SPOILER ALERT!! DCEU FANBOY NATION! Lol. Take it with a Grain of Salt. So I had the greatest night last night, I seen JUSTICE LEAGUE!!! Yes de Justice League movie, directed by Zack Snyder, that one! Quick story about how I seen it. I attend private screenings for movies, since 2014. I love both DC & Marvel but my heart belongs to DC. The first private screening I attended was for a movie called ''The Imitation Game''. Since then I've attended screenings for Rogue One, Age Of Ultron, Logan Lucky, Annabelle: Creation, Lego Batman etc... I never got to attend a screening of BVS or SS but I did get to attend a screening for WW in February. Anyways enough about me, you want to hear about the movie. But before I give the best description I can possibly give for those who don't want spoilers here is my quick mini review. Justice League is probably my favorite comic book movie. Now onto the description: The film begins on Themyscira with a young Diana, her mother Hippolyta tells her one of her old war stories(similar to WW). We cut to the ''History Lesson'' while Hippolyta narrates. Humans, amazons, thanagarians, atlanteans, Kara El & the corps fight alongside each other to fight off Darkseid's army. Kara is wearing Superman's black suit with the silver symbol, I don't know who the actress is. After Darkseid's army is defeated they retreat. Just when everyone begins to celebrate their victory a boom tube sucks up Kara. We cut to present day. It has been 4 months since the death of Superman, together the world pays tribute(London, Hong Kong, DC, Metropolis). Everyone lays flowers at Superman's grave in Washington, his headstone is a big \S/. A mother loses her kid, calling out for him. When she finds him he's standing at the grave in awe, he's dressed as Superman. That night several people light candles around the grave while Martha watches it on the news. In Metropolis Lois gets a taxi to the broken Superman memorial, she stares at the statue's head. This scene in particular with Lois was very emotional. She has flashbacks of Clark(The end of MOS when he joins the Daily Planet and they both smile, a scene where Clark is asleep and Lois kisses him before she leaves) all while we hear Clark say ''I love you. This is my world, you are my world''. You can hear the slow version of the MOS theme playing. We cut to the scene of Bruce on a horse searching for the village. Once there he talks to Arthur. Arthur turns down his offer etc... We follow Arthur back to his home, a lighthouse. WW is in London at an auction, her job is dealing with old artifacts and paintings. It is there where she buys the statue of Hera. Diana is a very rich & successful woman. She lives in Paris but also has an apartment in London. The Hera statue is not for work but for her apartment, her apartment is seen in the trailer. Her apartment is very old fashion, a fountain, other greek statues etc... There is a news report of a hold up at the Old Bailey, a dangerous mob boss is on trial and he's attempting to escape. It's an inside job too(security guards are involved), they have a bomb and threaten the hostages. Diana shows up as WW and takes them out but the bomb still goes off, luckily no one was hurt. Bruce is watching the aftermath on the news while in his private jet back to Gotham. We cut to Victor Stone in his dad's apartment, we see flashbacks of his origin. We cut to Batman staring at the scout ship. Just as he's about to leave he sees the bat signal. Batman talks with Commissioner Gordon, apparently Bats hasn't been around the last few weeks. Gordon questions Batman's ways(branding criminals, killing them), Gordon says ''I know what you've experienced. You are at war with yourself, war changes people''. Batman disappears when Gordon turns his back. Diana takes a plane to Gotham and meets Bruce in his new lair where the flying fox is. She accepts his offer to join the league. He gives her all the updates, when asked about Barry Allen(his file is seen on the computer) we cut to Barry visiting his dad in prison(an emotional moment). Iris is waiting for Barry outside and gives him a lift home(It's not like he needed it). Anyways this is where the Flash meets Batman scene occurs as seen in the trailers. Back to Aquaman. Deadly waves causes a small boat to crash into rocks. The captain?(are all boat owners called captains?) jumps onto the rocks as the boat sinks. He slips and hits his head on the rocks(knocking him unconscious). Aquaman shows up, carries him into the village. Takes a bottle of beer(It's on him scene). He walks back home to find Mera waiting for him. The Atlantis council has sent her to summon Arthur, his title as king is in jeopardy, Arthur says ''What if I don't want to be king?''