On the eve of its theatrical release, the general consensus for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice paints Zack Snyder’s titanic showdown as a bloated and convoluted mess, shackled with a tone that is unflinchingly dark.
And though Dawn of Justice does in many ways lay the groundwork for Warner’s DC Extended Universe, producer Deborah Snyder has hinted that the two-part Justice League event film will be much lighter in tone.
Word comes by way of IGN, who spoke to both Deborah and Zack Snyder ahead of Dawn of Justice‘s arrival. There, the creative pair shed new light on the Justice League, hinting that the likes of The Flash (Ezra Miller) will bring a lighter tone to the ensemble.
“Justice League is a little bit lighter because some of these characters, you have Flash, tend to be a little more comedic I’d say,” producer Deborah Snyder confirms in the video above before director Zack Snyder adds: “One of the things that lightens it is having The Flash or having characters that are more optimistic. This movie is in particular is two characters who are in a crisis of conscience which sort of draws them together.”
Also starring Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher), production on the Justice League is due to commence at some stage next month.
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice lands in theaters tomorrow, March 25, and you can prep for the film’s long-awaited arrival by checking out our review. As for Justice League, Zack Snyder’s ensemble piece will arrive in two parts across November 17, 2017 and June 14, 2019.
