Zack Snyder Drops A New Joker Photo Tease and The Films Rating is Released

Earlier today, Zack Snyder posted a tease of Jared Leto's Joker appearance in the upcoming Zack Snyder's Justice League due to be released on March 18th, 2021 on HBOMax. The speculation is that this version of Joker appears in the infamous Knightmare alternate timeline that we first glimpsed in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Batman’s Dark Knightmare

A lot of the marketing photos have been geared toward the Knightmare timeline so far, so it appears that we will finally get more story and background of this curious scene we saw in BvS.

What do you think of this tease of Joker? I, for one, like it and think it's the right amount of tease. We get a glimpse to whet our appetite, but not the full reveal. I'm excited for Joker's appearance in this film and hopefully it leads to more of Jared Leto's Joker appearing in more films.

In addition to this Knightmare Joker, a photo of Deathstroke from this Knightmare timeline has also been released a few weeks ago. Combining these new additions to what we got from BvS makes for an intriguing lineup!

UPDATE:

Later in the day (02/02/21), the film’s MPAA rating was released. According to FilmRatings.com, Zack Snyder’s Justice League will be rated R for violence and some language. Snyder has teased that Batman will drop the F bomb and that Steppenwolf will deliver some grisly deaths as he sets out to conquer Earth.

The New Mutants - Initial Thoughts

The Credible Nerds watched The New Mutants last night. After two years of delays, the film finally premiered in theaters!

This movie is definitely an X-Men movie and makes occasional references to the main storyline, however it is not the typical X-Men movie. But keep your eyes and ears open for those references! There are 6 main characters (that we haven’t seen on screen before) that you follow throughout the story and the story mostly takes place in one location.

The New Mutants is a character based story and unlike the other films, there is no world ending event, an alien invasion, or millions of people aren’t at risk of being killed. Instead it’s a more intimate story about relationships, making new friends, and coming to terms with new mutant powers.

One thing about this film that stands out from the others, is that it is creepy scary! A lot of jump scares (that aren’t cheesy or forced) and some ‘WTF is happening!’ moments that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat. This brought a whole new element to the X-Men movies that I hope gets revisited at some point down the road.

The New Breakfast Club Mutants

Marc and I thought that it was refreshing to have this new take with a superhero movie, and we recommend seeing it in theaters, if you are willing and able to go see it in theaters.

The Credible Nerds will be recording a podcast episode to fully review the film and give our thoughts on The New Mutants, so look for that to be released in the next couple of weeks.