. He goes with her. Back to Cyborg. He's at Gotham University(his old school), hiding under the bleachers watching his old team mates training for a game. He sees a girl running up to one of the team mates and kisses them, we cut to a flashback of Victor in a game with Coast City University. He lands a touchdown therefore winning the game. The girl was his girlfriend, she kisses him. Back to present day Diana greets Victor under the bleachers. She asks him to join. He calls it a curse, that it ruined his life & his dreams. He asks to be left alone, Diana leaves but says ''Your curse can help save lives''. On Themyscira Hippolyta stares at a sculpter of young Diana. The motherbox they protect starts going bonkers. Hippolyta senses danger so sends her best warriors to protect it, including herself. They believe the enemy will come in through the door. A boom tube opens in front of the motherbox, Steppenwolf arrives. A big fight between Steppenwolf and the amazons, Steppenwolf is the victor. He takes the motherbox as a boom tube sucks him up. In Atlantis Arthur stands(floats) before the council. The Atlantis court houses many artifacts including a motherbox. Orm(yes Orm) & Vulko are council members. Orm calls Arthur a surface dweller while Vulko defends him. One member says ''To be king you need to be with your people, not on the surface'' or something like that. Mera watches. Orm continues to put down Arthur but Mera swims in to defend him but the guards take her aside. Arthur starts to defend himself, explaining how it's a burden to be of both worlds yet not belong to either, that he has a mother he never met, that he's unsure if he can be a king. The motherbox starts going bonkers again, this time it lets out a shockwave that throws back several people and scaring fish nearby. Arthur checks on Mera. Steppenwolf arrives, after a quick encounter Aquaman is defeated and Steppenwolf leaves with the motherbox. Arthur swims to the grave of the first atlantean king, taking his armor and trident. Back in Gotham several scientists are kidnapped including Silas Stone(Cyborg's dad). Gordon actives the batsignal, Barry & Bruce notice it(Bruce calls Diana). Cyborg arrives home to find the place destroyed(It's where the parademon took his dad) and looks out the window to see the batsignal. On top of the GCPD the team talk to Gordon, Cyborg shows up, they all try to figure out what these creatures are. They find a nest in an underground tunnel on an Island, or at least hope to find one. Batman and WW give Cyborg & Flash a prep talk. Batman heads alone further into the tunnel with the help of his knightcrawler. Several parademons arrive. A big action set piece takes place, Steppenwolf shows up. The knightcrawler is destroyed. Using her bracelets WW causes a shockwave that floods the tunnel but Aquaman shows up to push it off. The tunnel starts to fall apart, the scientists(In one of the rooms) are freaking out but Silas tries to calm them down. A large piece of rubble is about to crush Silas but Cyborg saves him. Above the surface Gordon and the GCPD are waiting. Gordon thanks them for everything. He actually calls them ''Justice League'', Batman & Aquaman hate the name but Flash thinks it's cool. A parademon flies straight out of the underground tunnel, grabs onto Cyborg and flies away with him. Cyborg gets loose of the parademon and flies into the sky with it but flies straight back down and plummets it into the ground after Flash quickly gets everyone out of the way. The league goes to the batcave. Batman wants trust from them so he lets them in on a big secret. Bruce has the body of Superman(he's wearing the blue & red suit). Since Superman's death Bruce has had his body, he replaced it with a wax dummy. He tells them there is HOPE for Superman. He explains the science of Kal's suit(It's some kind of bio-suit), he explains that there are kryptonian scriptures all over the suit. He needs access to the scout ship, hoping to translate them. Batman breaks Luthor out of Arkham, well tbh the Arkham staff basically let him. Batman sneeks into the scout ship with Luthor. The reason Batman needs him is because the ship's AI only obeys Luthor. Luthor refuses to help, Batman breaks his finger, Luthor helps. A boom tube opens in the middle of Metropolis, several parademons arrive. WW, Arthur & Cyborg still in the batcave are made aware of this by Alfred. WW flies the batwing with Aquaman in it. Cyborg flies there. Barry is in a store having an awkward conversation with the store clerk. Parademons fly by and he quickly races out. Together the 4 of them bring the attention of the parademons to heroes park(Superman memorial, scout ship) where there's no civilians. Using the AI Luthor helps translate the scriptures(Batman has them written out). They defeat the creatures and Luthor is taken back to the asylum by Flash. Batman reads out the scriptures, basically the suit needs radiation. There's a device at Star Labs that was made to withstand the radiation of a nuke & the human motherbox. Cyborg brings them to Star Labs. This scene here confused me, I don't understand why the league had to tag along. Silas gives Victor the device and thanks the league for saving him and his friends. He has a touching moment with Victor and tells him ''I told you Victor, you're a hero''. Steppenwolf arrives with several parademons via boom tube, using the motherbox he creates a field around him and the scientists. He's tired of the league interfering so he uses Silas as an example and kills him. Cyborg walks through the field, quickly fights off Steppenwolf(dropping the motherbox). Steppenwolf retreats with the parademons who take the scientists again. Batman places the device on Superman's chest. He & the league go to the Batman's new lair from earlier with the motherbox in their possession. Diana asks Victor how he managed to walk through the field, he explains that he's made from one of them so it must be the reason. The motherbox he is made from automatically connects with the atlantean motherbox, it feeds him all sorts of information and using his red eye he protects images. Steppenwolf is from an alternate reality of Earth, another dimension referred to as Apokolips(Is it me or is this very similiar to Stranger Things?). It's the reason