I was afraid that if this was the last Justice League with Ben [Affleck&#8217;s Batman] and Jared, it would be remiss if I couldn&#8217;t figure out a way for them to come into conflict.&#8221;<br><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br> Snyder also gave more context about including the Joker in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><br> &#8220;Also, it was a wish of mine to bring Joker into the continuing storyline. I hinted at it in Batman v Superman \u2013 when you see Batman&#8217;s gun in the post-apocalyptic world, it has a Joker playing card taped to it. This has a little bit to do with that concept,&#8221;<br> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br> Zack also discussed what he wanted that encounter to be like.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><br>  \u201cThe cool thing about the scene is that it&#8217;s Joker talking directly to Batman about Batman, It&#8217;s Joker analyzing Batman about who he is and what he is. That\u2019s the thing I also felt like fans deserved from the DC Universe. That is to say, the Jared Leto Joker and the Ben Affleck Batman, they never really got together. It seemed uncool to me that we would make it all the way through this incarnation of Batman and Joker without seeing them come together.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><br> It seems Snyder was keen on bringing Batman and Joker together in the DCEU, hopefully not for the last time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1008\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Jared-Leto-Joker-crown-of-thorns.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Jared-Leto-Joker-crown-of-thorns.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Jared-Leto-Joker-crown-of-thorns-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Jared-Leto-Joker-crown-of-thorns-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><br> Zack Snyder\u2019s Justice League will premiere on <strong>HBO Max<\/strong> on the 18th of this month.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nVery soon, countless fans will be treated to the release of Zack Snyder\u2019s Justice League.
