SCREENRANT'S NO JUSTICE RETROSPECTIVE

​

Padraig Cotter of Screen Rant has authored an article on No Justice, HERE. taking a retrospective look at what the edit set out to achieve and to whom it is catered. Cotter calls the cut "leaner and more focused" than the original, with "some smart edits", but undeniably lacks its sense of scope and ambition.

NOD TO NO JUSTICE IN POPULAR BATMAN COMIC?

​

I was pointed yesterday to a CBR.com article written by Jason Cohen, HERE. Scott Snyder's Dark Knights: Metal tie in book, called Batman: Lost, features an elderly Bruce Wayne teaching his granddaughter about Batman's most famous cases. From the article:

 

"Eventually, Bruce’s granddaughter reaches for a book labeled The Case of the Chemical Syndicate, which refers back to Batman’s first appearance in Detective Comics #27. It’s a story that has been updated many times over the years, including in the pages of Batman: Lost. Next to it, we see a book titled No Justice, which doesn’t refer to any known Batman story. While it is the title of a popular fan edit of Batman v Superman, it holds no obvious connection to a past DC Comics story, indicating that it’s most likely the tease Snyder referenced in his tweet. As for what, exactly, it refers to remains unknown, but we’ll likely not have to wait too long to find out."

​

So, the roundabout answer to the headline is probably "nope", but you never know. It's pretty fun, nonetheless. Thanks to CBR.com for the shout-out!

BLACK ZERO: THE AFTERMATH

​

The new prologue for No Justice is an adaptation of the finale to Man of Steel. The Aftermath features a final farewell to Pa Kent and a troublesome e-mail from Lex Luthor to Bruce Wayne. This may at some point expand into a full Man of Steel fan edit, meant to dovetail into No Justice. It would introduce Bruce Wayne to the narrative during the destructive finale, and leave the circumstances of Jonathan's death a mystery.
