Zack Snyder revealed what Justice League 2 and 3 were supposed to be about. Who would die and what did the post-apocalyptic visions of Batman mean?Warner Bros. and HBO have been streaming Zack Snyder's Justice League on HBO Max for several days. So all Justice League fans could see for themselves how much better the Snyder version of the film is. We have already analyzed the article in a review, comparing the biggest differences, and we also stopped at the great Joker scene from the Epilogue.


During the premiere, several reporters reached out to the director and other producers, who revealed more about the original plans for Justice League 2 and 3. We'll probably never see them again, as Warner Bros. and director Joss Whedon changed the plot of the Justice League and steered the DCEU (the world of DC comics) in a completely different direction.Warner Bros. Studio and others also said that we would never see director Snyder's cut - and lo and behold, the reality is quite different in the end. However, Snyder points out that Warner Bros. sees his Snyder Cut as a detour from the main story. This means that the studio does not consider it part of the official time and story structure.



The original version of the Justice League therefore remains valid. If they wanted to return to Snyder's vision, they would have to redesign the story of the DC world and change plans for future films. But never say never.



However, during the interviews, Zack Snyder revealed his plans for Justice League 2 and 3. When the creators explain and reveal what they would do in the sequels to their films, 99% means that they will never be created. So we can at least enjoy what it would be.The Justice League duo was supposed to start with a happy life of heroes. Thanks to Batman's lawyers, Flash's father was to be released from prison, Aquaman was to become king of Atlantis, Wonder Woman would be queen of Themyscira, Cyborg would be a kind of king of the Internet, and Superman would live a happy life with Lois Lan.Then a Lex Luthor League of Negatives was to be formed, consisting of Captain Cold, Riddler, Ocean Master, Black Mantle, Dr. Poison and others. We have already seen the last three named in the solo album Aquaman and in the first Wonder Woman. This information comes from sketches released by one of their creators on the Internet. Warner Bros. Studio however, the images were deleted. This increases the theory's credibility.


The second was to continue with Lex Luthor looking for an anti-life equation, Anti-Life Equation, which they also mentioned in Snyder's film. Eventually, Riddler was to find her, who solved her, and as soon as he told Batman, he committed suicide. He blamed his death for a long time.



The following information is already official, as it comes from Zack Snyder's interviews with Vanity Fair and Deadline. Bruce Wayne was supposed to have many more scenes in common with Lois Lan in the second. Snyder originally wanted to combine them into a romantic relationship, which Warner Bros. banned.But they were supposed to have something in common, because Lois was supposed to get pregnant with him. In Snyder's version in her drawer we can see a pregnancy test. However, she was to tell Batman that the child was not his, but Superman's.



Lex Luthor, meanwhile, was to meet Darkseid and tell him that killing Lois Lan could do a lot of harm to Superman. Darkseid was supposed to kill her and break Superman completely.



Thanks to the Anti-Life Equation equation, he had to make him his hop and control the Earth with him. Superman then had to kill Luthor and win with the other villains.



It's also in the epilogue to Snyder's version. In that scene, we watch Batman, Meru and Cyborg, along with the villains Joker and Deathstroke, try to get Flash somewhere. From there, they have to launch their last attempt to save the world. The key is Flash, which has to travel to the past and warn Batman of what will happen.



Then Superman finds them eager to kill Batman. Batman was in charge of protecting Lois while Superman was fighting Darkseid, which he failed to do. So in Justice League 3, Flash was to travel to the past and warn Batman of what would happen. But they've tried it once before.



In the movie Batman Vs. Superman is a scene in which Flash appears to Bruce Wayne in a dream and tells him that he was right about Superman and that Lois Lane should be the key. At that moment, Wayne still believed that Superman was a threat to all of humanity. However, Flash's warning did not fall on fertile ground, and the situation when Superman turned to humanity was repeated.In Justice League 3, therefore, Batman was to advise Flash to change his warning. Flash was then to go back in time and tell Batman that Lois was lying and that the little boy was his, not Superman's. With this information, Batman was to gain the courage and determination to sacrifice and save the pregnant Lois Lan.So what are the hopes that we will ever see these stories processed? Probably just very slim. WarnerMedia Studios boss Ann Sarnoff confirmed in an interview with Variety that Justice League's Zack Snyder was the latest film in the trilogy of his DC films (Man of Steel, Batman vs. Superman, Justice League) and that they continue to make more films in the official version of the story.



Too bad she didn't reveal what they would do with Ben Affleck's Batman, who ended up in the role, or Superman, from whom Henry Cavill took a perhaps permanent break. So don't expect any of Snyder's Justice League 2 or the director's version of Suicide Squad, which fans demanded as well.
