Dopo l'uscita di BvS i piani per realizzare un two parter con JL 1 e 2 vennero cancellati, e il primo film divenne molto più standalone di quanto sarebbe dovuto essere. In ogni caso, a grandi linee, sappiamo perfettamente i macropiani di Snyder per quella che a quel punto era diventata una trilogia della JL. Molte idee contenute nei due filmpensati all'inizio sarebbero state usate per i due sequel di JL, di cui comunque non era mai stato redatto alcuno script. Se vi può interessare ve li linko:
JL 2
Batman senses the threat unending and not fully finished decides to take the fight to Apokolips, after introducing the Green Lanterns to the rest of the League.Superman feels a call of duty but remains hesitant to leave, having just found out that Lois is pregnant with his child. Batman convinces him they need him.Alfred stays in Bruce’s penthouse with Lois to protect her.
Wonder Woman, aware of Bruce’s Knightmare, joins with lacking conviction.Flash and Cyborg also agree to go, as Cyborg’s Mother Box visions depict a war.Aquaman refuses due to his new role as king following the events of Aquaman (2018), but is convinced by Mera to join the team.The League uses Bruce’s remodelled Flying Fox to leave Earth as Cyborg opens a portal to New Genesis, meeting a recent alliance between the New Gods and Green Lantern Corp to stop Darkseid.Darkseids forces overpower the League, New Gods and Lanterns, destroying their chances to return to Earth.
Darkseid uses the Codex within Superman’s DNA and engineers it as a weapon to manipulate Free Will. Superman trapped in New Genesis without the yellow sun, is not strong enough to fight back.Darkseid travels to Earth with his armies, aiming to conquer the planet now that nobody is there to stop him.
Batman’s tactical plans fail and turn the League against him, fully cementing him in isolation when Darkseid levels the entire Earth, killing billions and transforming it to New Apokolips.The League eventually makes it back to a fallen Earth, falling apart and disbanding, one by one.Superman, having witnessed a second planet of his destroyed, as well as the loss of Martha, Lois and unborn child, falls to the Anti Life Equation. He fights and kills Darkseid, taking back Earth from Apokolips, and establishing the Knightmare timeline.
JL3
Metropolis, Gotham, Themyscria, Atlantis, all gone.Superman is a dictator.
Batman, a deformed Cyborg and the Flash construct a cosmic treadmill, Bruce instructs The Flash to run back in time and warn everyone not to go to Apokolips.
Batman attempts to launch an assault upon the Kryptonian by locating the last remaining piece of Kryptonite, once used by Batman and Superman to kill Doomsday.
Batman is caught and overpowered. Superman imprisons and executes Bruce, blaming him for taking his world away.After the Flash warns everyone preparing to leave, including the League and the Lanterns, he dies as the time-jump window rips him apart between the future and the past.
The League redraws their battle plans, deciding to unite the forces of Earth and prepare for the final conflict between Apokolips and Earth. Lois, now pregnant with Clarks child, is brought to the Batcave under guard by Alfred. Green Lantern beacons for all Lanterns to converge to protect sector 2814.Batman, now knowing that Lois is the key to Superman’s good side, and the Codex mixed with human DNA, he continues to develop a weapon to kill Darkseid.
Darkseid and his armies arrive, but now the league has the homefield advantage and have prepared. Now that the Seven are United, along with the armies of Mankind, Atlantis, The New Gods & the Green Lantern Corps, Darkseids forces are pushed back.
In the midst of the battle, Lois goes into labor and gives birth to Superman’s son in the Batcave. Despite the major victory, the League and its forces are severely injured, including Superman who is significantly weakened after the fight.Darkseid uses a Boom Tube to the Batcave, intending on harvesting the Codex/Life Equation from the newborn due to its mix of Codex and human DNA, with a plan to engineer the anti-life equation.
Before he’s able to kill the child, Batman steps between Lois and Darkseid, firing the Anti-God gun and hitting Darkseid.Before Darkseid dies, he fires an omega beam, hitting Batman and killing him directly.Superman and the League mourn Batman’s death before accepting the bitter sweet victory.
The world rejoices as Darkseid and his demons have died, gaining many more heroes in leiu of Batmans death.
Clark and Lois name their newborn Jonathan Bruce Kent, in honour of the man who saved the world.
In pratica avremmo visto un Superman tiranno che governa sulla Terra della timeline Knightmare, avremmo visto morire Lois, Flash e Batman. Darkseid sarebbe morto due volte, come Thanos guardacaso... e Bruce/Tony che punta a portare il conflitto nel pianeta natale del villain...
