to Bruce Wayne's nightmare shown in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. And where does this all fit, you ask? It has been officially announced that the film will be released on the HBO Max platform in four 1-hour parts. And all this, of course, in 2021.

His adventure with journalism began with a personal blog, the name of which is no longer worth quoting. Then he interpreted Iranian dramas and the Joker, writing for cinematography journal, which, sadly, no longer exists. His writing credentials include a degree in film studies, but his thesis was strictly devoted to video games. He has been writing for Gamepressure since March 2020, first writing a lot about movies, then in the newsroom, and eventually, he became a specialist in everything. He currently edits and writes articles and features. A long-time enthusiast of the most bizarre indie games and arthouse cinema. He idolizes surrealism and postmodernism. He appreciates the power of absurdity. Which is probably why he also tried soccer refereeing for 2 years (with so-so results). He tends to over-philosophize, so watch out.
