-ZACK SNYDER: Ready? -WOMAN: Ready.

Okay let's go.

Awesome, awesome. Well thanks guys,

it's awesome to be here at DC Fandome,

this is amazing, it's been quite a journey

with the DC fans, and I've had a great time bringing

some of these beloved DC titles to the big screen.

And the Justice League really is, for me,

and in this format, an amazing crown jewel.

As a community we were able to make this thing happen,

and we really appreciate it.

We're gonna shake it up a little bit for this panel,

and I'm gonna have some fans ask me questions,

I'm gonna ask some people questions,

we're gonna have some special guests, so,

let's get to it! We have some questions from fans

read to us by some of the amazing cast of Justice League.

Looks like next we have, Batman! My Batman.

Go ahead, Ben, what do you got?

I hope you guys are enjoying DC Fandome,

and I'm really excited for you to get a chance to see Zack's ultimate version

of Justice League on HBO Max, next year.

Well thank you Ben, I'm excited for everyone to see the film

as well! It's cool. What question do you have?

Patrick Mendoza wants to know,

"Who is your favorite superhero of all time?"

You know the answer to that but go ahead answer it.

I guess my favorite hero of all time, other than Batman,

would have to be, sort of staying in the DC world, as I do,

It's gotta be Dr. Manhattan, from Watchmen.

I think, I don't know, for me he's like this super cool,

quantum superhero, who's time-space reality

all those things are at his fingertips, so yeah,

it's gotta be Dr. Manhattan.

That was awesome Ben, thank you so much, that was cool

and appreciate you stopping by. I think next, is it Superman?

Hello everybody, my name is Henry Cavill,

and I promise you, that I am not in prison,

this is just my place of work.

I hope you're enjoying DC Fandome,

and I have a fan question for Zack Snyder from Swapnil.

"As a storyteller, what is the dynamic between

the Justice League that is important for you to present on the screen?"

Zack, over to you.

It's a great question and thank you so much.

I think the important thing, for me,

as the Justice League comes together,

is this idea that like, a lot of them, basically,

are loners, right? You have Batman,

who lives in a cave. His only buddy is Alfred really.

You got Wonder Woman who after Steve's demise,

she's been kind of keeping quiet.

You've have Flash, who's got these powers,

but he's kind of alone in the world.

And you have Cyborg, who you know,

in a lot of ways is not really happy about

what's happened to him.

This transformation he has to come to terms with it.

And then you have Aquaman who also is this loner.

And sort of thematically them coming together

and forming a family and finding in each other, support,

I think that's really what in the end,

drove me to want to see this happen.

Or see them come together.

And I think that when you take

all these different personalities

and bring them together into a single piece

it's a fun and awesome dynamic but also,

that's-- there's a "why" of doing it.

Alright, let's see. Who do we have next?

Is it Cyborg?

Hey, uh, Zack, what up man?

Uh, Ray Fisher here.

You know I am super excited about the Snyder Cut

getting dropped on HBO Max.

And uh, there are some folks that have a couple questions for you.

The first is from Eddie Gordon from the United States.

And that question is, "Which character are you

most excited to fully flesh out in your cut of Justice League?"

Interesting that you should ask me that,

because of course it's Cyborg.

Cyborg is the heart of the movie,

Cyborg is the thing that I think in the end

holds the team together in a lot of ways.

And uh, excited to see-- Or for fans to see

just how that is realized on camera.

And the second question is coming in from Ifran Kahm,

from the United Kingdom. And their question is,

"When you started writing Justice League,

what thematic ideas were you most excited to tackle?"

Additionally, "How much of a challenge was it to keep

the tone mythological?"

I wanna know too, so, make sure you get up on those.

It's a great question. Um...

when Chris and I were talking about this movie,

I think the--

We're big fans of sort of the Joseph Campbell-ian,

you know, hero's journey, and also, this notion

that we would be creating a team, it's a--

They're knights of the Round Table joining together

in an epic adventure and this is the call to action film

that brings them, as a story, that brings them all together.

And I think...

it is a mythological concept to begin with, so,

keeping it mythological, and especially when you think

about it's Aquaman, it's Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg,

and then Superman, you're really talking about

a mythological group, you know?

Okay this is fun! Let's keep em' coming, who else?

I think next is, the Flash himself.

Mr. Maestro Zack Snyder, I mean, what other questions

can we ask? I think, we'd all like to know if we'll see

more of the handsome and talented Ezra Miller

in your cut.

I like the question Ezra, no agenda at all.

Very good. Uh, of course, they're gonna see tons more

of the Flash. I have a huge love for the Flash,

and for Ezra Miller, as you know.

Especially when you call me at the last second

and make me come work on music videos in the desert.

Uh, that's really kind of you. So... (LAUGHS).

