Justice League: The Snyder Cut - 10 Huge Moments From The Trailer You May Have Missed

10. Uxas Attacks Earth

It's hard to miss the trailer's opening shot as Uxas - better known as Darkseid - finally makes his presence felt in the DC Extended Universe. However, what you may not realise is what the iconic villain is up to here as he swings that massive weapon towards the ground.

This clearly takes place during the "history lesson" portion of Justice League, and Darkseid is shown activating the Anti-Life Equation for the first time here. That gives him total control over the minds of sentient beings, though it obviously didn't work out this time as we know from the theatrical cut that he's eventually defeated before targeting Earth again thousands of years later.

In those future set "Knightmare" sequences from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the Anti-Life Equation has decimated Earth and seen the Man of Steel fall under Darkseid's control. Now, the hope is that this movie will explain what leads to the villain's victory in that desolate future.
