In 2018, the news that Henry Cavill temporarily bid farewell to the role of "Superman" cast a shadow on the DC universe, and just as 2019 began, Ben Affleck personally confirmed that he would not star in the new version of the "Batman" independent film, and Warner would be a young actor to inherit the mantle of Batman.
Potential rising stars such as "Ace Agent" male protagonist Tallen Egerton, "Moving Labyrinth" male protagonist Dylan O'Brien, "Batman" actor David Mazoz in the American drama "Gotham", and Zach Efron, the male protagonist of "Song and Dance Youth", have become popular candidates.
According to previous news, the new version of "Batman" directed by Matt Reeves, the director of the "Rise of the Apes" trilogy, should not be related to the current DC expansion universe, but more likely to have a subtle connection with the "Joker" scheduled for October 4, 2019, so that there will be another "Batman vs Joker" drama, why not enjoy it.
However, after the rescue of "Aquaman", it is not excluded that Warner will use the new version of "Batman" as a prequel to continue to build the original DC universe, and ben Affleck and Henry Cavill are still possible.
As for zach Schneider, the director who single-handedly built the DC universe today, he has been completely reduced to an "outsider". Especially after director Kevin Smith exposed the plot of the original "Positive Union Trilogy" directed by Za, the hope is even more elusive.
Warner allowed this to happen, meaning they had abandoned zadao's original blueprint and had no need to come back to him.
According to Kevin Smith, DC Entertainment chief creative officer Jim Lee showed the story structure of three Justice League films, Darkseid and Green Lantern would appear earlier, Justice League 2 had a tragic ending, and finally the final battle between The Positive League and the Legion of the Apocalypse.
In this way, the "Justice League" trilogy designed by Za Dao is mainly an epic war between the earth and the apocalypse.
The biggest difference from the version after Joss Whedon intervened is that after Steppenwolf is defeated, the ultimate demon King Darkseid will shine on the scene, and will also meet with the heroes of the Positive Alliance, laying the groundwork for the "tearing war" between the two sides behind. In addition, it is reported that not only will they meet in the air, Superman will also have two moves with him.
Obviously, this ending is much better, even if Superman is so inexplicable, at least the audience can still have a little expectation of Darkseid. People familiar with DC Comics know that Darkseid is the "Thanos" on the DC side, and the two villains not only look similar, but also have a level of destruction ability.
It's a pity that Joss Whedon deleted this big Easter egg, the final appearance of "Avengers" Thanos was good, why can't Darkseid show his face?
Probably he didn't have time to understand Za Dao's original idea.
The Green Lantern's Easter egg has also been cut, which shows that Joss Whedon did not think about "Justice League 2" at all, he was just bent on making the movie more "popcorn".
As early as the trailer of "Justice League", in a mysterious scene of Batman butler Afu, his glasses reflected green light, and some fans speculated that Green Lantern would appear here. Kevin Smith confirmed this speculation that it was indeed Green Lantern.
It's just that everyone can't see it in the main film.
In addition, Superman's resurrection will not be so smooth. Fabian Wagner, the original director of cinematography who quit the film with director Zach Schneider, once said that Superman would have been wearing the classic black suit:
"I did shoot several 'Black Super' scenes, and the design of the suit exploded. Zach Schneider put a lot of effort into telling this story, and I've always loved his films. I shot a lot of pictures for the film that I was very proud of, and I was looking forward to seeing it in the cinema, but unfortunately it backfired. ”
The deleted footage that has since come to light confirms his words.
If it is killed by the "black super" and the second, steppenwolf at least loses excusably, and will not be so nested.
The plot of Justice League 2 is somewhat unexpected, not that Darkseid is about to invade Earth, but that the Justice League is attacking his Apocalypse Star, including the Green Lantern Legion.
Perhaps it is the same as the Hero of the Positive Alliance and the Iron Man Hero in "Avengers 3", instead of waiting for aliens to attack and turn the earth into a battlefield, it is better to take the initiative to attack and eliminate hidden dangers as soon as possible.
The Green Lantern Legion will undoubtedly play a more critical role, in the comics, they patrol the vast universe and maintain peace in the entire DC world, and it is very appropriate for them to bring more information about Darkseid in the movie, so that the Positive Alliance has the conditions to attack the Apocalypse Star.
The second part hit other people's base camps, so how to shoot the third part?
Za Dao had already thought that the Justice League's attack would not succeed, but would be beaten by Darkseid, and finally the earth would be lost.
Yes, this is somewhat similar to the situation of "Avengers 3", Kevin Smith's revelation is true, "Justice League 2" was originally "DC version of "Avengers 3".
An important reason for the failure of the Justice League should be the "blackened" Superman. His spiritual will is not fully restored, and he is eventually defeated alive by Darkseid, just like Thanos defeating the Hulk with his fist, which is a good demonstration of the power of the Great Demon King.
Or Superman is caught in Darkseid's counter-plot, the Justice League is infighting, Darkseid takes the opportunity to counterattack, occupy the Earth, and the "Dark Ages" come.
Many people have found in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that in Batman's "Nightmare Scene", trucks in the distance of the ruins come from the place where the capitalized Ω, Ω and monsters hint at Darkseid's invasion plot.
Unexpectedly, this is a "power spoiler" of Za Director, which is a real scene that will happen, probably in "Justice League 3".
And Superman is probably completely blackened.
In the face of such a total rout, how can the Justice League reverse the victory? The answer may be similar to Avengers 4, time travels.
The key character should be the Flash, who changed history through time, then "Justice League 3" can introduce the famous "flashpoint event".
Darkseid learns that the Positive Alliance is using the crossing to counterattack, and of course he wants to intervene, so the final battle of time and space is staged.
Unfortunately, all kinds of ideas can no longer come true, after Za Dao withdrew, the DC universe experienced huge twists and turns, and now it is finally stabilized by "Aquaman", and then, including "Thunder Shazam!" "Wonder Woman 1984" and other new works will be released one after another, after the failure of "Justice League", Warner is afraid that he will first launch a single hero movie one by one, and the plot like "Reunion 3" is temporarily invisible.
However, it is certain that Darkseid will still come, and it is only a matter of time.
Madman, that's what the mediocre called for great ideas that can't be understood. - Batman v Superman
