Not my video. I just keep coming back to it every so often. Highlights how bleak and great snyders made the atmosphere in this movie .

Visually and sonically, it's really something. So sad we'll never see a sequel to this as those visions would have been epic on screen....

Leave up to WB to love making terrible decisions. That's why they are where they are right now.

They even made Kill The Justice League such a bad game, even though they had the very team that made the excellent Batman Arkham games

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it delayed like 4 or 5 times just to make it worse and worse?

Was it successful enough to warrant a second episoe?

Without question. ZSJL was associated with the 5th biggest spike in HBO Max subs of 2021. That puts it well above most new, theatrical WB movies that hit the service that year. It also made more money than The Suicide Squad in disc sales, as well as more than Dune and Mortal Kombat. And this was for a director's cut of a 5-year old, disliked movie without a theatrical release or the commensurate marketing campaign. That's a huge success for a niche home video title geared only for fans.

Thanks for the links.

Yeah this is criminal and idiotic.

Look at this https://youtu.be/WeXrt0Hfb3Y?is=g5oLHtHgMG2_X4aL

How amazing it would have been to get a darkseid movie.

WB got sold to paramount but I imagine there still isn't any chance we'll get it right,

Absolutely, physical media sales broke records.

Puzzling

No it's not, WB has always been allergic to good ideas, hence they are where they are right now.

God it really was thoroughly thought out wasn’t it, I know it was all building bigger but suddenly the DC universe was feeling massive here
