Zack Snyder’s Justice League: 27 WTF Moments

10. Superman's Alternate Resurrection

Superman's (Henry Cavill) resurrection also gets a much-needed overhaul, for while the basic beats are the same - the heroes have to perform a magic feat with the Mother Boxes to bring him back - it all feels bigger and more impactful.

For starters, the whole sequence is extended, now involving the League sneaking Superman's corpse into S.T.A.R. Labs - involving Barry disguising himself as a soldier - after which they have to make their way through the lab to Superman's ship.

More than that, though, it's dealt with far more solemnly: the "Pet Sematary" gags from the Whedon Cut may have been perversely amusing, but they also undermined the import of bringing the Man of Steel back. Here it truly feels like an epic mission, and all for the better.