Steppenwolf knows Earth so well, how he was able to find Atlantis & Themyscira. The only way to access this dimension is via a motherbox(Apparently there are thousands of them). They want the scientists to create parademons. An image of Darkseid is protected(This is the only time we see him). The scene from the trailer of Bruce staring at a hologram of Superman isn't in the film, he's actually looking at Darkseid who by the way looks like the literal definition of a tyrant. Darkseid wishes to enter our Earth and make it his own. From our side you can open portals but you have to find access points. From the other side you can create boom tubes anywhere on Earth(probably more advanced motherboxes?). Using the 3 motherboxes Steppenwolf will combine them to create a portal big enough to bring over Darkseid's army. Cyborg finds an access point in an industrial town. Bruce informs Alfred. They head there via the flying fox, using the motherbox Cyborg creates a portal(it looks like a big blue electrical wall), because of the energy the flying fox loses control causing misfires as it's sucked into the portal but it doesn't close. Bruce manages to regain control and safely lands it on the other side. The alternate version of the town has red skies, is ruins and surrounded by skeletons. Nearby is Steppenwolf's tower, the scientists are there. Steppenwolf sends parademons to retrieve the motherboxes from the league. After a big fight with the league make their way to the tower(the batmobile is toast & the atlantean motherbox is returned to Steppenwolf). In the batcave Superman wakes up. He meets with Alfred who informs him on everything. Superman makes his way to the access point(we don't get a full look at him yet or hear him speak). Steppenwolf combines the 2 motherboxes, he sends a message to Darkseid, telling him only one motherbox remains. The league fight their way inside of the tower. Batman & Flash focus on saving the scientists while the rest face off against more parademons. After the creatures are defeated and the scientists are saved the league team up to face off against Steppenwolf. Steppenwolf looks at Cyborg and says something like ''I thought I was gonna have to come for you but you came to me''. After a big fight Steppenwolf is victor. He grabs hold of Cyborg and starts to transform the motherbox(sorta like a rubik's cube), slowly removing it from his body. But out of nowhere Superman flies in and punches him into the already two combined motherboxes, slowly destroying him. The league is in total shock and awe to which Superman replies ''Sorry I'm late''. Using the flying fox they enter their own world through the portal but not before Cyborg closes it. We then get that iconic JL style intro of the league walking towards the camera as shadows with the sun behind them. In the end everyone goes back to their own lives. Lois is at the Kent Farm with Martha. Clark arrives, this was a beautiful moment. Martha runs to Clark, hugs him and cries. Superman and Lois kiss, slowly levitating off the ground. He notices the wedding ring on her finger as they smile. Back at the new lair Bruce gives Flash a new suit, just as he leaves with it Superman enters the cave. He and Bruce have a conversation. Clark thanks him for saving his life while Bruce thanks him for inspiring him to become a better hero. They shake hands as Bruce welcomes him to the ''Hall Of Justice''. The end. Overall I think it was a fun movie. There wasn't much Superman unfortunately but it was great to see him come back, I was a little disappointed he didn't have the black suit. The flying fox wasn't as awesome as I had hoped, Steppenwolf was pretty badass and there was no Deathstroke. The only scene in the movie I feel like was a forced set up was the Kara El scene, I'm guessing she's gonna be in MOS 2 or JL 2 but they went through alot of trouble to showcase her in that opening. Don't expect a giant amount of easter eggs or cameos because you won't get it. There was no post credits scene, if there is one they won't reveal it until official release so maybe we'll get some context to her scene or maybe a Deathstroke cameo? I'm still holding out hopes for that cameo. It's a pretty straightforward movie, obviously there's plot holes and every now & again you'll say ''Oh how convenient''. But I'm far from hating because no movie is perfect. Imo it's easily the best DC movie, I had so much fun with it and I'm positive you will too. It was definitely a rough cut(some unpolished effects, sample ost). I have no idea if this cut was pre reshoots or not. If the mods would like I could try and supply some proof but I have to be careful. I don't have any leaked images or nothing, they make you put your phones into little bags before hand.
The leak seem legit because the recent trailer matches a lot of the scenes here. But I am pretty sure that this is the first cut, Snyder's actual cut. The story is compact notwithstanding, I believe more scenes will be added from the reshoots, like the Wayne Manor scene and so on. I think Chris Terrio's script worked fine this time. The script from BVS, which was co-written with David Goyer was too complicated. I can easily give this movie and the story therein 9.5/10 without watching it...lol.
By the way, I'm waiting to see the mythological battles explored in the opening act. I heard It has Lord of the Rings, 300 and Game of Thrones combined vibes. I also heard the visuals are amazing.
The guy who posted this has seriously violated his NDA!
