Kevin Smith Reveals Zack Snyder’s Plan For The Justice League & Darkseid

During his Fatman Beyond show, Kevin Smith revealed details on Zack Snyder’s original plan for the Justice League and Darkseid before leaving the project.

After losing his daughter to suicide, Zack Snyder left Justice League during the post-production phase and Warner Bros. began making significant changes to the film, with Joss Whedon overseeing reshoots and the new direction. While we will never see Zack Snyder’s original plan for Justice League and the sequel, filmmaker Kevin Smith provided information on what Snyder initially envisioned that he learned from individuals who worked on the film and saw Jim Lee’s breakdown boards for three films.

According to Kevin Smith, Justice League would have concluded with a boom tube opening up and Darkseid revealing himself to the titular team. The sequel would have followed the team of heroes venturing to Apokolips and involved the Green Lantern Corps, with a source claiming green lights were projected on Jeremy Irons during the famous deleted Justice League scene (in which Alfred meets with a mysterious individual in the Batcave) to indicate he was speaking with a Green Lantern.

Kevin Smith then revealed the second Justice League film would have concluded with Darkseid defeating our heroes and making his way to earth, setting up a third film by making the Knightmare sequence a reality. The third Justice League movie would picked up where the second film left off as the heroes made one last stand against Darkseid.

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Directed by Zack Snyder, Justice League stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, Ray Fisher, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, J. K. Simmons, and Ciarán Hinds.

Justice League is now available on Blu-Ray, DVD, and Digital HD.
