Zack Snyder's Justice League

Continuity mistake: The Queen and Euboea are knocked off the horse by Steppenwolf. The Queen is face down, with the scabbard of her sword pointing up and aside of the mantle; next shot and the scabbard is not visible, just the mantle. (00:34:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Bruce pulls out of his jacket a wad of bills that stands straight upright, is significantly curled down in the next shot, and is more straight again in the following and when held horizontally as the kid nabs it. (00:11:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The village chief holds the calling card of "Bruus Vein" in a different way in each shot (lower corner, side, lower corner, upper corner). (00:09:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the gravedigging scene, Aquaman offers Diana a swig from his flag, who turns it down. Momoa lowers his arm in one shot, and Gadot turns towards the others. In the background in the next shot, Momoa is lowering again his arm, and she is looking ahead. (02:22:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Alfred notices in his drink the disturbance caused by Superman's approach and pauses his work to stare at it, but in the next shot when Supes lands he is still working on the engine. (03:17:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Queen Hippolyta turns around and rushes to the rescue of an amazon that was running behind her escaping the Cage; notice how in the wide shot the girl turns from the prone position bringing the sword towards the parademon, but in the close-up the sword is facing the side. (00:29:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The Amazons are dogpiling Steppenwolf as he tries to reach for the box. One of them in the quasi-POV shot has a big quiver, but when she is sprinting to piggyback him the quiver isn't there. (00:29:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Clark is thanking Bruce for the house. They both look in the distance at Lois and Martha; there are a couple guys fetching boxes near the carpenter, on both sides of the workbench, but they are nowhere to be seen in the new closer angle. (03:38:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Aquaman like a true hero impales the bad guy from behind, Superman in the background is assuming the stance raising his fist. In close-up his arms are both lowered. (03:30:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Superman is pummelling Steppenwolf, and Darkseid's portal starts appearing. Wonder Woman turns around to face it in two shots; Aquaman in the first shot has the trident standing vertical, it's more slanted forward in the next. (03:24:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After the underground battle with Steppenwolf when they are finally joined by Aquaman, Wonder Woman sums up the situation with "All he needs now is the Lost Box of Men." Batman replies "If he doesn't already have it" in another shot, where Diana's hair is missing in front of her shoulder. (02:08:25)

Sammo

Other mistake: Barry comes back to his home, replaces the fuse in the fuse box, flips the handle (begs the question of why remove the fuse AND turn off the switch, but whatever), and within 2 seconds every screen in the place is lit up. Sure, a TV might come on that fast, but plenty of those screens are showing data, analysis, etc, running off computers, which would take longer than that to boot up and get everything running.

Trivia: Despite his directorial credits, Zack Snyder never actually watched Justice League (2017). Christopher Nolan and Snyder's wife, producer Deborah Snyder, told him not to go and see Joss Whedon's finished production of the movie, because, according to a new report in Vanity Fair, the pair told him that the final result would "break his heart."

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.
