Zack Snyder's Justice League

Continuity mistake: Alfred is freaking out about Diana's sub-par tea brewing skills. He tells her that there's enough tea; Gal Gadot's fingers are in a different position on the container between shots. (01:34:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Aquaman dumps the sailor on the table, the patrons pull back their drinks at different times between shots (funnily enough, the continuity of this part is perfect in Whedon's version, who still picked a take originally filmed by Snyder). (00:51:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Wonder Woman says "He's back" looking at the freshly resurrected shirtless Superman, the policeman by the patrol car is leaning against it differently compared to the previous line-up shot; he was lowering the hand with the radio, then talking on it. (02:40:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Steppenwolf sends away the parademons saying "This one will be mine" to confront Wonder Woman one-on-one. She says in close-up "I belong to no-one!" and her right shoulder is clear of hair, but in the previous shot she had hair right in front of that shoulder. (01:57:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Flash calls himself "a snackhole", he holds the pizza carton with the hand at its corner, then more towards the middle. (01:33:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Hippolyta is running away from the chamber of the Box and screams to ready the hammers. Notice how she is running in the middle of the corridor and if anything her steps bring her closer and closer to the line between the stones running exactly in the middle. A parademon bludgeons the other amazon that is following Hippolyta, and you could see him in the background earlier too preparing to do so, but now the queen is running towards the right side of the entrance, leaving room for the camera. (00:29:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Wonder Woman breaks through the door, the left side flies off sliding on the floor almost all the way to the couch in the reverse shot, but is closer to WW in the next. (00:21:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Flash talks to his dad at the end of the movie, he puts a paper against the security glass. The paper is tilted towards his right a bit, but in the reverse shot it's tilted more heavily and in the opposite direction, and so it stays for the rest of the scene. (03:37:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Wonder Woman readies her sword (which makes also a sound) in front of the portal to Apokolips, wind blows her hair behind her back in the frontal view. Cut to the view from the back, and the hair is in front of the shoulders. (03:24:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Lois randomly appears on the battlefield, she drops the handbag while one of the policemen tries to restrain her. The bag is behind the original position when the shot changes. (02:46:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Wonder Woman goes to the kettle, Alfred is fixing circuitry in the background. He raises the tool in his right hand all the way to his nose almost, but in close-up he is still using the tool on the glove. (01:34:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Bruce Wayne hands Barry Allen a print of the security camera's incriminating frames. He holds the paper by the side in the first shot, but from the top in the reverse angle. (01:31:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During Victor's flashback, he scores a diving touchdown cushioning the fall with the right hand that is instead raised close to his body under the other angle. (01:19:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Steppenwolf begins to synchronize the Mother Boxes, and the event is perceived in Themyscira as well. The amazon that spots it has her left arm straight then bent in the reverse shot. (03:04:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After the gravedigging scene, a man in an orange coat tells Dr. Stone that the contamination tests came out negative. He is holding the clipboard by his side, in front of him, by his side again. (02:25:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Hippolyta shoots an arrow at Steppenwolf. She then reaches for another one on the ground and you can see her in the background ready the next one, but at the cut she has yet to be ready. (00:35:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The Queen passes the box to the Amazon on horseback holding it with the left hand on its top face in one shot, the side in the next. (00:31:30)

Sammo

Factual error: Martha Kent drives away from the foreclosed property. The realtor address is "Comanche, KS 66531", but that's the zip code of Riley, in Riley County. (00:14:45)

Question: I'm not a huge fan of DC, so I don't know much about any characters outside of Batman and his rogue's gallery. All the pictures I've seen of Steppenwolf from the comics show him to have a human appearance, with a goatee. Was his monstrous appearance in this film, and to a lesser extent the theatrical version, taken from the comics at all? If not, why drastically change the way the character looks?

Phaneron

Chosen answer: In the comics Steppenwolf traditionally has a very human appearance. He is tall and muscular with tan skin, black hair, and a moustache and goatee. Some of Steppenwolf's animated appearances show him essentially the same but with grayish/green skin, giving him an appearance somewhat similar to the 2017 Justice League version. According to Zack Snyder, the version of Steppenwolf in the 2021 version of Justice League was purposefully designed way back during the filming of Batman vs. Superman as not just a threat to the Justice League, but to the entire planet, hence the monstrous appearance. Warner Brothers made Snyder tone down the design because, according to him, they felt it was too frightening and intense for a PG-13 film. The version of Steppenwolf in Snyder's film has a very alien appearance, with the character's signature horns being part of his physiology rather than a part of his battle helmet, an immensely muscled physique, and covered in spiked armor.