But yes of course, Ezra, I think people are gonna

see a lot more of the Flash, and they're gonna get to see

a little but more of his emotional arc.

And uh, I hope they enjoy it.

Because I enjoyed seeing you, especially in this format.

Okay, looks like we've got, um...

Oh! We got something from Wonder Woman herself, Gal Gadot!

Zack, when you cast me in the role of Wonder Woman,

I had no idea what an amazing ride I was in for.

It's been life-changing to play this character,

mostly because I've got to meet so many incredible fans

around the world, who love her like we do.

Fans who, I hope, are all sharing

this experience today. 'Cause it's all happening

because of you. So, to all the fans

who asked for this cut, you obviously have

your own superpowers, because just like

the members of Justice League, you are stronger together.

And you made this possible, so thank you.

I love you.

Thanks, Gal, I can't wait for fans

to see you in Wonder Woman '84, which, uh,

is an amazing movie, and you are amazing in it.

And Patty, of course, did an amazing job.

So you guys are an awesome team, and, uh,

their minds are gonna be blown when they see that.

So, thanks again, that was great.

All right, let's see, who do we have next?

Hi, Zack, and everybody in the Justice League crew.

Um, I have a question. So, as somebody

who is so very excited to get to see your vision

of Justice League, and that you're finally getting

this chance to really show us the film that was always

intended, and one that we're all

super excited to see. I wanted to know,

probably what everybody wants to know, is,

can you hint something that you--

that the world has never seen, that you have been

so excited to let us all get a glimpse at?

-Um, without too many spoilers. -Okay, uh, hmm...

How do I do this without, uh, giving too many spoilers?

You're gonna see something with Flash in this film,

I don't think that you've ever seen before.

Something that has to do with his abilities.

'Cause, you know, he's a quantum character,

he does-- he interacts with time and space,

so you might see him do something that is timely.

But awesome, Patty, awesome question

and it's awesome to see you. All right, let's move along,

shall we? And, uh, I think

I wanna ask some questions. So let's get some people

on the line, if we can.

Uh, I'd like to get, uh, there's some super fans

we have standing by, I see. Uh, one of them is Fiona

from China. She is dear to our hearts,

she was one of the founding members

of the Snyder Cut movement. And really instrumental

in bringing it to all of us, so let's get her on the line

and say hi to her.

Oh, my God, Zack in his studio!

It's like a dream come true!

(LAUGHS) I'm gonna ask you some questions, are you ready?

Okay, I'm ready.

First off was, um, what about this movement

and the Snyder Cut, and the whole thing,

what was the thing that got you to say, like,

"Hey, you know what? I gotta like get involved with this."

After I saw Batman v Superman, in theaters four years ago

in China, I was blown away.

After watching Justice League, it was immediately clear

that many parts of the film were not consistent

with your usual filmmaking style.

So we are the fans, we knew that.

There was a real portion of the film out there,

we started asking for it. "Why-- why not?"

We're starting a petition, if you remember.

-Yeah. -That reached--

that reached to 180k people signed.

Then, I think, "It's not enough,"

so I created a website, for SnyderCut.com.

That allowed us to start doing some online

and real-world events, such as the Twitter trends,

raising money for AFSP, letter writing

and phone calls to Warner Brothers.

-Now, here we are. -(CHUCKLES)

Awesome, wow! And look, look what happened.

You guys did it, it's unbelievable.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can't believe it.

So did you really think it was gonna happen though?

When we-- When we really started to--

when it got closer?

It all started with hope and a dream.

There are so many movements, that say you can never

go beyond that, to actually achieve a dream,

you need organization and selflessness.

Then we have a team that--

who put a billboard in Times Square.

Yeah, it's amazing.

-I think you remember that. -Yeah! Fantastic!

When you see all these people, when you fight alongside

such a kind and generous people,

you know it's not possible, it's a certainty.

-Yeah, yeah. -Even with as many obstacles,

uh, we know we will win this.

Yeah, it's funny-- I always thought it was funny

that like, the scale started to get bigger

and bigger. And we would notice, like,

"Oh, my gosh..." And I first remember

because it was like a bus stop in--

in Comic Con, and then a billboard

in Times Square. And then on the--

the anniversary of Justice League,

and it just goes completely nuts

and everyone was like, "Okay..."

It like snowballed, rolling, rolling,

it was a big snowball.

Yeah, a giant snowball, yeah.

What was your favorite moment for you in the whole, uh,

-experience? -Uh, I think my answer

to this question evolved. I started because, uh,

I admire you, I love you, I want to fight for you,

and your work. But as time passed,

it became just as much about fighting

alongside my full community members.

It's powered from art, mostly. Power from your art,

you empowered us.

Well that's-- that's amazing, and kind.

And, uh, well, it's amazing to see you,

and thank you so much for, uh, connecting with us.

Uh, I can't wait to come to China.