To be honest, I'll be very disappointed if this is the real justice league script. My reasons are ; the first act of this script looks similar to suicide squad ( jumping from one character to the other) Additionally as a child justice league was my ultimate fantasy, even till today its still one of my guilty pleasures. With this in mind my dream justice league is supposed to include green lantern and John Jons. I understand that they can't be in the film, but let's look at superman. For crying out loud according to this script superman just had one punch in the whole movie, and it ended the movie. This is very frustrating and if this is really the movie I'll have to rate it low on imbd. And if rotten tomatoes should accept my application for reviews before then I'll still give it a bad rating.
Please understand that I'm a dc fan, but I cannot enjoy or support a justice league movie where superman has 2 scenes.. I just hope this is a joke
This is so pathetic. So, you're gonna rate this movie low because it has no Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern? Who are you to dictate to WB which version of Justice League comics they should make live action? It is purely a business decision, dude. The last Green Lantern movie was a financial flop just like previous Superman movies before MOS. By the way, Martian Manhunter isn't a part of the New 52 JL team, which is the current inspiration of DCEU.

that's exact what I said , that's what modern critics do nowadays and its so wrong just because it did not go the way you wanted it to go you hate on it, lol from this summary I'll say justice league is just fine it sounds badass and am sure zack has done a nice job...... seriously I was like sh.t, awesomeness! When I saw this but it's probably a rough cut and before the re shoots but am down for Jl come November..... hYPe..

Are you sure you read what I wrote? Really go back and read it again.
Now read this part again :

Have you read it ? I said I can understand if Green lantern and Martian man Hunter cannot be in the movie.. I went on to emphasise on superman for a reason.
You tell me how it will be that one of the biggest superheroes is now appearing as a cameo, in a film he should feature perfectly in.
Please if they don't know what to do with the character, let them just retire him. Let his story end as one of sacrifice. But for superman to appear in a cameo for justice league is really bad
Edited : Please sir tell me. Is that ending not poor to you ? Superman just flies in and punches the bad dude, killing him at once. Then why didn't wonder woman kill him since, why couldn't the whole League combined kill him before superman arrives.
This ending reminds me of the "Martha, Save Martha" ending and is a result of lazy writing. By the way I enjoyed BvS, but that ending is an insult.

SPOILER ALERT!! DCEU FANBOY NATION! Lol. Take it with a Grain of Salt. So I had the greatest night last night, I seen JUSTICE LEAGUE!!! Yes de Justice League movie, directed by Zack Snyder, that one! Quick story about how I seen it. I attend private screenings for movies, since 2014. I love both DC & Marvel but my heart belongs to DC. The first private screening I attended was for a movie called ''The Imitation Game''. Since then I've attended screenings for Rogue One, Age Of Ultron, Logan Lucky, Annabelle: Creation, Lego Batman etc... I never got to attend a screening of BVS or SS but I did get to attend a screening for WW in February. Anyways enough about me, you want to hear about the movie. But before I give the best description I can possibly give for those who don't want spoilers here is my quick mini review. Justice League is probably my favorite comic book movie. Now onto the description: The film begins on Themyscira with a young Diana, her mother Hippolyta tells her one of her old war stories(similar to WW). We cut to the ''History Lesson'' while Hippolyta narrates. Humans, amazons, thanagarians, atlanteans, Kara El & the corps fight alongside each other to fight off Darkseid's army. Kara is wearing Superman's black suit with the silver symbol, I don't know who the actress is. After Darkseid's army is defeated they retreat. Just when everyone begins to celebrate their victory a boom tube sucks up Kara. We cut to present day. It has been 4 months since the death of Superman, together the world pays tribute(London, Hong Kong, DC, Metropolis). Everyone lays flowers at Superman's grave in Washington, his headstone is a big \S/. A mother loses her kid, calling out for him. When she finds him he's standing at the grave in awe, he's dressed as Superman. That night several people light candles around the grave while Martha watches it on the news. In Metropolis Lois gets a taxi to the broken Superman memorial, she stares at the statue's head. This scene in particular with Lois was very emotional. She has flashbacks of Clark(The end of MOS when he joins the Daily Planet and they both smile, a scene where Clark is asleep and Lois kisses him before she leaves) all while we hear Clark say ''I love you. This is my world, you are my world''. You can hear the slow version of the MOS theme playing. We cut to the scene of Bruce on a horse searching for the village. Once there he talks to Arthur. Arthur turns down his offer etc... We follow Arthur back to his home, a lighthouse. WW is in London at an auction, her job is dealing with old artifacts and paintings. It is there where she buys the statue of Hera. Diana is a very rich & successful woman. She lives in Paris but also has an apartment in London. The Hera statue is not for work but for her apartment, her apartment is seen in the trailer. Her apartment is very old fashion, a fountain, other greek statues etc... There is a news report of a hold up at the Old Bailey, a dangerous mob boss is on trial and he's attempting to escape. It's an inside job too(security guards are involved), they have a bomb and threaten the hostages. Diana shows up as WW and takes them out but the bomb still goes off, luckily no one was hurt. Bruce is watching the aftermath on the news while in his private jet back to Gotham. We cut to Victor Stone in his dad's apartment, we see flashbacks of his origin. We