ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: This version ofJustice Leaguehas a three-part conclusion.
The post-apocalypse scene was the major new sequence that you shot.
What was that like?
Instead, everyone knew exactly what to do, everyone was very comfortable in this world.
It was just like stepping back into a thing that everyone kind of knew how to do.
So, the process was really quite seamless and fun.
That’s kind of the pieces that were in play in there.
The five-movie arc would end with the big battle for earth.
I thought that was just a thing that shouldn’t be allowed to happen.
So, it was cool.
I believe this is the first superhero movie to feature mention of “reacharounds.
“It may be!
Jared kind of threw that out and I said, “It seems in character.”
Jared was like, “That’s never going to be in the movie.”
I was like, “Oh, really.”
So, any chance to have Joe around.
Joe’s actually the star of my animatedArmy of the Deadprequel.
Something’s happened and Batman and Deathstroke are buddies now!”
[Laughs] He was like, “That’s awesome!”
So, yeah, that was cool.
It was just a bunch of dorks, really.
And did you have plans for Zheng Kai’s Ryan Choi?Yeah.
That was my goal.
