My father believed that if the world found out who I really was, they'd reject me out of fear. He was convinced that the world wasn't ready. What do you think? ~ Superman, Man of Steel (2013).

It's funny that the trailer for Zack Snyder's Justice League already has a "hopeful and optimism" feeling with Batfleck's line in the end..while Josstice League barely feels "hopeful and optimism" with cheesy and forced jokes

"i am also a big fan of justice" - still makes me cringe to this day

It is a good thing the studio did not interfere with Nolan's vision for The Dark Knight trilogy.

All the haters who say why are they releasing this movie, need to watch this! Amazing. Thank you so much for the research.

Batmans intro in JL2017 is hilarious as shit. They tried to copy Zacks style and failed miserably.

We fans need to be excited for Zack Snyder’s Justice League! Snyder is a great guy! We will help him finish his Superman story arc: Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition), and HIS Justice League trilogy!!

Zack Snyder fully understands the characters he is working with its just that people don't understand Zack Snyder. But to a lot of haters this is the other way round.

Bvs was the greatest expansion of a cinematic universe ever.batmsns perspective during the events of man of steel being shown was amazing , wonderwoman was the greatest introduction of any supehero to a cinematic universe ever, and then when they showed auqoman flash and cyborgs videos on the computer, amazing.

It's unfortunate that you didn't mention that WB had a half hour chopped out of BVS...They put out a butchered product

This is why My hatred for Geoff Johns is like Doomguy's hatred for Demons. Unyielding an incorruptible, he should have stayed his ass out of the movie studio and just write comics.

I'll stand by Snyder's side forever, he did so much to give us the movie that we deserve as DC fans

Wow. I didn't know John's rewrote the Third Act of Wonder Woman. To me, the Third Act was the worst part of the film and felt so unconnected. It all makes sense now...

getting superman house in order such a powerful statement. love this man

Also, I heard that Zack managed to trim it down even further from 214 (3 hours and 34 minutes) to 140 (2 hours and 20 minutes) before he stepped down. Why the studio was still unhappy with that is anyone's guess. I mean, Man of Steel was 2 hours and 23 minutes. Before that, The Dark Knight Rises was 2 hours and 45 minutes. When you release a superhero movie that's that long, what's 2 hours and 20 minutes really?

Give me a bad director’s film over a committee film any day of the week. I don’t care if it’s good or bad, as long as it’s the true vision. I still can’t get over that they used the same particle overlay you find for free on a 300 million dollar movie (23:02). I used that collection for my student film because I was handling everything on my own.

Fun fact:The Parody of Justice League came out before THE ORIGINAL JUSTICE LEAGUE NOW.THAT.IS.HISTORY.

Coming from myself, a Marvel and MCU fan, what Geoff Johns did to Zack’s vision is an embarrassment. And say what you will about Kevin Feige, but he would never step on a director’s passion like that. It’s like you said, Johns is the poor man’s Feige. Sure Marvel is happier and more hopeful in tone, and that works. For Marvel. The whole point of DC is being different, unique and separate from Marvel. I’ve always had a love for DC even if I’ve always liked Marvel a bit more. Batman is up there with Spider-Man to me in regards to the best superheroes in history. I’m very much looking forward to Zack’s Justice League as much as I’m looking forward to the MCU’s next movies and their next saga. I love their overarching connection to a big saga finale, but I also absolutely love Zack’s self-contained Superman story that can introduce us to other DC character stories by having them be supporting roles first. It’s different and can definitely work if you keep messy grubby studio hands out of it. Change is good. DC doesn’t have to copy Marvel to compete. They definitely could have, and sure, it may have been good that way too, but being new and different is always better, and more refreshing, so a guy like me, can have Marvel and DC doing their own thing, and loving both equally. From an MCU fan to the DCEU fans here in the comments, I’m glad we’re getting the Snyder Cut, and I’m looking forward to watching it with you all. ❤️💙

Really wish johns have the balls to said that he ruin dceu.....and together with berg,whedon tsujihara and all those exce get all the justice for the crime that they did in this movie...

Its now clear Geoff Johns was the problem!!