cut to Batman staring at the scout ship. Just as he's about to leave he sees the bat signal. Batman talks with Commissioner Gordon, apparently Bats hasn't been around the last few weeks. Gordon questions Batman's ways(branding criminals, killing them), Gordon says ''I know what you've experienced. You are at war with yourself, war changes people''. Batman disappears when Gordon turns his back. Diana takes a plane to Gotham and meets Bruce in his new lair where the flying fox is. She accepts his offer to join the league. He gives her all the updates, when asked about Barry Allen(his file is seen on the computer) we cut to Barry visiting his dad in prison(an emotional moment). Iris is waiting for Barry outside and gives him a lift home(It's not like he needed it). Anyways this is where the Flash meets Batman scene occurs as seen in the trailers. Back to Aquaman. Deadly waves causes a small boat to crash into rocks. The captain?(are all boat owners called captains?) jumps onto the rocks as the boat sinks. He slips and hits his head on the rocks(knocking him unconscious). Aquaman shows up, carries him into the village. Takes a bottle of beer(It's on him scene). He walks back home to find Mera waiting for him. The Atlantis council has sent her to summon Arthur, his title as king is in jeopardy, Arthur says ''What if I don't want to be king?''. He goes with her. Back to Cyborg. He's at Gotham University(his old school), hiding under the bleachers watching his old team mates training for a game. He sees a girl running up to one of the team mates and kisses them, we cut to a flashback of Victor in a game with Coast City University. He lands a touchdown therefore winning the game. The girl was his girlfriend, she kisses him. Back to present day Diana greets Victor under the bleachers. She asks him to join. He calls it a curse, that it ruined his life & his dreams. He asks to be left alone, Diana leaves but says ''Your curse can help save lives''. On Themyscira Hippolyta stares at a sculpter of young Diana. The motherbox they protect starts going bonkers. Hippolyta senses danger so sends her best warriors to protect it, including herself. They believe the enemy will come in through the door. A boom tube opens in front of the motherbox, Steppenwolf arrives. A big fight between Steppenwolf and the amazons, Steppenwolf is the victor. He takes the motherbox as a boom tube sucks him up. In Atlantis Arthur stands(floats) before the council. The Atlantis court houses many artifacts including a motherbox. Orm(yes Orm) & Vulko are council members. Orm calls Arthur a surface dweller while Vulko defends him. One member says ''To be king you need to be with your people, not on the surface'' or something like that. Mera watches. Orm continues to put down Arthur but Mera swims in to defend him but the guards take her aside. Arthur starts to defend himself, explaining how it's a burden to be of both worlds yet not belong to either, that he has a mother he never met, that he's unsure if he can be a king. The motherbox starts going bonkers again, this time it lets out a shockwave that throws back several people and scaring fish nearby. Arthur checks on Mera. Steppenwolf arrives, after a quick encounter Aquaman is defeated and Steppenwolf leaves with the motherbox. Arthur swims to the grave of the first atlantean king, taking his armor and trident. Back in Gotham several scientists are kidnapped including Silas Stone(Cyborg's dad). Gordon actives the batsignal, Barry & Bruce notice it(Bruce calls Diana). Cyborg arrives home to find the place destroyed(It's where the parademon took his dad) and looks out the window to see the batsignal. On top of the GCPD the team talk to Gordon, Cyborg shows up, they all try to figure out what these creatures are. They find a nest in an underground tunnel on an Island, or at least hope to find one. Batman and WW give Cyborg & Flash a prep talk. Batman heads alone further into the tunnel with the help of his knightcrawler. Several parademons arrive. A big action set piece takes place, Steppenwolf shows up. The knightcrawler is destroyed. Using her bracelets WW causes a shockwave that floods the tunnel but Aquaman shows up to push it off. The tunnel starts to fall apart, the scientists(In one of the rooms) are freaking out but Silas tries to calm them down. A large piece of rubble is about to crush Silas but Cyborg saves him. Above the surface Gordon and the GCPD are waiting. Gordon thanks them for everything. He actually calls them ''Justice League'', Batman & Aquaman hate the name but Flash thinks it's cool. A parademon flies straight out of the underground tunnel, grabs onto Cyborg and flies away with him. Cyborg gets loose of the parademon and flies into the sky with it but flies straight back down and plummets it into the ground after Flash quickly gets everyone out of the way. The league goes to the batcave. Batman wants trust from them so he lets them in on a big secret. Bruce has the body of Superman(he's wearing the blue & red suit). Since Superman's death Bruce has had his body, he replaced it with a wax dummy. He tells them there is HOPE for Superman. He explains the science of Kal's suit(It's some kind of bio-suit), he explains that there are kryptonian scriptures all over the suit. He needs access to the scout ship, hoping to translate them. Batman breaks Luthor out of Arkham, well tbh the Arkham staff basically let him. Batman sneeks into the scout ship with Luthor. The reason Batman needs him is because the ship's AI only obeys Luthor. Luthor refuses to help, Batman breaks his finger, Luthor helps. A boom tube opens in the middle of Metropolis, several parademons arrive. WW, Arthur & Cyborg still in the batcave are made aware of this by Alfred. WW flies the batwing with Aquaman in it. Cyborg flies there. Barry is in a store having an awkward conversation with the store clerk. Parademons fly by and he quickly races out. Together the 4 of them bring the attention of the parademons to heroes park(Superman memorial, scout ship) where there's no civilians. Using the AI Luthor helps translate the scriptures(Batman has them written out). They defeat the creatures and Luthor is taken back to the