JUSTICE LEAGUE's Second Deleted Superman Scene Has Leaked Online - "I'm Assuming You're Alfred?"

@BabyBaboons - so yea I can blame Whedon for being a marionette instead of saying; go eff yourself Warner for using my name.

@MalseMarcel - It has to

@Doomsday8888 - It’s pretty much what @OmegaRugel said... the studio insisted that the final film be under 2 hours.

Anything not part of a vital story point was potentially on the chopping block, and then it was probably just a matter of what worked best for the flow of the larger film and the scenes around it. Snyder likes to shoot these kinds of scenes, but even if Whedon really liked them as well the studio mandate for the final cut doesn’t really favor the pace of these kinds of moments.

@Chewtoy - That was the same problem with their treatment of Batman v Superman. They DO NOT KNOW what is important to the film and what's not. There are scenes in the Ultimate Edition of Batman v Superman, where Clark Kent is visiting the house of the woman who blamed him for the situation in Africa. He finds her gone, but then he learns of Batman and starts investigating him. The Theatrical Edition cut all that out and focused on Clark wanting to do a story about Batman. That's fine, but there is no context for why he is investigating Batman or what it has to do with him. He comes off as a hypocrite, but with those scenes added in, as well as the scene where the woman is talking about how she wants to ask Superman how he decides which lives count, and which ones do not, we learn that he does care about what happened. He does care what people are saying about what happened and he wants to make amends for it by preventing Batman from doing the same thing.

With these deleted scenes, and so many more, cut from Justice League, the film is incomplete. It's a disjointed mess of scenes glued together to be ready in time for theatrical release. These scenes may seem random or irrelevant, but if you combine them with other missing scenes, or if you reference them with previous films, there is a strong possibility that they are vital to the story being told. I imagine there is so much more, that wasn't released on the Blu Ray, that the studio thought was irrelevant, but served a much bigger purpose.

@Primordiac - I know right?! Most ridiculous subplot. After saving spacehorses while finding superhacker in that other flick 😶🤭🤯🙄