One of the best break down videos around this subject I've seen. Brilliant. Still can't bring myself to watch the Batman 'smile' when Supes comes back.

Once the snyder cut is out can you try and get Zack to do a live watch of the theatrical cut? Hahaha the reactions would be gold

Imagine if this cut does well enough so it can be displayed as canon.

WB's loss. Netflix is going to eat from Zack Snyder's steak, they gonna be fat as f. They will want more and dude is a creative genius to meet / surpass their needs. Imagine having a once in a lifetime visionary like this in your pocket and constantly undermine him. 🤦 just mind boggling.

Awesome essay, my man ! 1. I think that *My Turn* may stay in Zack's final cut. But who knows, maybe I'm wrong. 2. Can't wait for 2021. I'm all in for the mini-series, single film and Noir Edition. 3. Hope we get a season 2 ! 4. For Season 2 to happen, *HBOMax and AT&T needs the bucks !* Tweeting and voicing your demands in social media only won't do the job. *Zack Snyder's JUSTICE LEAGUE needs to be a big success* then those execs at AT&T and WarnerMedia will see the potential for the second season, which will bring the big guns and will entertain the fandom as well.

Great breakdown, Garza. Showing a timeline for events and also how the business and financial aspects influenced things, which is something certain parts of the fandom either didn't want to think about or gave no notice to, other than to sh!t on you, Dave, and Colbert. Really glad you all got the opportunity to speak to Zack, kind of the best mic drop for you all and you didn't have to say a word. Keep up the great content!

Geoff "Judas" Johns

wow....i may not be a fan of Snyder but WB really should've at least let him complete his universe with JL

- The biggest event in cinema history -

All I can say is Zack must've been grateful to have fans that always has his back no matter what.

If there’s a JL “season 2” or part 2 and they do it in four parts. Do you think they’ll release it as a film after also? Just like how they’re doing it with ZSJL?

Best video out there that explains this story. Nice work.

I've never watched justice league. The clips from the Joss version literally made my eyes tear. Some sorta chemical reaction, defense mechanism

11:34- "I don't need signs. I got proof." Put that on a T-shirt now, Garza.

Both David Ayer and Zack Snyder were casualties of studio greed and studio incompetence. It's the Marvel/Disney formula, the constant hiring and firing of talented film makers, because the intention is not making cinema. The intention is to sell products. Most the MCU movies, up until now are 2 hour trailers for other coming up 2 hour trailers

That was awesome work Garza & Co! Loved every second of it... This is definitely the biggest cinematic event of 2021... Cheers guys!

13:50 Sorry for the many different comments, it's just that your video is really fascinating. Those photos really make me feel bummed that Rick Famuyiwa never got to do The Flash, I don't know how he is as a director, but I remember how much he was sharing his enthusiasm and research on the character to give the movie preparation, and he was really digesting a lot of Flash memorabilia. It's just depressing to go see those photos back again, and realizing how many broken promises WB tried to make.

Seeing Zack talking about how introduce JS after MoS while in the back sounding Hans Zimmer's Beatiful Lie, man i teared. The dude passed for some serious shit, people bashing him for his work (like it or not but never take that to a personal level) and his family tragedy (there are some sick f*uckers out there who mocked him for that too) but he stood up.

Hey if Geoff Johns wouldn’t have done what he did with Whedon and theatrical cut, we wouldn’t be getting a 4 hour un compromised Justice League. We would’ve just gotten the 214 Snyder Johns cut. So in reality this all happened for a reason.

Brilliant expose! Finely crafted and reported. I’ve loved these characters for along rime. I’ve admired a great deal of Zack’s work. I’m so glad that we get to see his vision! Not everything needs to be Marvel-ized!

Snyder is like a shy Nolan, both literally and thematically. Nolan takes his time when talking and gets out what he needs to say, but Snyder stumbles over his words and you get an idea of his point, buts blunt. Same for stories.

