Mera fan art work in progress. Still working on the likeness!

This is just a reminder of how the DCEU is very much grounded in the idea of compassion. Hippolyta drops what she’s doing when she sees one of her comrades is hurt. Bruce tells Barry that when he saves one person, he’ll know what to do. That’s what this is about. At its core, Justice League is a movie about hope and compassion and it doesn’t lose sight of that even in its big, messy action scene of a climax when Clark hears the civilians and knows someone needs to go help them.

It’s no secret that Joss Whedon reshot some scenes after Zack Snyder’s version of Justice League. Here are a few of the changes he made (minor spoilers):

Graphic violence has been toned down.

Numerous comedic one-liners have been added.

All references to the Bat-Segway have been removed.

Superman keeps his red and blue suit, instead of getting a new black and silver suit. Batman now keeps his black suit, instead of a new pink one.

Whedon removed most of the material featuring the Green Lantern Corps and replaced the action with a new character who did not appear in the original comics, called “The Flash.”

Lex Luthor has been cut from the movie almost completely, losing scenes in which he does laundry, eats at a cafeteria, plays Nintendo, kills Aquaman, and disputes the contract on his new yacht for which the escrow payments have not been made by the trust he set up for that purpose.

The ending sequence is completely new. In the original Zack Snyder version, the League fought Steppenwolf in a moving battle that spanned Russia, Alaska, and Seattle. One scene involved Steppenwolf throwing the entire Space Needle at Superman, who caught it and deflected it out to sea. This was not a creative choice by Whedon so much as a response to the actual destruction of the Space Needle by termites during the editing process.
