Snyder's Legion of Doom Plan Would've Massively Changed Batman & Flash
In Zack Snyder’s planned sequels to Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Lex Luthor would have formed the Legion of Doom, which would have significantly changed Batman and The Flash’s solo movie outings. Zack Snyder had long-term plans for the DCEU film franchise, laying out multi-film character arcs for superheroes like Superman and setting up both the Knightmare future and a final confrontation between the Justice League and Darkseid in his planned Justice League sequels. For better or worse, Snyder’s involvement in DC’s films appears to be over, with the franchise shifting in a new direction with a new version of Batman which exists outside of the DCEU timeline, and 2023’s The Flash, which will bring about a major continuity shift. Had Snyder’s plans been fulfilled, the DCEU would have a markedly different future, including the Batman and Flash films.
The theatrical version of Justice League movie was, ultimately, largely a disappointment for viewers and critics alike, lacking the heart and exciting payoffs that it’d later delight many with via its director’s cut. Unfortunately, the damage was already done by the time Snyder’s iteration of the superhero film was released, as WB was already moving away from his original vision for the DCEU’s future. Ben Affleck’s exhaustion with the Batman role led to a phenomenal new version of the Dark Knight, thanks to Matt Reeves’ The Batman while The Flash’s upcoming film will feature Affleck’s final performance as the Caped Crusader, after which he’ll be replaced in the DCEU by Michael Keaton, reprising his role as Batman from the classic Tim Burton films.
