The campaign for the Snyder Cut of Justice League just received a new wave of support with an amazing new fan-made poster released online. The ambitious team-up movie was originally designed to be part one of a two-part story. One which would have pit various DC Comics heroes against the otherworldly forces of Darkseid. The DCEU installment was set to be directed by Zack Snyder and pay off numerous threads from previous adventures. Unfortunately, a personal tragedy meant he had to step away during production. Stepping in, Joss Whedon overhauled Justice League’s story and character arcs. The results failed to make a mark at the box office - with Justice League displaying a tone incongruous to not only the rest of the DCEU but how the film was originally conceived.

In the wake of Justice League’s poor reception, the Snyder Cut movement was born. Despite over two years having passed, the campaign to see Snyder’s original vision released has continued to rage. Back in November, the associated hashtag trended worldwide for an entire weekend. Numerous images were also released by Snyder himself, teasing a vastly different and potentially more emotional story. More recently, Snyder Cut ads have appeared at sporting events and a new video was released that teased a scarier fight between Batman and a parademon than seen in the theatrical release. Snyder also unveiled a poster of his own and held a contest for fan-made efforts.

Seemingly unconnected to that, however, the campaign can now also count popular digital artist BossLogic among their number. Taking to Twitter, he revealed that “he and his team at Lineage Studios wanted to support” the fight for Snyder’s original film “in a major way.” As such, they offered a poster capturing everything they (and likely many campaigners) would have liked to have seen. The stunning results feature each established member of the cinematic Justice League. There is a notable difference, however, in that Superman is seen wearing his much-sought-after black suit. There are also multiple additions to the team, in the form of Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter. All are seen prominently, gathered not against Steppenwolf but Darkseid himself. Check out the full poster below:

Superman’s resurrection would have been much different in Snyder’s version of Justice League. A huge part of that would have been Henry Cavill wearing the iconic suit from the comics. While it may eventually make an appearance within the DCEU, as it stands it remains mostly a missed opportunity. As such, seeing it as gloriously realized as in the poster will no doubt delight fans. Equally, the appearance of Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter will do likewise. Given that BossLogic’s work often extends to artwork inspired by the Arrowverse, it’s unsurprising that the latter looks a lot like Supergirl’s iteration of the character. That being said, it’s also fitting that the character be present - since Snyder confirmed that Martian Manhunter was in his cut of Justice League.

Equally, omitting Darkseid from the film feels similarly like a missed opportunity. In Snyder’s film, Darkseid would have featured in several scenes. Darkseid actor Ray Porter even confirmed that he filmed each of those scenes. Therefore, the image Darkseid and the Justice League in one shot will both excite and disappoint fans over what might have been. Whatever one’s view, there’s no denying the stellar artwork and the charitable results that the overall campaign has inspired. This latest offering will also no doubt fuel campaigners’ hope and passion to see that Snyder’s version of Justice League released one day.
