So now that we've all finally got to see the infamous Snyder Cut of DC's The Justice League, we're good right? Wrong! Now the people want to make it CANON! Well Theorists, what if I told you it already was? What if the original vision of Zack Snyder's Justice League has ALWAYS been canon? That's right! Before you send off that #RestoreTheSnyderVerse tweet, watch this video! It may have you saying #SnyderVerseIsAlreadyCanon instead.

As for the Joker bit of sending the Boy Wonder to do a man's job I always imagined it as Lois having been kidnapped BY The Joker and Batman sending Robin to save her, ultimately leading to both of their deaths, setting Superman into his grief. It would further explain Batman's reluctance to working with the Joker on Knightmare, him calling a truce with the card and Joker's meta knowledge of the situation as well

I think the arrowverse could have helped as well. What they're doing makes a lot more sense compared to DCEU and even what Marvel does in terms of alternate realities, the multiverse, etc.

[@FraserSouris]

The issue is, why? How is this an improvement? This video ignores so much seemingly for no good reason. Firstly from just a meta perspective, why do Flashpoint just to make 2 timelines to preserve the version of the 2017 film that was disliked and not even considered canon by other DCEU films and directors? Had Snyder had his way from the beginning, we would have had the superior version from 2017 and never had to discuss preserving the worse one. Like, imagine if Matpat had to take a leave of absence while working on a video, then his editors turned that video into a Frankenstein's mess of a video that MP hated and then MP came back and made the original video that should have been made in the first place. Why then would he want to keep the terrible version? It's the same for Snyder. Even his wife and Christoper Nolan told him not to watch the Whedon Cut. Snyder himself dislikes the Whedon Cut. So why preserve it as canon? Secondly, from a storytelling standpoint, what does this accomplish? Like, regarding the whole "good and bad" endings, Whedon's cut ends on a more positive note. There's no upcoming threat of Darkseid. All references to the Knightmare Timeline are gone (also many characters like Aquaman are very different from how they'd be portrayed in their own solo movies). So how would it be the "bad ending"? While Snyder's "good ending" was a set up for 2 more JL movies where Knightmare happens and Darkseid invades. Whedon's version is a narrative cul-de-sac so what does keeping it canon accomplish? I'm disappointed in MP. It feels like he's using this video to just quickly throw in a Flashpoint "solution" while ignoring everything else.

Part of me wonders if they may use Flashpoint to take the best parts of both timelines and combine them. Considering Flashpoint is a time traveling event of such magnitude to change events before and after the initial time-travel point (IE: Barry going back in time to save his mom effects events that happened before that via "Time Boom") So the Knightmare as we know it could be erased permanently in the Post-Flashpoint DCEU as the circumstances for it to occur would be erased via the combining of the Synder and Joss Timelines, add in a even more experienced version of the Flash running around in this new timeline, they would be even more capable of at least preparing for Darksied as this Flash would have at the very least subconsciously seen 2 Bad endings (Knightmare and Flashpoint), so would be wanting to warn others about this. As for what the Post-Flashpoint DCEU timeline would look like, that is TBD, although I do say based on filming times if Robert's "The Batman" becomes the Batman of the new DCEU likely hinges on that movie's success. If it succeeds, they film a quick post-credit scene ala what happened with Barry (DCEU) and Barry (CW-Arrowverse) meeting during Crisis on Infinite Earths, and put it at the end of Flashpoint with Barry seeing Pattinson's Batman. If it flops, they decide to leave it ambiguous or pick a different person to be the Batman in the new DCEU (as iirc Flash is the last movie Ben is playing Batman in)

I like this scenario: - In Josstice League: Steppenwolf is not killed at all and the heroes never know of Darkseid. As a result, Darkseid attacks the Earth, the heroes are not capable of defeat him. They loose (the Knightmare sequence is basically the end). Then Flash creates a Flashpoint at that moment: - Then the Snyder Cut happens, it’s a different universe where MoS, BvS, SS and WW still happen, but this time the heroes destroy Steppenwolf and now they know of Darkseid, and also get additional help like Martian Manhunter (who in this universe is Harry Lennix’ character). - The new Flash movie is said to happen as a sequel for Snyder Cut and will feature a new timeline.

