Despite the four-hour runtime, filmmaker Zack Snyder’s recut of “Justice League” still had some deleted scenes. Today, he’s shared one.
Snyder took to social media to share a different take on the film’s big Knightmare epilogue involving Jared Leto’s Joker. The infamous “we live in a society” dialogue line from the trailer, which was cut out of the film itself, appears here.
The scene has been released in an effort to promote a new t-shirt featuring the quote for which half of all proceeds will benefit the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention.
The clip comes as third-party data aggregator, Samba TV, revealed (via Twitter that according to their statistics only 36% of US households watched the entire film during the first week of release. They also add that U.S. households watched an average of 171 minutes of the 242-minute film.
“Zack Snyder’s Justice League” has received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, though this scene – the one that was shot much more recently than the rest – has drawn a far more divided opinion.
