Zack Snyder went over WB’s head to add Martian Manhunter to the Snyder Cut

Zack Snyder’s Justice League gets its long-awaited digital release today, and someone high up at Warner Bros. clearly isn’t happy that it continues to be a hit. A “confidential report” was leaked from the studio and summarized in an article in Rolling Stone, which dubs Snyder as “Lex Luthor” and alleges that the massive online campaign to get the movie released was driven by bots rather than humans.

One eyebrow-raising allegation concerns the inclusion of classic DC hero Martian Manhunter. Snyder had always intended Harry Lennix’s Lieutenant Calvin Swanwick to have been Martian Manhunter in disguise, adding in Easter Eggs hinting at his alien origins as far back as Man of Steel. In the Snyder Cut, he finally got to pay that off in a late scene showing J’onn J’onzz revealing himself to Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne.
