Captain Cold as your first film's villain is definitely a choice

Interesting way to include Jay. But otherwise I find this uninteresting, and I usually adore anything Morrison does. Maybe it's because I just don't find Captain Cold to be interesting.

>>149443017
I think it's likely Morrison was given characters to write a story around and didn't get a say on who they wanted as main villain

So when did they write this script? After the Snyder cut released?

It wouldn’t make sense to base the plot off of something that didn’t even happen in the Whedon release

>>149439956 (OP)
I like it

>So when did they write this script?
In 2019, after Miller clashed with original directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein over their script.

>It wouldn’t make sense to base the plot off of something that didn’t even happen in the Whedon release
The final movie did the same thing.
