Justice League: Snyder Cut - 10 Cuts Warner Bros Should NEVER Have Made

10. The Batcave

Many viewers were disappointed to see Bruce Wayne's HQ in Justice League was changed from the traditional Batcave into an abandoned aerospace hangar.

It goes without saying that Zack Snyder wanted the Batcave to look like an ACTUAL Batcave. According to an Empire journalist who visited the set, the Batcave he saw was very similar to the one depicted in the Tim Burton films.

Snyder always intended there to be a hangar but it wasn't supposed to be Batman's headquarters. The building's purpose was to house equipment and vehicles that were too large for the Batcave (such as Batman's Flying Fox ship). When we first see the hangar, some viewers didn't even realise the room was supposed to be Batman's central base of operations!

Perhaps the original Batcave was removed because Warner Bros. thought it would be cost effective to give Bats one main base. Whatever the reason, it feels like a misstep since the dark, gloomy Batcave is supposed to represent Batman's dark past and broody nature. Turning his main HQ into... a big room doesn't have the same effect.

Imagine if Aquaman's home was anything except Atlantis. It just seems like a disservice to the character.
