But then there is the small business about WB being the ones to approve that whole idea in the first place...

And the fact they approved of a Bruce/Lois romance for the DCAU Batman/Superman crossover

Yeah, no defending that. To think if BvS hadn’t crashed they’d probably have gone through with that

Don’t think WB payed as much attention to the animated stuff in terms of oversight, but even if they did the Lois/Bruce relationship in the animated series was like 1 or 2 episodes before she found out he was Batman and long before she got together with Clark. This would have been getting together with the guy she first met whilst he was about to murder her boyfriend and then going back to Clark because he “needed her more”. Just ugh.

*Andrew NDB* · 03-13-2021, 03:25 AM

Yeah, they don't care about the animated stuff. That's nowhere in the stratosphere of JL, which was the lynchpin of their big DCEU plans. Everything depended on JL succeeding.

Just noticed ZLJL will premiere at 7 AM on Sky Cinema on the 18th. I've set my recording.

Unless they have it up to view on demand afterwards.

It's also repeated at 8PM, in case you sleep in.

And yeah, I think it'll drop on-demand on the same day, maybe even before it's due to air proper.

Not down to the luxury of sleeping in, but good I can still catch it.

I Know right.

One of the critics on twitter said some of the CG in the last half of the movie, "looks like something out of a Playstation 2 game."

Considering Playstation 2 graphics have been dated since 2006, it's kinda jarring to see that mention.

*frank_one* · 03-14-2021, 10:20 PM

People are gonna cry for a Justice League 2 after watching this.

‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ Initial Reactions: ‘A Miracle of a Movie’

The first impressions for “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” dropped on Sunday and if they are any indication, the “Snyder Cut” will be exactly what hardcore DC fans have been waiting for.

So what are some of the people who have seen the film early saying? Matt Neglia, owner of the Oscar race website Next Best Picture, called the new “Justice League” a “miracle of a movie” and “A four-hour epic with dazzling visuals, a grand score, more consistent character development & tone.”

“Justice has been done & Zack Snyder can be proud,” Neglia declared.

Yes, it's somehow true: Zack Snyder's Justice League turns Steppenwolf from a laughably thin/weird villain into easily one of the strongest superhero movies have seen.

Forget motivation, writing, and performance–I had a genuine emotional reaction. No, I can't believe it either. pic.twitter.com/1sFsrLJWBL

I saw Zack Snyder's #JusticeLeague. It's long, but also far better than the original. Fans, and those clamoring for the Snyder Cut, are going to LOVE it. Also happy for Zack Snyder, you can tell he got to make exactly what he wanted to make.

I'll say more another time. pic.twitter.com/OXf73vw11f

#ZackSnydersJusticeLeague does indeed exist, I seen it THREE TIMES now, & IT IS FREAKIN' AWESOME! I had an absolute blast watching each time & shocked at just how good it actually is and how well it plays! Action packed, it hits all the beats & that @Junkie_XL score is straight???? pic.twitter.com/UgFW1Le9kA

The #SnyderCut is phenomenal. Beautiful in its dark & cinematic glory. Everything I hoped it to be and more. This is the only Justice League we need. It surpasses the Whedon version in every way possible. Snyder grabs us by the collar & pulls us into an incredible world. Stunning pic.twitter.com/5Q9GCK2ryj

So, I guess I'm allowed to share my reaction to #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague. Folks, this is the superhero movie event of the decade. It's a completely different beast, and absolutely epic on every level. @ray8fisher steals the show as #Cyborg – SO good. #JusticeLeague #SnyderCut pic.twitter.com/zeIUoXJQec

#TheSnyderCut is loaded with scenes people haven't seen & are going to love. It is such a better movie than the theatrical cut of #JusticeLeague. Night and day difference. Saying that have no idea how this version could have ever been released in theaters. Perfect for @hbomax. pic.twitter.com/Fnamv6GcKj

If Darkseid is fighting Aquaman in the present (and that's what we're to take from that trailer, right? unless the Knightmare takes to the seas?)... maybe Darkseid DOES have a substantial part.

Do we have any idea who is playing Darkseid?

~~Leo656~~ · 03-15-2021, 12:15 AM

Ray Porter, they announced that all the way back in 2017 with the very first round of "So here's all the stuff that got cut" announcements. And in just about every single article from the past year they mention "Ray Porter as Darkseid".

~~Leo656~~ · 03-15-2021, 01:47 AM

I admit, I wasn't ready for this. The near-universal praise so far from both fans and critics, as well as HOW positive the reactions are, has me almost nervous.

https://screenrant.com/zack-snyder-j...fan-reactions/

Those tweets, too, though... many of them from critics. Mah goodness.

- "Snyder's best/most broadly appealing film"?

- "Not what you expect, no matter what you expect"?

- "Funnier than the theatrical cut"?!

- "Feels like it's 2.5 hours"?

- "A masterpiece"?

- "Fighting back tears multiple times"?

- "Will leave everyone wanting more"?

I confess, it almost has me nervous. Like it's almost too good to be true. Although some of those critics either did not like or have been very critical of some of Snyder's earlier DC films (I keep track of those kinda things), so if they can be won over, that's supremely encouraging.

Thursday can't get here fast enough.

I feel like the Snyder Cut movement has been so massive that people now think it's okay to like it so they're gonna act like they've been looking forward to this too and just totally love it.

Those positive reactions are cool, BUT....

1. Only "positive" reactions are allowed by HBO right now. I believe the review embargo as well as non-positive social media lift this morning. So if you want to get your name out with these early reactions, you have to put a positive spin on your tweet. Unfortunately this may explain a lot of the "better than I thought" explanations. It definitely explains the lack of a single tweet that reads negative.

2. People are way too entrenched in this film either way to trust they have a fully unbiased opinion. The way people fought for this - or against it - will most def influence a lot of these reactions. Many have already decided whether they like/love this or not, as we all know.

Like one of the first reviews I saw in that link literally has "Zack Snyder JL Associate Producer" in his Twitter handle. Another is from Grace Randolph, who, if you watch her channel, is clearly biased.
Not trying to rain on the parade, but it's true that early reactions are often not a reliable picture of the consensus, and this sort of thing is why

Certainly sounds epic going by the reactions though. I'm really looking forward to this.
