Screen Culturehas sharedaJustice League 2fan trailer that fulfills Zack Snyder’s vision.
The dark trailer sees Ben Affleck’s Batman as its protagonist. Bruce Wayne has a plan to defeat Darkseid and save the Earth. Five years have passed since Darkseid took over the planet, withHenry Cavill’s Superman having fallen to the DCEU’s Knightmare vision. There is a sense of tension that permeates the trailer, something Snyder always managed to accomplish through his DC movies. After fans campaigned for the Snyderverse to continue at Netflix, that is the home the trailer suggests forJustice League 2’s story.
What The Justice League 2 Concept Trailer Means
Zack Snyder’s Ideas For The DCEU Are Brought Back
While theJustice League 2trailer is fan-made, it takes inspiration from Snyder’s revealed plans for the DCEU movie that never was. In 2021,Zack Snyder explained hisJustice League 2plans. According to the director, the main point of the movie was thatSuperman would succumb to Darkseid’s Anti-Life Equation. With the world taken over by its ruthless new overlord, Ben Affleck’s Batman comes up with a plan that involves the Flash going back to the past to make sure things happen differently.
10 Darkest Marvel & DC Movie Endings Of All Time
Between the MCU, the DCEU, and standalone superhero movies, Marvel and DC have had some of the darkest and most impactful dark endings among films.
The fan trailer shows a crucial part of that story, with Henry Cavill’s Superman holding the body of someone who had just been burned to death. According to Snyder,Lex Luthor would have told Darkseid that Lois Lane was the key to turning Superman. to do that, Darkseid would kill Lois and then successfully make Superman fall to the Anti-Life Equation. TheJustice League 2fan trailer’s recreation of that moment is heartbreaking. The trailer also features the major final battle that would have united every world army to finally defeat Darkseid for good.
Our Take On The Justice League 2 Concept Trailer
I did not like all that Snyder did in the DCEU. That said, I always saw the potential his vision for the Justice League franchise had as an epic Elseworlds tale. With James Gunn’s DCU now replacing the old DCEU, I would not be opposed toSnyder’sJustice League 2happening outside the main continuityas a cool Elseworlds project. The fan trailer shows the potential the movie has, and seeing Henry Cavill’s Superman and Ben Affleck’s Batman in a full-on story with Darkseid would be exciting. Still, I don’t think Netflix could realistically release Zack Snyder’sJustice League 2.
