Talking about the timeline ofZack Snyder’s Justice League,the director claimed that he had indeed preserved some of the intense stuff as he had a hunch that Warner Bros. Discovery would need it for the future.

In an interview, Snyder stated that he had a hunch that Warner Bros. would come around and ask him to make the Snyder Cut. He further stated that he had preserved some of the intense stuff before his departure and was ready with the scenes in mind and a movie to be made.
“I always preserved some of the more intense stuff that I shot anyway. I thought they would, in retrorespect, they would maybe want”

Although Snyder’s version was considered pretty grim and dark, the original script was much darker and weirder than what was released! Snyder even revealed that Warner Bros. wanted some comedy in the film since funny movies were getting love from the people and they did try to make it a bit comedic.
“The script for Justice League did evolve out of that. I’ll be honest, the script, what happened with Justice League, because we had a very … the original script was much darker and weirder, and then Batman v Superman came out, and the studio was like, ‘It’s not funny enough, people want funnier movies, they want funny stuff in it.’”
He further stated that he and Chris Terrio did try to make the film a bit more comedic than the original and they had Ezra Miller for the role of an irrelevant immature kid in the world of gods and monsters.
“I’ll be frank, Chris [Terrio] and I are not the funniest guys in the world, we’re not like awesome joke writers … I’m just 100% honest about that [Laughs]. We had Ezra and he’s pretty funny, that was kind of his role, to be the Flash, and be young, and be a little irreverent and in awe of Batman and Superman. And he did a great job, and that part was great.”
Although the comedic and humorous parts felt disconnected fromZack Snyder’s Justice League,the movie was well-received by the audience. After Snyder’s departure, there were some pretty significant changes in the franchise which seemed to distance itself from Snyder’s vision further and further.
