Zack Snyder explained the scene in his Justice League cut that has Jared Leto’s Joker. Spoiler Warning! The character appears on a ruined Earth after the alien tyrant Darkseid invades and decimates the planet. It is a dream sequence, a psychic vision, experienced by Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne. It reveals what will happen if the group of superheroes fails to stop the attack. Joker is described as sort of the “Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come,” supplying motivation through terror.

Talking about the scene, Zack Snyder said that the “cool thing” about it is that Joker is talking directly to Batman about Batman. He mentioned that it is Joker analyzing Batman about who he is and what he is. That is the thing he also felt like fans deserved from the DC Universe. The filmmaker noted that the Jared Leto Joker, and the Ben Affleck Batman never really got together onscreen. Snyder asserted that it seemed “uncool” to him that they would make it all the way through this incarnation of Batman and Joker without seeing them come together.
