At this point, it’s no secret that
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
will be very different from the disappointing theatrical outing of the film back in 2017. The new cut of
Justice League
has been confirmed to be a four-hour-long affair
, meaning that there will be extended scenes and expanded character moments to propel the narrative even further.
One of the highly-talked-about sequences that will be included in
Snyder’s version is the Knightmare timeline
that was introduced from 2016’s
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
. This post-apocalyptic future is expected to play a pivotal role in the director’s cut, potentially providing clues on how the powerful superhero team lost to
the forces of Apokolips led by Darkseid.

Now, a brand new look at some of the characters that will be included in the sequence has been revealed.

posted several photos of the Knightmare costumes of Mera and Deathstroke that were taken from an
exclusive exhibit
for
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
in Dallas, Texas.
Update:
These photos have been removed from Twitter. Descriptions of the pictures can be read below:

Joe Manganiello’s Deathstroke was seen sitting inside an unknown base while sporting the character’s familiar mohawk. Alongside the villain, snippets of Ben Affleck’s Batman and Jared Leto’s Joker were also included.
Amber Heard’s Mera was pictured in her Knightmare outfit, holding what appeared to be a gas canister of some sort along with an Atlantean spear.
AN EXPANDED CAST OF DC CHARACTERS IN KNIGHTMARE SEQUENCE
In order to complete and improve the Snyder Cut, the visionary director
assembled several cast members in order to do reshoots
for
Justice League
, and it was later revealed that it was mainly for the Knightmare timeline. This latest reveal provides a sneak peek at how it all went down, and the surprise inclusion of Amber Heard’s Mera and Joe Manganiello’s Deathstroke seemingly hints that this sequence will be consists of an all-star lineup of DC characters.

The costume of Mera stays true to its Atlantean roots, and the inclusion of the blasters that were featured in
Aquaman
is a great bonus. Meanwhile, Deathstroke’s protective suit appears to have been a victim of wear and tear, seemingly hinting that the villain has fought a plethora of parademons along the way.
It remains to be seen how the Knightmare timeline will be re-introduced in
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
, but it’s reasonable to assume that it will be done through the perspective of Bruce Wayne. The brief dream sequence from
Dawn of Justice
didn’t give much context on what’s really happening, but the addition of this timeline to this
Justice League
can finally pave the way for more answers about the doomed future of the heroes.
Interestingly, Snyder
did confirm that the Knightmare timeline would’ve been the premise
of the
Justice League
sequel, and it seems that the sequence from the first film will give fans a taste of what’s to come.

Sadly, a follow-up is not (yet) in the works, but this sequence can still provide clues on how the heroes recover from their loss to Darkseid in that specific future. For now, fans can only take a peek at the Knightmare costumes of these characters before the actual live-action debut in
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
this month.
