WELCOME BACK TO "A LATE SHOW."

LET'S SAY HELLO TO MR. JON BATISTE.

JON, THIS ALBUM RIGHT HERE, "WE ARE," IT'S BLOWING UP.

PEOPLE ARE CRAWLING OUT OF THE WOODWORK TO TELL ME TO TELL YOU

HOW MUCH THEY'RE LOVING YOUR ALBUM.

CONGRATULATIONS.

>> Jon: OH, IT'S GREAT TO HEAR.

I'M GLAD PEOPLE ARE SPINNING IT, YOU KNOW?

>> Stephen: YEAH.

AND, JON, I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WINNING AWARDS LEFT AND

RIGHT.

YOU'RE JUST DRIPPING WITH GOLD AT THIS POINT, BUT DID YOU KNOW

THAT "THE LATE SHOW" WON THE WRITERS GUILD AWARD LAST NIGHT?

>> Jon: YES, I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

THIS WRITERS' ROOM IS INCREDIBLE.

I'VE SEEN YOU GUYS WORK, AND I'M JUST ALWAYS IN AWE.

IT'S LIKE SEEING THE GREATEST BAND IN THE WORLD.

>> Stephen: WELL, I'M SURE THEY LISTENING TO THIS RIGHT

NOW.

THEY WILL BE HONORED TO HEAR IT FROM YOU, ONE OF THE GREAT BAND

LEADERS OF THE WORLD, WHOSE NEW ALBUM IS "WE ARE," LADIES AND

GENTLEMEN.

GO GET IT NOW.

>> Jon: YEAH!

>> Stephen: JON BATISTE, EVERYBODY.

GIVE THEM A LITTLE MUSIC TO GO OUT ON, GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING?

>> Jon: OH, YES!

♪♪♪ >> Stephen: JON BATISTE,

EVERYBODY!

THANK YOU, JON!

>> Jon: YES!

>> Stephen: FOLKS, THIS WEEKEND SAW A NEW, EXPANDED

VERSION OF 2017'S "JUSTICE LEAGUE" RE-EDITED BY THE FILM'S

ORIGINAL DIRECTOR AND BARTENDER WHO INSISTS YOU SAY

"MIXOLOGIST," ZACK SNYDER.

SNYDER STEPPED AWAY BEFORE THE COMPLETION OF THE ORIGINAL 2017

PRODUCTION FOR PERSONAL REASONS, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT

IS WHY THE MOVIE TURNED OUT...

NOT THE BEST?

EVER SINCE, FANS HAVE BEEN DEMANDING TO SEE ZACK'S ORIGINAL

VISION.

SO, SNYDER SPENT THE LAST YEAR SHOOTING AND RE-EDITING THE

MOVIE, AND, ON THURSDAY, THE STUDIO FINALLY RELEASED THE

AFFECTIONATELY DUBBED "SNYDER CUT," A REIMAGINING OF THE FILM,

WHICH RUNS A SVELTE FOUR HOURS AND TWO MINUTES.

WHICH IS PERFECT FOR ANY MOVIEGOER WHO THOUGHT "YEAH,

THAT THAT FILM SUCKED, BUT WHAT IF IT WAS TWICE AS LONG?"

OF COURSE, MY FAVORITE PART OF ANY OF THESE SUPER HERO MOVIES

IS ALWAYS THE POST CREDIT SCENE.

AND THE ORIGINAL "JUSTICE LEAGUE" WAS NO EXCEPTION.

IF YOU STUCK AROUND ALL THE WAY TO THE VERY END, YOU WERE

TREATED TO A TEASER FOR A POTENTIAL SEQUEL, WHERE LEX

LUTHOR AND A CHARACTER NOT IN THE ACTUAL MOVIE, DEATHSTROKE,

DISCUSS STARTING THE LEGION OF DOOM.

TAKE A LOOK: >> AH, THERE HE IS.

WELCOME ABOARD.

CARE FOR A GLASS OF GUUDAYDIMON?

>> YOU BOATER NOT BE WASTING MY TIME.

>> I HAVE TOO MUCH TO LIVE FOR AND MUCH BETTOR THINGS TO DO.

WE HAVE TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD, MR. WILSON.

TO PUT IT PLAINLY, SHOULDN'T WE HAVE A LEAGUE OF OUR OWN.

>> Stephen: THAT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE SETTING UP

"A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN."

"WHAT, I'M SAYING, MR. DEATHSTROKE, IS THAT THERE'S NO

CRYING IN BASEBALL."

I LOVED THAT SCENE, AND I DIDN'T THINK THE NEW SNYDER CUT

EXPANDED ON THAT MOMENT IN THE WAY I FEEL A FOUR HOUR, TWO

MINUTE MOVIE SHOULD HAVE.

SO I HAVE MADE MY OWN FOUR HOUR, THREE MINUTE CUT OF ZACK'S CUT,

USING ONLY THAT 30 SECOND SCENE.

AND TONIGHT, I'M PROUD TO PRESENT A SNEAK PEAK.

>> WELL, WELL, WELL...

IF IT ISN'T DEAD POOL.

>> I'M DEATH STROKE.

OH, RIGHT, YEAH, SORRY, DEATH STROKE.

YOU JUST LOOK A LOT LIKE DEAD POOL.

>> STOP WASTING MY TIME.

IT'S JUST YOU BOTH WEAR RED AND BLACK AND HAVE SWORDS AND

GUNS AND I DON'T REALLY SEE THE DIFFERENCE.

OH!

YOU'VE GOT THE PATCH!

