During the weekend’s Full Circle event, Zack Snyder was offering brand new insights into his plans for those abandoned Justice League sequels his followers remain desperate to will into existence, even if some of his ideas have already proven to be polarizing in theory only.
After all, the filmmaker who turned a jar of pee into a major plot point in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, bestowed the world with the gift of Martha, and planned to have Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne hook up with Amy Adam’s Lois Lane in the immediate aftermath of her beau’s heroic sacrifice doesn’t exactly have a 100 percent success rate, but his notion of turning Zeus into a Kryptonian and having Ares crash the scout ship unearthed in Man of Steel arguably takes the biscuit.
Another curious canonical development unfolded in the epilogue of Snyder’s Justice League, where we witnessed a tenuous alliance unfolding between Batman and Jared Leto’s Joker, something fans never thought they’d see in live-action. At Full Circle, the director explained his reasons behind the most unlikeliest of bedfellows agreeing to work together.
“Our theory is that he’s the one who knows where the Kryptonite is, what shards of Kryptonite exist. He has that information. And so he’s being carried… He has basically made a deal with Batman. ‘Don’t kill me, and I’ll show you. I’ll get you a tool to fight Superman.’ And so [Batman] is kind of stuck with him, in that way. If he kills him, or gets rid of him, then he’s screwed himself.”
The Dark Knight and the Clown Prince of Crime fighting side-by-side would have been a fascinating development to say the least, but one that still possessed the capabilities of adding yet another divisive wrinkle to the never-ending SnyderVerse discourse.
