The sheer extent of that new material was obvious while watching Justice League, with Whedon's style jarring badly with Snyder's original footage. It was plain to see in nearly every sequence featuring Superman too, with the filmmakers famously having to digitally paint over star Henry Cavill's mustache for the reshoots, which he grew for Paramount's Mission: Impossible - Fallout. The effect itself was incredibly distracting in the final movie and confirmed nearly none of Snyder's footage involving Superman was used. Bad reviews and word of mouth saw the film underperform, with Warner Bros now rethinking their plan for the DC Extended Universe.

It was also clear when comparing early trailers and promo material that a lot of deleted material existed for the movie. Zack Snyder has been sharing stills from some of those scenes on social media recently, such as Lois Lane and Martha Kent sharing a drink and reminiscing about Clark following his death in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Now the filmmaker has shared another image - a rather evocative one with Wonder Woman, Cyborg, The Flash, and Aquaman looking at Clark's coffin.

While Snyder's dark vision for the DCEU has met with backlash, there are still fans who really love what he tried to do with both A petition for this cut has attracted over 175,000 signatures and while the film was apparently more complete than some reports have let on, its unlikely the studio would invest the money needed to finish Snyder's version properly.
