It’s here now, because it’s not like Snyder was going to cut Snyder from the Snyder Cut. Snyder teased this cameo way back in 2018 on Vero, his preferred social-media platform, but the scene didn’t make it into Whedon’s theatrical release. When Lois Lane exits the coffee shop toward the beginning of the movie, keep an eye out for the man sitting in the window behind her. Update 3/25/21: We’ve added new Easter eggs to our original post after having more time to comb the four-hour-long movie’s depths. We’re including pretty much everything and providing background context to boot, because that feels very true to the spirit of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Some of the following Easter eggs are subtle allusions to deep cuts of comic lore, while others are fairly major characters or obvious plot points. We’re including those returning instances in this roundup and identifying anything that’s exclusive to Zack Snyder’s Justice League with a “new” label to help you distinguish. Seeing as Zack Snyder’s Justice League is an alternate, expanded version of the original (critically panned) Justice League that premiered in theaters four years ago - albeit one that’s literally twice as long - there are many Easter eggs and references that fans already spotted when the movie first came out. What shouldn’t come as a surprise is that Zack Snyder’s Justice League is stuffed with plenty of fun, geeky Easter eggs for fans willing to embark on this behemoth of a movie.

That the four-hour film is actually pretty entertaining (if flawed) might be even more surprising still. If you have seen or are a fan of Smallville, forget about the Martian Manhunter who appears in the series, put on Earth by Superman’s father to watch over him and protect him if necessary. It has nothing to do with it. In this case we are not clear how it came, but we do distrust the power of Superman. It is clear to us in Superman: The Man of Steel, especially now that we already know who he is. His interest in controlling Superman has to do with his ability to assess the dimension that Superman’s power represents. It is true that the more you know him, the more you trust him and his death, as we see in Batman vs. SupermanIt leaves him visibly affected, not to mention his misgivings during the fight with Doomsday (he remembers that he did not want to launch the missile at Kal-El). The message of the future from Flash to Bruce Wayne in that same movie has a lot to do with the Martian Manhunter’s misgivings: you were right to mistrust him. But not because Superman is a villain, but because he is a weapon of mass destruction that if it falls into the wrong hands is lethal to Humanity.We’re now living in a post-Snyder Cut - known properly on HBO Max as Zack Snyder’s Justice League - world, a development in film that is no doubt still surprising to some fans.
