Synder cut1/2/2023 Now Manganiello returns as Deathstroke in the Snyder Cut, albeit in a different capacity than in the theatrical film. He was originally supposed to be a villain in the solo Batman film starring Ben Affleck, but obviously that movie never happened. Deathstroke Differences Joe Manganiello's Deathstroke was first glimpsed at the end of the theatrical cut of Justice League where he was recruited by Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor. All of this, plus Bruce actually mentioning his time travel moment with Flash from Batman v Superman to the others earlier in the movie, works in service of the “New Gods” trilogy Snyder had planned. Bruce wakes up from this vision right as evil Supes spots them all. Batman and a ragtag team of surviving heroes and villains scour the wasteland, trying to win the day while also avoiding Superman’s wrath. Most everyone has died in the wake of this attack, including Aquaman and Harley Quinn. So what does the Snyder Cut Knightmare segment contain? In the wake of Lois Lane’s death (which Batman failed to prevent), Superman’s somehow been corrupted by Darkseid and now serves him as an undefeatable annihilator. It makes more sense now to have a follow-up to the Dawn of Justice dream since fans would have complete context for it with the reveal of Darkseid in this cut. This particular Knightmare dreamscape was totally absent from Joss Whedon’s Justice League, which sort of left the Knightmare scenario from Batman v Superman in the lurch. Knightmare Cliffhanger The “Knightmare” part of Justice League’s epilogue gives us a lot to chew on as it, once again, shows Darkseid’s forces having succeeded in conquering Earth. The “we live in a society…” line from the trailer and Joker-as-Jesus photo released by Vanity Fair are not included. He taunts Batman about Robin's murder and makes everyone question whether it was a good idea to bring him along. He's part of a team of survivors that includes Batman, Mera, Cyborg, Deathstroke, and the Flash. Joker now appears in a new dream/premonition sequence set on the ruined Earth after Darkseid has invaded the planet (as seen in Bruce Wayne's "Knightmare" vision in BvS). funded for the HBO Max streaming presentation. Leto’s Joker was added as part of the additional footage that Warner Bros. The character wasn’t even someone Snyder had originally intended to include. Joker was a non-presence in the theatrical cut of the film. YES NO Jared Leto Returns as The Joker While Jared Leto's Suicide Squad version of The Joker was thought to be a thing of the past, particularly in the wake of Joaquin Phoenix's Oscar-winning turn as the character in a solo standalone film, the actor returns to the role for the Snyder Cut of Justice League.