Fun fact that man of steel prequel comic with supergirl also involved Johns. Snyder denied Supergirl ever being in that ancient scout ship. And has been very stern on there being 1 person to escape the scout ship see that man of steel Vero commentary at 45:13. Yet dc put out a weird Wal-Mart tie in comic that supposedly connected with the film. One that still has fans confused with how Supergirl really could be applied, casts doubts about man of steel as an origin story, and could be a reason why no ones quick to jump on that project due to confusion.

This is perfect man! You explained it really well. I already see 1 dislike, from a Geoff Johns fanboy I guess.

Damn Jon... You got me raising my fist 👊... Bruh

This video made my day. Thank you so much.

the ass shots and Barry landing on Diana were weird as hell... so glad Zack came out with a triumph and respect for the characters.

20:05 it’s weird knowing that 2 out of all the scenes he showed weren’t in the movie, but the ones that were in ZSJL were actually the better and way less awkward quips.

All of the great producers are there on the credits. I'm so happy.

another good meal for thought while waiting for Snyder's Justice League 🤘 I look forward for more.

we need more of this garza!!

Awesome video man. Really worth it during my lunch break just now! I didn't know about the whole zack making the johns movie and ALSO his own movie. Shows how he was 10 steps ahead of them

Awesome video essay buddy! Here's to ZSJL Season 2 indeed!

I would love for them to let Zack Snyder finish his original story Idea of those 10 films if possible, then they could go the MCU route if they want with more villains and characters, but I want to see Zack's completed vision with not just Justice League but the other films he had planned for it and Justice League Part 2 and Part 3 I'd love to see all 10 of those films then DC & WB could do what they want with these characters after. At the very very least I'd like Zack's Justice League story to be finished but the whole story was supposed to be told with 10 films and we'd miss out on a lot of plot points for Justice League Part 2, and Part 3 if we skipped the other 3 films in-Between, so I really hope the Zack Snyder Cut of Justice League does well so we can convince WB and AT&T to at least finish Zack's story with his Idea.

Thanks man. This is perfect. Wanted this video for some time

Hopefully it lives up to the hype and we get part two & three

I see a Jon Arryn Garza video on Justice League. I like. Thank you Jon for all the content on the Snyder Cut from way back till now.

This was so well put together, thank you.my only criticism is that your V.O. audio is so much louder than the videos. But it's still amazing.

Wonderful video. I was aware of some of these things but damn they really did Synder dirty. But ay things in the dark always come to light. You’ve earned a subscriber.

Im all for the 4 hour series but the entire thing BETTER COME TO BLURAY. I want to OWN this. Not rent it on a stupid service.

In hindsight everything turned out to be Great,the dots can only be connected looking backwards!

Perfect essay man! Zack won 🙌🏻❤️

That Lex theme chimed in at the perfect point in this video I see you homie 💪🏽 GREAT VIDEO!!!!!

Basically sums up what ive seen, heard and experienced through the years since 2012. Zacks opinion on DC keeps it own pace and track compared to MCU sticks true since MoS. Pre at&t WB shouldve just trust the directory from the movies, i thought it was a great idea, was looking forward to the flash, affleck Batman and Wan's non-mcu styled Aquaman. Imagine amazing movies we could have now., with their own stories.

What an utterly bizarre interview clip at 10:25. It's like the guy is physically incapable of seeing that the MCU also tries to do the exact same thing he is criticizing Zack of doing, specially in the first movies. The dude just goes into immediate denial mode.

wow. this was a great analysis video. thanks for posting this. i didn't realize some of those 'funny' lines from the trailers were johns and whedon rewrites. i thought it was Zack & Chris Terrio stuff.

Nicely done Garza, you da man.

What a thorough analysis of the events. Awesome work my friend.

Best video on the story of ZSJL.

As always great vid jon 👍. You deserve more views bro.

Brilliant. Thank you. Can’t wait for Sunday

Dude, thank you for explaining. I already knew the story, but at least there's a video that I can share.

1- I wanna say thank you for posting that on KZfaq and make that KZfaq. I really love dc universal 2- now I understand zack is legend I hope he will make the dc movies more and better.

So where was Christopher Nolan when it all went wrong?????

