Audiences will finally get to see the much-anticipated Snyder Cut in less than a month. The project was officially announced back in May, 2020, in response to a massive fan campaign. On Twitter, Snyder confirmed that his version of Justice League, clocking in at nearly four hours, would start streaming on HBO Max from March 18.
The official trailer of the Snyder Cut has dropped, followed by the release of three new posters titled Fallen, Risen and Reborn.
The trailer teased an epic Batman vs Joker showdown in the new unfiltered version. Earlier, Snyder told Vanity Fair, “Joker appears in the new film during a sequence set on a ruined Earth after the alien tyrant Darkseid invades and decimates the planet. It’s a dream sequence, a psychic vision, experienced by Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne that reveals what will happen if the superheroes fail to stop the onslaught. Joker is sort of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come, supplying motivation through terror.”

“In Zack Snyder’s Justice League, determined to ensure Superman’s (Henry Cavill) ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) aligns forces with Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions,” HBO Max said about the film.
“The task proves more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face the demons of their own pasts to transcend that which has held them back, allowing them to come together, finally forming an unprecedented league of heroes. Now united, Batman (Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and The Flash (Ezra Miller) may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad and Darkseid and their dreadful intentions,” the network added.