asylum by Flash. Batman reads out the scriptures, basically the suit needs radiation. There's a device at Star Labs that was made to withstand the radiation of a nuke & the human motherbox. Cyborg brings them to Star Labs. This scene here confused me, I don't understand why the league had to tag along. Silas gives Victor the device and thanks the league for saving him and his friends. He has a touching moment with Victor and tells him ''I told you Victor, you're a hero''. Steppenwolf arrives with several parademons via boom tube, using the motherbox he creates a field around him and the scientists. He's tired of the league interfering so he uses Silas as an example and kills him. Cyborg walks through the field, quickly fights off Steppenwolf(dropping the motherbox). Steppenwolf retreats with the parademons who take the scientists again. Batman places the device on Superman's chest. He & the league go to the Batman's new lair from earlier with the motherbox in their possession. Diana asks Victor how he managed to walk through the field, he explains that he's made from one of them so it must be the reason. The motherbox he is made from automatically connects with the atlantean motherbox, it feeds him all sorts of information and using his red eye he protects images. Steppenwolf is from an alternate reality of Earth, another dimension referred to as Apokolips(Is it me or is this very similiar to Stranger Things?). It's the reason Steppenwolf knows Earth so well, how he was able to find Atlantis & Themyscira. The only way to access this dimension is via a motherbox(Apparently there are thousands of them). They want the scientists to create parademons. An image of Darkseid is protected(This is the only time we see him). The scene from the trailer of Bruce staring at a hologram of Superman isn't in the film, he's actually looking at Darkseid who by the way looks like the literal definition of a tyrant. Darkseid wishes to enter our Earth and make it his own. From our side you can open portals but you have to find access points. From the other side you can create boom tubes anywhere on Earth(probably more advanced motherboxes?). Using the 3 motherboxes Steppenwolf will combine them to create a portal big enough to bring over Darkseid's army. Cyborg finds an access point in an industrial town. Bruce informs Alfred. They head there via the flying fox, using the motherbox Cyborg creates a portal(it looks like a big blue electrical wall), because of the energy the flying fox loses control causing misfires as it's sucked into the portal but it doesn't close. Bruce manages to regain control and safely lands it on the other side. The alternate version of the town has red skies, is ruins and surrounded by skeletons. Nearby is Steppenwolf's tower, the scientists are there. Steppenwolf sends parademons to retrieve the motherboxes from the league. After a big fight with the league make their way to the tower(the batmobile is toast & the atlantean motherbox is returned to Steppenwolf). In the batcave Superman wakes up. He meets with Alfred who informs him on everything. Superman makes his way to the access point(we don't get a full look at him yet or hear him speak). Steppenwolf combines the 2 motherboxes, he sends a message to Darkseid, telling him only one motherbox remains. The league fight their way inside of the tower. Batman & Flash focus on saving the scientists while the rest face off against more parademons. After the creatures are defeated and the scientists are saved the league team up to face off against Steppenwolf. Steppenwolf looks at Cyborg and says something like ''I thought I was gonna have to come for you but you came to me''. After a big fight Steppenwolf is victor. He grabs hold of Cyborg and starts to transform the motherbox(sorta like a rubik's cube), slowly removing it from his body. But out of nowhere Superman flies in and punches him into the already two combined motherboxes, slowly destroying him. The league is in total shock and awe to which Superman replies ''Sorry I'm late''. Using the flying fox they enter their own world through the portal but not before Cyborg closes it. We then get that iconic JL style intro of the league walking towards the camera as shadows with the sun behind them. In the end everyone goes back to their own lives. Lois is at the Kent Farm with Martha. Clark arrives, this was a beautiful moment. Martha runs to Clark, hugs him and cries. Superman and Lois kiss, slowly levitating off the ground. He notices the wedding ring on her finger as they smile. Back at the new lair Bruce gives Flash a new suit, just as he leaves with it Superman enters the cave. He and Bruce have a conversation. Clark thanks him for saving his life while Bruce thanks him for inspiring him to become a better hero. They shake hands as Bruce welcomes him to the ''Hall Of Justice''. The end. Overall I think it was a fun movie. There wasn't much Superman unfortunately but it was great to see him come back, I was a little disappointed he didn't have the black suit. The flying fox wasn't as awesome as I had hoped, Steppenwolf was pretty badass and there was no Deathstroke. The only scene in the movie I feel like was a forced set up was the Kara El scene, I'm guessing she's gonna be in MOS 2 or JL 2 but they went through alot of trouble to showcase her in that opening. Don't expect a giant amount of easter eggs or cameos because you won't get it. There was no post credits scene, if there is one they won't reveal it until official release so maybe we'll get some context to her scene or maybe a Deathstroke cameo? I'm still holding out hopes for that cameo. It's a pretty straightforward movie, obviously there's plot holes and every now & again you'll say ''Oh how convenient''. But I'm far from hating because no movie is perfect. Imo it's easily the best DC movie, I had so much fun with it and I'm positive you will too. It was definitely a rough cut(some unpolished effects, sample ost). I have no idea if this cut was pre reshoots or not. If the mods would like I could try and supply some proof but I have to be careful. I don't have any leaked images or nothing, they make you put your phones into little bags before hand.
