Other than the swipe at "toxic fans" and quotes from a Snyder hater, the article is worthwhile.

The "noxious fan" bit rly gets old. People bantz each other online. That's what the Internet has always been.

When it comes to actually malicious, nobody seems to ever have a screen shot or any other proof. It's like it's a self-propagating lie that nobody ever bothers to fact-check. Vanity Fair is a member in good standing of the mainstream media. And dammit, there's a narrative to reinforce here. And they'll reinforce by any means necessary. But by now, I would hope that any free-thinking individual will demand proof of all these alleged abusive fans and their supposed bad behavior. Put up or shut up, journalists. Something isn't true just because a wide variety of mainstream fake news hacks keep repeating it.

The VF article rly is making a pretty big splash. Even a lot of haters seem to have gotten something out of it.

I'm glad they nixed that Bruce and Lois relationship subplot. That's too much like Pearl Harbor.

I don't think it would've been a relationship. Snyder said something like "Bruce develops feelings for Lois" but I haven't seen anything to make me think his feelings were mutual.

Tell me about it. As a matter of fact, there is proof of bloggers engaging in the sort of behaviour they condemn so much, such as Kayleigh Donaldson. She ought to take a good hard look at herself before she calls out anybody else for toxic behaviour as she did in that article:

Definitely. There is so much to take from it, from Deborah Snyder AND Christopher Nolan shielding Zack from watching Josstice League to save his state of mind, to Snyder himself calling out the studio's agenda in trying to release the unfinished cut and the emotions of going through such a turmoil behind the scenes.

Gotta love these photos from the additional photography.

That Passion of the Clown picture is absolutely priceless.
"Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humour was provided to console him for what he is."

I can see how religious people would find this photo blasphemous, but I reckon it's perfectly outrageous for the Joker. Besides, it's not the first time such blasphemous imagery happened in Batman-related media, as you can see in the last page of Batman: Damned #1.



I found a couple of new pictures. Here is another black and white photo of Knightmare Batman:



And while WB Pictures appears to try its best to sabotage ZSJL by announcing a brand new Superman project produced by JJ Abrams, Snyder uploaded this great new artwork of Superman and various Easter eggs throughout his journey in the DCEU thus far. This artwork is apparently going to appear on IGN Fan Fest.

From what I can tell, the Easter eggs are:


  • Superman's arms appearing in a similar pose to the statue in BvS.
  • The stab wound to the chest by Doomsday.
  • The Black Zero ship from MOS.
  • The school bus that Clark rescued when he was a teen in MOS.
  • The Kryptonite spear from BvS.
  • The red-glowing Mother Box behind Superman from ZSJL.
  • The statue of the Daily Planet globe, that Clark walked past by during the end of MOS
  • Krypton and what appears to be baby Kal-El's escape pod appearing at the top of the picture, from MOS.
  • The Codex key from MOS.

Not to mention the entire artwork resembles exactly as the holographic graphics that Jor-El showed to Clark about Krypton's history in MOS.

Come to think of it, I may be wrong, that planet might be Earth and the other object couldbe the Codex, before it was converted into the key by Jor-El.

Zack Snyder was interviewed by IGN today. In this lengthy interview, he revealed there will be a black and white version of the film dubbed "Justice is Grey", and released this wonderful teaser of all six Justice League members as this 3D artwork, which includes the Superman art I showed yesterday. Harry Lennix made a surprise apperance asking a cheeky question about Martian Manhunter and General Swanwick.

I'm curious to see what that's all about.

Two new posters have dropped.



The one on the right with Batfleck staring at the camera is the best of the ZSJL posters that have been released, in my opinion. The other three are good (especially the tattered JL flag) but it's hard beating the actual characters. And this design is different enough from what we've seen before.

Zack Snyder to Receive Honor From Hollywood Critics Association (Exclusive)

The Hollywood Critics Association is set to give Zack Snyder its first-ever Valiant Award at the virtual 4th Annual HCA Film Awards ceremony on Friday.

"As a fan of Synder's ever since Dawn of the Dead, I couldn't be happier that we will be acknowledging his visionary filmmaking and resilience to overcome any obstacles," HCA chair Scott Menzel said in a statement on Wednesday.

Snyder, one of the biggest filmmakers in the superhero movie genre and the director of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and his upcoming cut of Justice League, is being honored for how he and his wife, Deborah Snyder, who is a producer on Justice League, responded to the death of their daughter, Autumn Snyder, by suicide in March 2017 at age 20.

"As someone whose own life was impacted due to suicide, I was extremely moved by how Zack and his wife and business partner Deborah turned their incommensurable pain into altruistic action, spearheading an effort that has helped countless individuals and families," HCA chair Ashley Menzel added in her own statement.

In December of 2020, Snyder and his fanbase helped raise over $500,000 dollars for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention. To raise additional funds for the AFSP during the HCA Film Awards, the Hollywood critics association plans to purchase a host of Snyder's merchandise on the Ink to the People fundraising platform to give away on their social media channels during the ceremony.

Snyder is set to release his own cut of Justice League on March 18 on HBO Max. And the epic zombie action-thriller Army of the Dead, which he co-wrote with Shay Hatten and directed for Netflix, is set to launch on May 21.

Snyder is also producing the German language prequel of Army of the Dead for Netflix, as well as an animated series of the same name.

The 4th annual HCA Film Awards will stream virtually on March 5 on the official HCA Facebook page and YouTube Channel.

As nice as a sentiment it may seem to honour the man for his perseverance during the last three years, it's going to look ugly when the critics with Snyder Derangement Syndrome use any hyperbolic excuse to tear ZSJL apart in a few weeks. But at least the chairman of the HCA can show his admiration and gratitude for the man and what he had achieved over the past year.
