Zack Snyder's Justice League is chock full of WTF moments - the Flash (Ezra Miller) playing with hot dogs and the whole Martian Manhunter debacle, for instance - but nothing quite tops the glue-sniffing insanity of that chaotic, messy "Knightmare" epilogue.

The only major piece of new material shot for the "Snyder Cut," the concluding scene takes place in a potential post-apocalyptic future brought about by Darkseid's arrival on Earth.

In the scene, Batman (Ben Affleck), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), The Flash, Mera (Amber Heard), Deathstroke (Joe Manganiello), and The Joker (Jared Leto) are part of a team attempting to stop Darkseid.

From the absurdly rough green screen effects, it's obvious the scene was cobbled together in a rush, often without actors even sharing the same stretch of screen, suggesting it was also edited together from separate shooting sessions.

It's cool to see Affleck's Batman and Leto's Joker together for once, but did it really need to end with The Joker talking about giving Batman a reacharound?
