A look into the future of Knightmare, seen in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, shows how ruthless and cruel the villain Darkseid is. Stripped of the reshoots of the theatrical version of Justice League, Snyder Cut presents a team of superheroes, as Snyder had planned before the extensive reworking carried out after his departure due to a loss in his family. Snyder Cut also brings the DC titan villain Darkseid (Ray Porter) back into the story after his complete removal from the theatrical version. In addition, Darkseid’s appearance includes visions of his conquest of Earth, which can be seen in Knightmare of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Looking at Nightmer during the resurrection of Superman (Henry Cavill), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) sees the moment when Darkseid puts Superman under his control using the anti-life equation. This happens after Darkseid killed Lois Lane (Amy Adams) in cold blood in the Batcaster. One special touch in this scene adds evil to Darkseid, when the apokolyptic conqueror puts his hand on Superman’s shoulder, as if expressing his condolences.

When Superman mourns the skeleton of Lois Lane, who was also pregnant, the change in the Man of Steel’s expression reveals that this is how Darkseid mentally enslaves him with the anti-life equation. Given that it’s clear from the scene, Darkseid’s hand on Superman’s shoulder takes on a much darker context at this point. Darkseid, so to speak, twists the knife of Superman when he is at the lowest point, with a gesture of feigned sympathy.
How Superman’s Justice League Costume Reveals Darksied’s Sadistic Nature
In this scene, Superman is also shown in his black suit, and Nightmer portrays him in his classic red and blue suit. This adds another layer of sadism to how Darkseid is going to conquer Earth. Far from being content with crowning himself ruler of the Earth, Darkseid adds insults to the wound at every turn, even turning an ordinary act of kindness into a mockery of Superman. With Snyder’s plot plans for two Superman suits, Darkseid putting him in his classic suit embodying hope when he makes him a soldier for Apokolips is another emblem of his sadistic nature.
“Knight” was supposed to play a big role in the unreleased sequels of Snyder’s “Justice League”. With the help of surviving Justice League members and even villains like Detstroke (Joe Manganiello) and the Joker (Jared Leto), Batman (Ben Affleck) had to send Flash (Ezra Miller) back in time on a Cosmic Treadmill to stop Darkseid’s murder. Lois. Superman will then lead the League and the world against the Darkseid invasion, returning to his red and blue suit on his own, completely heroic terms.
With the release of the Snyder Cut, Darkseid’s cinematic debut was one of many elements that fans around the world were finally excited about. With the Cyborg’s view of Nightmer in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, it’s safe to say that Porter’s Darkseid in pursuit of the anti-life equation was nothing more than a punishing sinister villain. Not only does Darkseid want to crush his enemies, he also never misses an opportunity to kick them when they are defeated.
