Justice League: The Shocking, Exhilarating, Heartbreaking True Story of #TheSnyderCut
Rebuilding the story he had always envisioned is what invigorates Snyder most. He can go as deep and dark as he likes. He can say to hell with DC’s official time line for the characters and let this alt version of the Justice League story wind up wherever he pleases. He has put Superman in a sleek black suit instead of the iconic blue and red. He’s added the Joker (Jared Leto). He has reshot the ending with a hero cameo that will blow hard-core fans’ minds.
In what may be a divisive move, he’s also presenting the movie in the boxy 4:3 format rather than wide-screen so that one day it can be watched on IMAX screens. Some may be irritated by seeing Justice League on HBO Max with black bars on either side. Snyder isn’t troubled by that. |
It’s an interesting decision for sure.
I’ve noticed HBOMax is really good about presenting stuff in its proper aspect ratio. The Kubrick films on there are in their original boxy format instead of the wider 1:85 to 1 which cuts out the top and bottom.