OKAY, THAT MAKES IT EASIER.

I'M GOING TO CALL YOU PIRATE DEAD POOL.

YOU CAN PUT IT BACK ON NOW.

BY THE WAY, COOL, ALL-LEATHER OUTFIT.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU WASH IT?

>> WHAT?

DO YOU HAVE A GOAT.

I DON'T HAVE ALL DAY.

>> Stephen: REALLY?

BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS YOUR ONLY SCENE.

ETH NOT LIKE YOU'RE OFF FIGHTING WHO'S YOUR AMP ENEMY?

>> BATMAN.

>> Stephen: I'M GOING TO FACT CHECK YOU THERE, HOLMES.

PRETTY SURE BATMAN'S ARCH ENEMY IS THE JOKER.

>> TECHNICALLY, IN THE COMICS, I FIGHT ROBIN.

>> Stephen: THE KID?

HE'S A TEEN.

I FIGHT HIM AND THE OTHER TEEN TITANS.

>> Stephen: WAIT.

YOUR WHOLE THING IS YOU FIGHT A TEAM OF TEENAGERS?

WHERE DO YOU DUKE IT OUT, THE MALL?

>> SHUT UP LUTHER.

>> Stephen: WHERE'S YOUR SECRET LAYER, THE FOOD COURT?

>> UP.

>> Stephen: UNDER THE ORANGE JULIUS?

CALIFORNIA KITCHEN?

STOP ME IF I GET TO ONE OF THESE.

>> GET TO THE POINTS.

>> Stephen: YEAH, GET TO THE POINT.

I AM STARTING A TEAM OF SUPERVILLAINS AND I WANT YOU IN

IT.

>> OKAY.

>> Stephen: JUST TO BE CLEAR, WE'RE FIGHTING ADULTS.

>> I DON'T JUST FIGHT TEENS.

>> Stephen: SURE, SURE, I TOTALLY BELIEVE YOU.

CARE FOR SOME CHATEAU?

>> NO, THANKS.

>> Stephen: WE HAVE CRAZY STRAUS.

>> JUST TELL ME THE PLAN, LUTHER.

( SLURPING ) >> FOCUS, LUTHER!

>> Stephen: HEY!

NOT COOL, DEAD SHOT!

>> IT'S DEATH STROKE.

>> Stephen: THEN WHO'S DEAD SHOT.

>> THAT'S WILL SMITH'S CHARACTER IN SUICIDE SQUAD.

>> Stephen: BUT I HAVE THIS PICTURE OF YOU LABELED DEAD

SHOT.

>> THAT'S NOT ME.

THAT'S DEAD SHOT.

>> Stephen: THAT'S WHAT I SAID, DEAD SHOT.

YOU'RE SAYING YOU AND HIM ARE TWO DIFFERENT GUYS AND NEITHER

OF YOU ARE THIS GUY?

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> Stephen: YOUR NAMES ARE DEAD POOL, DEATH SHOT, DEATH

STROKE.

THESE ARE LITERALLY THE SAME NAMES.

HOW DO YOU TELL EACH OTHER APART?

OH, RIGHT, THESE GUYS DON'T FIGHT KIDS.

>> THIS ISN'T THAT HARD, DEAD SHOT IS MARVEL.

HE'S NOT EVEN D.C.

>> Stephen: MARVEL, MARVEL OR SONY MARVEL.

>> 20th CYNICALLY FOX, SONY.

ISN'T IT THE SAME.

SONY IS ITS OWN THING, MARVEL GOT SPIDER-MAN AND DISNEY MERGED

WITH 20th CENTURY FOX.

>> Stephen: THEY'RE ALL DISNEY.

>> WAIT, WHAT.

>> Stephen: >> Stephen: LET ME BREAK IT

DOWN FOR YOU.

IN THE 1990s, MARVEL WAS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SO THEY DECIDED

TO SAVE THEIR AS BY SELLING OFF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES TO

STUDIOS.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH LUKE CAGE AND IRON FIST,

THAT'S NETFLIX, KIND OF ITS OWN UNIVERSE.

>> WOW.

>> Stephen: FORGET THE FANTASTIC FOUR.

>> HUH.

>> Stephen: THAT'S WHY SPIDER-MAN IS NOT IN THE VENOM

MOVIES.

>> OKAY.

>> Stephen: AND TECHNICALLY THAT'S WHY BABY YODA IS AN

AVENGER.

>> WOW, THAT IS COMPLEX.

>> Stephen: SPEAKING OF WHICH, IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN THE

LEGION OF DOOM YOU HAVE TO FILL OUT STARK PAPERWORK.

>> WHAT?

I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.

>> Stephen: I'M SORRY, THOSE ARE THE TERMS.

BUT YOU GET A CUT OF ALL YOUR MERCH SALES WHICH I THINK ARE

REALLY GOING TO BE HUGE.

>> YOU REALLY THINK SO?

>> Stephen: YEAH, YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A BIG FAN BASE.

WHAT ARE FANS YOURS CALLED, STROKEHEADS, STROKE HARD,

CITIZENS OF STROKE NATION?

>> THAT'S IT, I'M OUT!

>> Stephen: WHAT'S THE MATTER, CAN'T YOU TAKE A STROKE?

( GROWLING ) >> Stephen: HEY!

DEAD POOL!

YOU LEFT YOUR BRIEFCASE!

( SUSPENSEFUL NEWS ) AND WHY IS IT TICKING?

( BLAST ) I'M OKAY!

>> STEPHEN: CALL ME D.C.!

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH ROBERT DOWNEY JR.
