Supposedly HBO Max is bringing Batman: The Animated Series back from the dead. Unquestionably one of the best animated series of all time.

I have a confession to make: I still haven’t watched Justice League Dark: Apokolips Wars Feel free to shame
Surely this won't end up a garbled mess like his other DC movies. I won't be fooled again *proceeds to get fooled again*
The only thing going for it is symmetry with Man of Steel and BvS. If it finds a way to make all three work as a unit, then great. We can call it done and move on to different takes on Superman and Batman (and Flash)
With Snyder's desire to make a live action Dark Knight Returns, I hope he uses a little of that final battle between Batman and Joker in the Knightmare scene
We will get one scene with them together and that's it. I'm interested to see what they did with Leto though. He apparently has 3 different outfits in the short amount of time he has on screen.
So the one with long hair is obviously him very young before the tats and having all of his teeth broken. I’m guess they show a later one then the older version from SS
One we see, one in some kind of a doctors outfit, and then one with a bulletproof vest with police badges all over it. I think the last one is the knightmare scene.
Not sure but he’s killed a shitload of cops and with the world gone to hell he has to join Batfleck to fight Darkseid I believe.
I don't either. The studio pulled like 30 min of scenes with him. He was supposed to have a bigger/better part in SS.
I haven’t been following what Snyder has done, essentially this is a re-edit of Justice League with the addition of some Joker content?
The version we saw was only like 30 minutes of Snyder’s film. He has a 4 hour version. It was supposed to lead to another movie or two.
So, I will watch this the first weekend it comes out. Hopes are not high, but I am there for any Batman / Joker on film. Will be a nice break from the first weekend of NCAA tourney.
As others have said, Snyder movies are almost always "woo announcement hype, WOO bitchin trailer, oh that's it? O...kay."
Here's a pretty concise rundown: Back in 2016 Zack Snyder shot 5 hours of assembly footage during principle photography for the planned 2018 film "Justice League." From that footage, he and his editor completed a 214 min (3.5 hour) film, which he dubbed his director's cut. From that, he edited together a 3 hour version, intended for theatrical release, with the idea that the 3.5 hour version would be released on Blu Ray (this is how Batman v Superman was done, by the way, which saw a director's cut that was much better received...though I would argue is just as fundamentally flawed from a story-standpoint). WB, however, was trying to maximize profits on opening weekend (due to the horrible legs BvS had), and wanted Zack Snyder to cut his 3.5 hour movie down to 2 hours for the theatrical cut. Snyder resisted and negotiated for a time but when he suffered a family tragedy he bowed out of the project. That last parts kind of iffy: Did he bow out voluntarily or was he pushed out? Hard to say. Anyway, Snyder stepped down and WB hired Joss Whedon, gave him a 100 million dollar budget (roughly) and turned him loose. Whedon oversaw 2 months of reshoots and basically remade almost the entire film. He wrote 88 pages of reshoots, which translates to almost 1.5 hours of the final 2 hour. The film's original cinematographer, Fabian Wagner, (and later Snyder himself) confirmed that only 30 mins of the theatrical cut of Justice League featured shots made by Zack Snyder, and even those were heavily edited. The rest were shot by Joss Whedon. So Zack Snyder's Justice League releasing next month, which is 4 hours, will contain at minimum 3.5 hours of footage we never saw, and a final thirty minutes that will look very different from how they were in the theatrical version. The only new material is the 4 mins of footage Snyder shot recently with Jared Leto and Joe Mangeniello, which he added since he wanted this universe's Batman and Joker meet at least once. Other than that, it was all shot in 2016.
