Zack Snyder Shared First Footage of Superman Wearing His Black Suit in JUSTICE LEAGUE
Director Zack Snyder recently showed up during a Justice Con virtual event and while there, he shared the first footage of Henry Cavill as Superman wearing his black suit in Justice League in a scene where he meets Alfred. You can check out that clip below.
Also during the event when asked if he would use any of Joss Whedon’s footage in the film, Snyder said, "I would destroy the movie. I would set it on fire before I use a single frame that I did not photograph." Tell us how you really feel Snyder!
Anyway, here’s the clip:
During a previous interview, Snyder talks about his vision for Superman and explains why the version we will see in his cut of Justice League is the pinnacle of the character:
"I love the idea of Superman going on a journey with his character. I love the idea of Superman having to reconcile his morality, reconcile his place on Earth, reconcile love affair with Lois and how that affects the way he relates to humanity and all those things as we all do with the normal relationships we all have in our daily lives. So I think that when you see Superman grapple with those things, he becomes a lot more relatable.
"When I see Superman having to figure out what to do, I now can go like, 'Wow, if I was Superman...' Superman is such an abstract character, in his powers and what he's able to do. Anytime you can bring him back down to Earth, he becomes a lot more relatable, and for that he's more interesting. A huge respect for his moral code, and I think his ultimate place as the top of the pyramid of the DC superhero world. In the end he has to achieve that pinnacle."
Snyder went on to say that the resurrection of Superman was supposed to help the hero reach that pinnacle:
"I always felt like that was what I was doing. Now with the resurrection sort of theme, who is he now? When you touch the eternal, in the sense that coming back from the grave. How are we changed by that?"
The more that has been revealed about the Snyder Cut, the more interested I get about seeing it. I really hope that it ends up being everything that the fans have been wanting and hoping for. We’ll find out when it drops on HBO Max in 2021.