I was thinking John's would still get royalties, though? I think the script was semi-based on the Justice League: Origins book he did with Jim Lee. And while his material will be cut from the film, he was still a producer, so won't he get some money from being attached to the original project, even though he has no influence now? I'm not sure how it works.

Great video Garza🔥

Great stuff Garza. And TRUTH! Cheers!

Geoff Johns isn't even a poor man's Kevin Feige. He's not even worthy to lick the man's shoe.

WB is weak and scared of cry baby dorks. Zacks vision is amazing

I'm very said that Zack had whole story arc's planned out for each Justice League characters. By making Superman in man of steel more human with conflicted emotions about his powers is better than making him a generic superhero who embrace's their powers more than they hate it(which is more Marvel than WB thought but okay..) The way he showed all of the Justice League and their motives in the film were amazing. And who ever wrote the script, I want to give them props to because the script was good(don't forget to give props to the screenwriter)

10:14min. Correction, WB owns 25% of RT and WB didn’t allow the review embargo to lift until 6am PST 10am EDT. I remember this in advance, I was going to see BvS the night before and notice the review embargo was still down. The earlier social media in embargo for the LA premier was already lifted with mixed reactions.

Another great video as expected

BVS WAS AMAZING

Avengers: Endgame and BvS: Ultimate Edition are two of my favorite movies. Superhero stuff is incredible. I’m glad for Zack Snyder’s Justice League happening. Can’t wait!

2:08 "Whether or not w don't see them" Yea dropping that comment knowing from beginning he had Martian Manhunter talking face to face with Superman before even Batman battles him. Damn.

I'm still in shock at the fact of his cut coming out.. I was there from the beginning and now I'm here for ending. Lantern287 has different take on Geoff John's and even though Johns is a snake.

Loved this vid!!! How do we know every scene from ZSJL will be 100% Terrio's and that there's nothing from Johns? I mean, Johns rewrote some scenes previous to Whedon step-in, and Zack shot some of Johns' work.

12:30 I agree with all of your points except the one involving the 21 movies buildup of Endgame and the Jimmy Olsen critique. While I love how the DCEU was shaping up, I also cannot deny the fact what the MCU has achieved is unprecedented and the films did take risks but not as much as BvS but Infinity War and Endgame ramped up the stakes and took risks which made it all the more impactful as we had gotten to know those characters over 21 films and it felt earned even if some of the films in between were mediocre. Another point I disagree on Olsen's representation. I fully understand and appreciate what Zack was trying to achieve with the nature of the world he had set BvS in and how it was a self-contained story but it was still utterly disrespectful to just out Olsen like that in such a weak manner. They could have used any other minor character based in the comics or come up with a new one to establish the world the movie was set in but Olsen is an integral part of Superman and in many ways is the heart of Superman and his lore. He, Lois, and Martha Kent are the ones who ground Superman in reality. If Snyder really couldn't afford to flesh the character of Jimmy Olsen to tell his story, then he should have just left him out of the picture rather than shoot him off-screen.

Great stuff Gsrza! Gonna die this to some friends. Nice, succinct look at the triumph of ZSJL

It’s the Richard donner cut of superman 2 all over again

There's so much story left to tell #RestoreTheSnyderverse

I'm watching this in Jan 2021 and I'm sooo happy that I'm part of this fandom. Love you guys and Jon for this awesome video

This is interesting, where did you find out the Geoff Johns quips that were added and that Zack shot two different versions of his film?

Thank you sir Garza for this incredibly informative video Thank you for backing up and supporting my lord Snyder love you for this... always #GOATSNYDER

Awesome job, JG. Nice recap 🖖🏾💯✊🏿

Great stuff and shared.

0:20 That cute little moment

Thank you for this.....

Amazing video as always 👏👌 Makes me want to watch all periodic table vids again. Now, do you think there’s a chance the 4h combined movie version will have a traditional letterbox format instead of the pillarbox tv version ? I hope so.

Very nice. Question though, when did they say he was doing a black and white version?

I think Zack said scenes he did not shoot won't be in the Snyder cut. I think he shot those lines(My Turn, I'm Rich), I think cause they are in the first tralier.
