20 Most WTF Moments In The DCEU (So Far)

3. The Knightmare Epilogue - Zack Snyder's Justice League

Zack Snyder ended up shooting a single new sequence for the Snyder Cut, and it also happens to be the most divisive and bizarre of the entire four-hour movie.

The scene in question is the frankly ridiculous "Knightmare" epilogue, an apocalyptic vision witnessed by Bruce Wayne in which Darkseid has invaded Earth and Batman, Cyborg (Ray Fisher), The Flash, Mera, Deathstroke (Joe Manganiello), and The Joker are reluctantly teaming up to try and stop him.

It's hilariously clear from how the scene is shot that numerous cast members weren't actually present together when it was filmed, and due to the Snyder Cut's hurried production schedule, the green screen compositing is a little rough looking, to be kind.

Though it's definitely neat to see Affleck's Batman and Leto's Joker united for a single scene, did anyone really need to hear the Clown Prince of Crime make a reacharound joke to Batman? Ooft.
