The long-awaited premiere of Zack Synder’s Justice League on HBO Max is just two weeks away and the director revealed the titles for each of the six chapters of the DC superhero film. This version will significantly be different from the original theatrical release that was completed by Joss Whedon. Snyder was given the resources to finally bring his version of the Justice League. The Snyder Cut will be divided into parts with a reported 10-minute intermission to break up the 4-hour film.
Director Zack Snyder posted all six chapter titles for Justice League. See them below:

All this is three years in the making, which started with fans campaigning to release the Snyder Cut. With production and reshoots last year, all of it will culminate in the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League on HBO Max two weeks from now.
Warner Bros. gave Snyder the resources and free rein to finally give fans his original vision for the film, which includes adding Jared Leto’s Joker from Suicide Squad. During the IGN Fan Fest 2021, the director said he’s always wanted Leto’s joker to be in Justice League.
Snyder said he “always wanted Joker to be in the Knightmare reality and so it was a great opportunity. When I talked to Jared and he was interested in doing it, I just felt like, okay, this feels like a thing I can’t pass up.”
“It really defines, in my mind, the mythological heart of the conflict that both of them share in their relationship,” said Snyder. “I think without a scene where they get to air their dirty laundry about each other, I felt like we were getting shortchanged as fans of the DC Universe. That was the hope, that we would get to see them come together but also, in particular, reflecting on each other and their struggle with each other and the why a little bit, so that was really fun for me.”
Zack Snyder’s Justice League will premiere Thursday, March 18th on HBO Max.
