Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince try to bring the metahumans of Earth together after the death of Clark Kent. Meanwhile, Darkseid sends Steppenwolf to Earth with a vast army to subjugate humans.
Many fans expressed interest in an alternate cut more faithful to Snyder's vision, which they and members of the cast and crew nicknamed the "Snyder Cut". Industry insiders considered the release unlikely. However, Warner Bros. decided to move ahead with it in February 2020; in May, Snyder announced that the original cut would be released as Zack Snyder's Justice League via the streaming service HBO Max. It cost around $70 million to complete the visual effects, score, and editing, with new material filmed in October 2020. The release was originally planned as both a six-episode miniseries and a four-hour film, but the miniseries concept was scrapped in January 2021. The film is dedicated to the memory of Snyder's daughter, Autumn.
