After revealing the release date for his Justice League miniseries on HBO Max, Zack Snyder has shared some information about the Joker’s backstory in relation to the film.

Speaking to TheFilmJunkee, the director divulged more about the Knightmare timeline, a worst-case scenario future in which Superman is corrupted by Darkseid. The timeline was included in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, in a scene which saw Batman going up against Superman’s regime.

Jared Leto JokerThe Dark Knight was warned about the future by a time-travelling Flash. But the Scarlet Speedster arrived too early for his message to make any sense.

In the backstory of Zack Snyder’s Justice League narrative, the Joker stole a Mother Box to create the cosmic treadmill The Flash used to travel back in time. Now, to prevent the Knightmare future from happening, the superhero team must figure out the exact moment in time The Flash needs to visit for his message to make sense.

In the interview, Snyder mentioned the possibility of a comic book with artist Jim Lee to continue the storyline.



“The Joker is somehow involved in stealing the Mother Box and using it to create the treadmill. Because, in my mind, Cyborg was always going to do the math and figure out, ‘This is what we gotta do to go back in time to warn Bruce correctly.’”

Jared Leto Joker RecastThe director also said the comic book would potentially feature Robin’s death at the hands of the Joker.

“I always thought that the conflict that was happening there was Bruce reliving the events – the death of Robin and what went into that. I was like, ‘That’d be a fun comic book, even just the death of Robin.’ In that world. Just a nice little one-off.”



Although it doesn’t seem like we’ll be seeing the Joker steal a mother box in the Snyder Cut, it’s still an interesting bit of info to have prior to the movie-like series.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League (which will feature Jared Leto’s Joker) is arriving in March 2021, in four one-hour instalments on HBO Max. The studio is also working on a distribution plan for countries where HBO Max isn’t available.

    I hope everyone loves this 4-hour redo of a movie, i really do. But i can’t believe it ballooned to 4 hours and they can’t figure out how to give enough screentime to explain that.
    As a person not at all likely to buy a comic extension for movie plot, i’ll just have to assume the Joker was heavily into exercise and felt alien tech was the only way to build an intense enough treadmill for his training.
    And The Flash needed to borrow this alien tech treadmill to travel through time, even though, i thought, he was capable of doing so using the speedforce.
    What a hot mess. Hopefullythe movie’s mindblowingly good.

    If they can’t explain why The Joker needs alien tech to build, of all things, a treadmill, and how the Flash borrows it, in a ballooned 4 hour movie, maybe they should really think about the hot mess they’re just piling on before they reboot it all with the Flash’s movie.

    Hopefully Snyder’s redo is worth every bit of the hype. Really hope so.
