Zack Snyder’s Justice League has chapter titles now

Zack Snyder’s Justice League will be four hours long, divided up into six chapters. Between this and Joker Jesus, I dunno if the internet is ready.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League, aka the Snyder Cut, comes out in just a few weeks. This is, to date, the first movie born because legions of people on the internet demanded it exist, and so now it does. A re-up of 2017’s Justice League that preserves more of original director Zack Snyder’s vision, it looks like it’s going to be…interesting. I mean, have you seen Joker Jeses?

It looks like Warner Bros. has given Snyder free rein to do whatever he wants with this movie, and he is not wasting the opportunity. Just the other day, the movie’s Twitter account revealed another self-important flourish: chapter titles, because isn’t this four-hour movie more of a book? It’s that significant, people.

There are six chapters in all. Let’s take a look at them:

Arthur “Aquaman” Curry says this to Bruce Wayne when the billionaire playboy/superhero tries to recruit him to be one of his “warriors.” We expect the same thing to happen here, but it will take longer.

This will probably involve backstory about aliens, Olympians, Atlanteans and Amazons battling Steppenwolf, the movie’s big bad.

The Mother Boxes are the key macguffin of the movie. Once united, they will allow Steppenwolf to wreck havoc on the Earth.

This one’s interesting. Why is it in quotes? Is it about Cyborg? He changed. He’s part machine. Or maybe there’s new material where Batman needs to make change so he can put air in the tires of the Batmobile.

This has gotta be the big climax where the Justice League faces off against Steppenwolf’s army.

Again with the quotes. Anyway, Snyder has teased that Darkseid — the even bigger badder villain for who Steppenwolf is working — will play a larger part in this movie than in the last one. This probably refers to him.

If Snyder had his way, Darkseid would have been the main villain for the sequels to Justice League. “[Justice League] was meant as the primer for another two movies,” he recently told Total Film, “not that those movies are ever going to get photographed, I don’t see that happening – and it stays true to that concept. It was meant to be like Lord Of The Rings and not a one-off. That’s the way I think about it.”

Well, hey, the Snyder Cut wasn’t likely to happen either, but here we are.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League comes out on March 18.
