‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ Plot
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists newfound ally Diana Prince to face an even greater threat.
Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly awakened enemy.
Despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes — Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash — it may be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
‘The Snyder Cut’ Release date
The Snyder Cut finally has a release date.
Director Zack Snyder’s new version of the 2017 DC Comics superhero film “Justice League” will premiere on HBO Max on March 18, 2021, WarnerMedia announced.
The DC Extended Universe superhero adventure will debut as a full-length Max Original, according to HBO, not in four separate hour-long parts as originally planned.
Another interesting development is that Zack Snyder’s Justice League will be presented in a different aspect ratio to the original film.
The Snyder Cut will be available in the 1.66.1 ratio, known widely as “European widescreen,” which will result in viewers seeing black bars on either side of the image when they watch on HBO Max.