My only disappointment is the absence of Green Lantern and the inclusion of Kara el. Super girl again. Seriously, after the t.v show, they want to force her on the film. Warner should get their act right and include GL. He needs to appear in this film even if its a cameo. Fans are rooting for him to appear. And I don't want to believe Superman only has a few scenes. Looking forward to November 17.
Are you sure you read what I wrote? Really go back and read it again.
Now read this part again :
With this in mind my dream justice league is supposed to include green lantern and John Jons. I understand that they can't be in the film, but let's look at superman.
Have you read it ? I said I can understand if Green lantern and Martian man Hunter cannot be in the movie.. I went on to emphasise on superman for a reason.
You tell me how it will be that one of the biggest superheroes is now appearing as a cameo, in a film he should feature perfectly in.
Please if they don't know what to do with the character, let them just retire him. Let his story end as one of sacrifice. But for superman to appear in a cameo for justice league is really bad
Edited : Please sir tell me. Is that ending not poor to you ? Superman just flies in and punches the bad dude, killing him at once. Then why didn't wonder woman kill him since, why couldn't the whole League combined kill him before superman arrives.
This ending reminds me of the "Martha, Save Martha" ending and is a result of lazy writing. By the way I enjoyed BvS, but that ending is an insult.
I understand that you're highly expectant but if you are have been following the story in the DCEU, you will realise that the Superman arc in JL is being downplayed to allow other JL members to shine. First of all, Superman's death was intentional to allow Batman and Wonder Woman take leadership roles. I wasn't actually expecting Superman to do any heavy lifting in this movie because he will spend a greater time of this movie in coma. He doesn't even have an inkling of who the enemy nor his strength. I'm okay with the ending even though you aren't. Sorry about that. .
You mean the actor that acted Silas Stone? What if Cyborg is his third and final movie. I doubt he will appear in Flash point.
cyborg could be his last m0vie bt u never kn0w. They could add few pictures to his slate. If cyborg does well, then he could return for cyborg 2 and 3 or even the flash films.

its a rough cut could be probably false..... But let me assure you this...lol... Deathstroke, green lantern,Kara Zor el will cameo in jl shazam and batgirl will be an Easter egg..... Quote me by nov 18th lol.... Snyder is the king of Easter eggs

I thought people will get the idea as all promotions are done without supes.... Jl is not a supes movie it is focused more on redemption and heroism abeg let AM WW AND flash shine small.... Same reason batman will be absent in the park fight scene let other heroes get some screen time, to me that's the main reason for the dceu to introduce people to DCs other interesting characters ..... I personally do not want to see supes in action till the third act..... Except if he's in some sort of trance(another rumor)

Well we agree to disagree. After all is said and done they'll be only one ending to this film, and no matter how good it is it will never satisfy everybody.
My problem is that this is a far cry from the justice league I wanted to watch all these years, and I'm sure that I'm not alone.. . But I'll still be praying that this is not the real story.
Anyways I've been enjoying your contributions on this thread.
I think it is in order for Kara to feature in the ancient motherbox war against Darkseid. The war took place thousands of years ago, whereas the scoutship in MOS is 20,000 years old according to scientific proof. My theory is that in the DCEU, Kara escaped Krypton in this scoutship. The scoutship had a malfunctioning FTL/Hyper drive from Krypton explosion and must have time-jumped her to ancient earth, the early times of Themiscyra and Atlantis.
There are so many rumours out there so I decided to add this video on reshoot rumours too. The highlights of the video include:
1. Darkseid's cameo has been removed 2. Lex Luthor's scenes have been removed 3. Deathstroke scenes have been removed 3. Superman gets more screentime 4. Steppenwolf's death has been abruptly changed 5. Cyborg and his father gets more screentime. 6. Cyborg's moody role has been lightened up 7. Of Course, Wonder Woman gets more roles
Warner Bros is very reactionary and I hope this JL project won't tank in the end.