[@foxdavion6865]

My question is; where does the streamed series tie into this? Such as The Flash (series), Green Arrow (series) and Titans? BTW Multiverse has always been a thing in DC; First seen in the comics in the 80s and was very prevalent in the 90s and 2000s cartoons and video games from a decade ago. I think they're just falling back to it with the live action for a standpoint of pure convenience that it has to make up for their mistakes, which is a bit of a cop out, but understandable and can easily be justified by the lore. However, see here, the problem is they're making it *too obvious* so there isn't a shadow of a doubt it's different timelines through exposition dumps. Which... is not lore accurate; In both the comics and the cartoons/games which dealt with this stuff, only a small number of characters knew about the multiverse. That being Perpetua, Trigon, Anti-Monitor, Elaine Belloc and The Presence. Other characters suspect or theorize it exists or become aware of it being fact over time, this includes Doctor Manhattan, The Flash and Time Trapper - Other characters find proof of it's existence via the aforementioned characters. As much as the Synder Cut is good, I find a lot of characters knowing, who shouldn't know a bit of a stretch. So... a Flash film addressing that would comfortably fix that plot hole. Compared to the Marvel Universe, which doesn't really contain a multiverse thanks to the TVA; It only really has 3 Timelines, 1 for the movie universe and two separate cannon universes featured in the comics.

[@FraserSouris]

The issue is, why? How is this an improvement? This video ignores so much seemingly for no good reason. Firstly from just a meta perspective, why do Flashpoint just to make 2 timelines to preserve the version of the 2017 film that was disliked and not even considered canon by other DCEU films and directors? Had Snyder had his way from the beginning, we would have had the superior version from 2017 and never had to discuss preserving the worse one. Like, imagine if Matpat had to take a leave of absence while working on a video, then his editors turned that video into a Frankenstein's mess of a video that MP hated and then MP came back and made the original video that should have been made in the first place. Why then would he want to keep the terrible version? It's the same for Snyder. Even his wife and Christoper Nolan told him not to watch the Whedon Cut. Snyder himself dislikes the Whedon Cut. So why preserve it as canon? Secondly, from a storytelling standpoint, what does this accomplish? Like, regarding the whole "good and bad" endings, Whedon's cut ends on a more positive note. There's no upcoming threat of Darkseid. All references to the Knightmare Timeline are gone (also many characters like Aquaman are very different from how they'd be portrayed in their own solo movies). So how would it be the "bad ending"? While Snyder's "good ending" was a set up for 2 more JL movies where Knightmare happens and Darkseid invades. Whedon's version is a narrative cul-de-sac so what does keeping it canon accomplish? I'm disappointed in MP. It feels like he's using this video to just quickly throw in a Flashpoint "solution" while ignoring everything else.

[@DradthemercenaryXV]

@@FraserSouris first off, you say it ignores so much, but you only mention 1 thing, the optimism of josstice league, and its not hard to fix that, at all Josstice league is the dimension where batman interpreted the visions as just dreams, and the snyder cut is the dimension where batman kept thinkin about them as possible As for the mp example you made, if mp can make bank out of that situation by makin more tie in videos, he definitively would, just like anyone smart enough to see the foresight in it. Trust me, we have seen this before with days of future past movie, not only is it possible, but a reference of the case exists and its easily available

[@FraserSouris]

@@DradthemercenaryXV The difference is with Days of Future Past, it was done as an in-universe way to reset out of a difficult situation as you couldn't just replace X3 and didn't want to reboot the franchise. With JL, you already have a replacement movie that other films have always used as canon. James Wan for example, has stated he used Snyder's version of Aquaman rather than Whedon's. Josstice League also doesn't even have interesting consequence that make it worth preserving like X3 did with the Pheonix that could be incorporated into other timelines. It doesn't create an alternate timeline that has a varied ripple effect. It's effectively a worse version of an existing movie so preserving it as canon offers nothing aside from the novelty of the situation. In other words, there is no storytelling benefit from it which means trying to make tie ins won't make much money and likely only confuse more casual fans. Plus, there's also the aspect that "preserving a twisted version of a film that not even the director and other cast and crew are happy to think about given the rough development". You can come up with a million different ways of justifying the 2 being canon, but the bigger issue is that there's very little value in doing it.

[@20secondmemes]

Another thing that suggests that josstice league is the same timeline as the knightmare universe is, in the soundtrack for josstice league there’s a song called “everybody knows” and in that song it says “everybody knows that the good guys failed”
