The movie remake that united fandom is close, with a film that has the potential to be everything we wanted and more.
It's amazing to think that in age of superhero's being the biggest they have ever been that we have never had a good Justice League live action film or tv show. It's true that the CW's Arrowverse has brought together a version of this but the team of the Flash, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg and Aquaman are yet to get a proper live action outing.
Of course 2017 was meant to be the year this happened, DC was struggling when it came to it's DCEU with films such as Batman v Superman as well as Suicide Squad failing astronomically. However, this film like the afore mentioned failed at the box office after Zack Snyder left the film with Joss Whedon taking over.
The film that was released was a far cry from Snyder's vision mixing poor CGI with a hastily put together story that ensured DC another movie flop. Flash forward to 2021, after a barrage of fan support Zack Snyder has his Justice League film that will come out in March.
Zack Synder's Justice League has already released upgraded visuals of what was lacklustre villain Steppenwolf who has been kitted out in amazing armour as well as been giving a more menacing look for the new film. The film also includes new characters excluded from the original such as the evil Darkseid, Deathstroke and the return of Jared Leto as the clwon prince of crime The Joker who also arrives with a whole new darker look than what we saw in Suicide Squad.
The film will take the lose story of the original film with it's four hour run time allowing the film to take more time and care on the story. The film's trailers also highlight the vast improvement in effects and CGI on both villain's as well as action sequences.
It's amazing to see a film like this be able to be made, HBO max quickly realised the money they could make from this given the colossal fan support which of course is a main reason the film exists. It is a shame that Warner Bro's and the DCEU do not want anything to do with the film especially with Snyder mentioning in an interview that he has ideas for a Justice League sequel.
It's fair to say Zack Snyder's Justice League promises a lot, the film has to achieve for DC fans who actually made petitions online for the film to be made for years. The film is a representation of the power of fans in social media and for me personally, a welcome one.
Justice League will arrive in the second half of March and oh am I excited, let me know what you're thoughts and expectations are down below or tweet me @TTMultiverse