TonySpike: WB has got Martins Scorcese to direct a Joker origin movie. A new actor might take the role of the joker other than Jared Leto.
Na wa o.. What about continuity.. Its becoming more obvious that this DCEU is a rushed work. Already in suicide squad they've shown us a glimpse of the jokers origin, at Arkham asylum. So its going to be really contradictory to bring another person in.
Anyway I think Jared Leto's joker did fine. His only problem was that gangster nonsense he was doing in suicide squad and that he had no real purpose in the movie.

Well, they said it might be an elseworld movie not necessarily a part of the DCEU. It leaves me confused that WB is gambling its way through the franchise instead of following the masterplan originally proposed by Nolan, Snyder and the rest. I think WB wants to explore all possible means to compete financially with Disney. DCEU is about the only successful franchise in current WB slates, apart from Harry Potter's Fantastic Beasts. My only grouse is that Geoff Johns is seemingly taking in all these silly and irrelevant DC projects for WB, I am disappointed in him. I strongly think Zack Snyder should exit this universe after JL. Then, perhaps WB will realise how quickly they are building castles in the air.
The Justice League rumoured end is a scene with Steppenwolf kneeling before darkseid who kills him with a powerful omega beam. Guess what, WB says the scene is too dark! The new ending might have Wonder Woman assisting in propelling Steppenwolf towards the apokalips machine that kills him.

Yeah i now get it, this is not going to be part of the DCEU, so it won't hurt continuity.
WB has deviated from their original plan, and we both know its because of the critics ( they've been too harsh). The original dark themes that started with Man of Steel and continued into BvS worked very well with me. I just wish they would leave things that way.
But if done properly, this should not hurt WB. It would just be like what FOX did with Wolverine ( giving him a franchise of his own separate from the X men). And yes i believe that the Joker is a character big enough that he deserves his own movie.
To an extent i'm excited about this. For the first time we would see the joker through his eyes, and not the eyes of Batman. Maybe the guy has a point. Maybe the guy is not even as crazy as we think.
The only set back is that it would be against something Christopher Nolan believes in. He believes the joker should not have any origin story, that it would make us want to understand and sympathize with him. He believes the Joker should never be understood, that why if you notice they never tried to give us any background knowledge about the Joker in The Dark Knight.
All in all, i'm open to this. All i want is a good and engaging story.
As for Zack Snyder. Like i have said i enjoyed MOS and BvS, but he would probably leave soon. The universe is about to turn to a comedy series, which Snyder is not cut out for.
And finally apart from Fantastic Beasts, WB still have their MONSTERVERSE which have 2 films so far with over 1 billion in returns.
But if Snyder leaves, who would you want to take over affairs of DCEU

At this stage, I don't know who should take over the affairs of DCEU. That position is both intellectually and time consuming. It requires a great mind who can connect the dots, someone with a passion for bring comic book alive with scientific fact. That position is too big for Geoff Johns, in my opinion. Same also for Joss Whedon. The DCEU is a mixture of Sci Fi, fantasy, action and comic book lores. This is a very odd combination of genres with few successful directors like James Cameron, Stephen Spielberg, Christopher Nolan and his brother, Jonathan, Peter Jackson and maybe Zemeckis. Snyder along with his team did a lot of brainwork, except that the critics wanted something so different making WB to bulge. Let's see where things head to for now...
TonySpike: Matt Reeves The Batman trilogy is being proposed to be an elseworld DC movie like the Joker origin. I wonder what WB is up to?
the media mistook what matt reeves said. Its still in the Dceu but WB is lo0king to create elsewhere world films with dc characters. And its n0t even a given yet as everything relies on JL doing well or n0t. If JL doesn't, they start afresh, if it does, you w0n't hear of else world m0vies again. Its just damage c0ntrol and PR to save face should JL fail. If u ask me, WB is trying to ruin the dceu. They did with suicide squad and bvs, n0w its JL. Notice how WW was well recieved becos they didn't meddle in things? N0w, they're meddling with JL. I tel u, its n0t Zack thats the problem, its WB. They are too reacti0nary. N0w, Eisenberg's scenes are going to be cut. If they c0ntinue with this, h0nestly i may end up n0t seeing justice league.
WB is famous for chopping movies till you can't make sense of the storyline. See how they ruined BVS and Suicide Squad? Suicide Squad was the most painful to watch with its trailer-like approach and silly third act. Truly, the scenes in the third act of WW and SS might have been reshoots because they are so silly and could have only been a product of WB's "less complex" endings. Imagine them cutting off Darkseid's awesome and brutal final scene of burning Steppenwolf with omega beam in Justice League, that is very foolish.
If I might say, I hope the final cut of Justice League won't be given to a trailer company to edit like SS though...lol
