10 Worst Sequel Baiting Moments In Recent Movies

Snyder fans hyped Zack's Justice League so much, it seemed inconceivable for the director's cut to live up to expectations.

But for the most part, the second version of Justice League (which is technically the first version) knocked it out of the park. The characterisation of Cyborg and Flash were significantly better, Steppenwolf was reshaped into a compelling villain, and Superman's CGI lip was nowhere to be seen.

So, when one of the closing scenes depicts Supes pulling off his shirt to reveal the "S" symbol on his suit, it felt like the perfect moment to end the movie.

Although that is how Justice League was meant to conclude, there was a change of plan in the eleventh hour. Even though the film that Zack envisioned was done back in 2017, the acclaimed director decided to tack on three scenes at the end, which tease Ben Affleck's Batman film, Darkseid, and Martian Manhunter. But since the Batman film was axed and the other characters appeared earlier, these three scenes added absolutely nothing to the story.

When Zack Snyder's Justice League was released in 2021, Warner Bros. made it crystal clear they had no intention of creating a sequel to this story. Because of this, it felt like these additional scenes were never going to get a pay off, which makes one wonder why Zack included them in the first place.
