10 DCEU Concept Designs Better Than What We Got
6. Scarier Parademon - Justice League
Like Steppenwolf himself, his Parademons had a serious image problem in Justice League. While most of that was down to bad CGI, sticking more closely to this early design would only have helped matters.
One of Jerad S.Marantz's tentative takes on the flying footsoldiers depicted them in a much scarier way, with more powerful bodies, extra limbs and a heavier emphasis on the horror elements.
Similar to the Doomsday case, groundbreaking practical effects would have been a better way to bring these creatures to life, similar to the way the Lord of the Rings movies used makeup and props to create their Orcs.
Some elements of this design concept made it into Justice League, like the glowing red eyes, but it's a shame Zack Synder didn't stick more closely to it.
