Zack Snyder's Justice League was originally supposed to have a romance plotline involving Batman and Lois

yeah. Also, the article is beautiful and really paints a picture of what kind of man Snyder is. That last paragraph killed me
I was hoping this was taken out of context or something, but no, no, it's quoted right from the Vanity Fair article (it's a good article, btw, and I think it's wonderful how Zack is honoring his daughter with his work).
I just don't see how this would have worked. I don't see it. It's the oddest possible angle to take with Batman in that movie, it's just so weird.
Even if going with the "romantic interest humanizes character and gives him perspective" trope, Batman could date Wonder Woman and come to the same conclusion, and it would actually make sense considering how they seemed a little flirty with each other in Batman vs Superman. It's still bad, but at least it wouldn't come with the host of complications that "dating a woman makes you want to resurrect her ex" would bring.

It seems like it was cut well before the script was finalized, so it wouldn't work in either version of the film that will exist.
The comic is great, you should see superman's Lois room. Filled to the brim with statues, paintings, and gifts. All for Lois, and all really creepy.
Sure, but one of Snyder's quotes provides the context for what he wanted to accomplish with the idea:
"The intention was that Bruce fell in love with Lois and then realized that the only way to save the world was to bring Superman back to life."
So it essentially would have followed the same general plot as the Justice League we received, and I still find it very odd.

Probably a good thing that they scrapped it. Would have been gross for Bruce to date Lois after trying to kill her boyfriend (Fiance? I can't remember.)
Oh forgot to mention batman also has a Lois room that is also filled with statues, pictures, and gifts. Because when you love someone in a comic, you become a stalker I guess.
I was not expecting Batm-, you know what it makes sense, he's already a criminal!
wait why do they both have a lois room lol
They're both giving me very "Jimmy Stewart in Vertigo" vibes.
I can see Superman bringing Lana Lang over and making her dress in Lois' clothes.
Turns out the reason Lois is single is that every man she meets has a terrifying shrine unto her.wait why do they both have a lois room lol
Was that before or after talking about Batman getting raped in prison
Superman is a creepy little angry guy.wait why do they both have a lois room lol
Brb going to make a Lois Shrine now!wait why do they both have a lois room lol
Wow superman is really a great friend
I love the pouty lip Supes has in that pic.
Dude killed Jimmy for shits and giggles, wanted to kill Dick Grayson, and wanted this too? Hack Snyder indeed🤮
Imagine reading that very touching, heartbreaking and extensive article and the only thread worthy take aways are:
"BatmanLane lolz no luv for the supes "
"Jesus Joker LMAO Snyder fucking suks HUR DUR!! "
"BatmanLane lolz no luv for the supes "
"Jesus Joker LMAO Snyder fucking suks HUR DUR!! "
Ah, so it wouldn't be an actual romance between them, but a one-sided love on Bruce's part that leads to him reviving Superman to make her happy? Still glad the idea got nixed.
Lois: "Tell me how he died"
Bruce: " I'm going to tell you how he lived" ^_~
Batman and Superman, the original "nice guys"
Should have done this in Superman vs. Batman. Then during the climactic battle and after Lois saves herself from drowning, she could interrupt Batman killing Superman by exclaiming that they need to rescue Martha -- and both Superman and Batman would respond to her. Leading them to realize their mom's have the same name lol. Besties for life with a side glance of jealousy as they both realize the other knows Lois well...
As long as it was one sided on Bruce's part I'd be fine with this. An actual romance and I denounce Synder to the deepest pit of Apokolips. Stop doing Superman wrong
