'Justice League': 10 Major Trailer Scenes That Are Not in the Movie
Like most blockbuster movies these days, Justice League left quite a lot of material on the [...]
Batman on Horseback
This scene from the first teaser trailer showed Bruce Wayne on horseback headed to the seaside town that Aquaman protects. No horse was featured in the final film.
prevnextThe Aquaman
This shot of Jason Mamoa's Aquaman was one of the first reasons fans started to really embrace Snyder's vision of the character. And yet, this badass image was left out of the final film for some strange reason.
prevnextCyborg Backstory
This scene in the first teasers showed the backstory of Victor Stone / Cyborg, including an additional shot of Victor on the football field. None of that made it into the theatrical cut.
prevnextFlash Breaks Out
Early trailers teased Barry Allen / Flash's powers with a moment of the young hero breaking through a window at super speed, while in civilian clothes and in the company of Iris West.
prevnextUseful Realness
This exchange from the first Justice League teaser actually showcased the humor Snyder had injected into the film, as shown in several moments of the Gotham Harbor battle sequence (see also: Batman's "My turn," line). Obviously, those moments didn't make it through the rewrite proccess.
prevnextCyborg v Tank
Cyborg got a major heroic moment in early trailers when he saves a cop form a flaming tank that's been hurled through the air. He followed that heroic save up with a quippy one-liner.
prevnextCyborg Takes Flight
One of the coolest Cyborg moments in early trailers was Cyborg taking flight while manifesting a Deadshot-style face mask for airial protection. The shot above was followed up by a gorgeous shot of Cyborg hovering above the clouds in front of the moon.
prevnextHappily Married Man
This scene started off the second Justice League trailer, with Lois and Clark finally reunited in the corn fields of the Kent farm in Smallville. Clark tells Lois "I'll take that as a yes," referring to his engagement ring on her finger. The scene was later altered to something more comedic than sentimental.
prevnextYes We Shall
This trailer-ending team shot of Wonder Woman landing in front of Cyborg and Aquaman uttering the line "Shall we?" in a general's tone is nowhere to be seen in the final film.
prevnextThe Final Fight
Take your pick on this one, as there were nearly half a dozen shots of the final battle set piece in early Justice League trailers, which were vastly altered for the theatrical version. There's Aquaman spearing Parademons; Wonder Woman clearing the way for the Bat mobile; an explosion of blue in the small Russian town, etc. Clearly, the blue-lit version of the final battle was Snyder's vision; the 'red sky' version in the theatrical cut was done later in reshoots.
prevnextMystery Savior
The big debate after the Justice League Comic Con trailer was who Alfred was talking to in the trailer's final moments - a mystery savior who was going to help out the League. Everyone assumed it was Superman, back from the dead, but since the theatrical film avoided the scene entirely, we'll never know for sure...

As you can see below, fans are still amassing the amount of footage they were robbed of, in the final Justice League theatrical cut.
