Zack Snyder has always been a visionary when it comes to expansive storytelling. His hold over comic book lore and the cinematic medium combined to give the audience and the studios an unprecedented experience that almost launched a rebellion across the globe for the sake of one film.

The five-part Justice League story that he had cooked up for the fans of the grimdark universe was to remain in the shadows, forever festering like an old untreated wound. However, Snyder has managed to outlive and outgrow the controversy and scandal wrought on by the DC Extended Universe.

In the aftermath, the director found himself accepting the possibility that he would never again visit the DC universe. As such, it was an easy decision to spoil the rest of his Justice League story, which was set to complete his five-part Dceu trilogy.
