Zack Snyder’s Justice League: A Triumph for the Snyderverse Fandom
The recent release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League has solidified the Snyderverse fandom as a force to be reckoned with in the pop culture realm. This has reportedly caused quite a stir among critics and Warner Bros. executives. However, it seems that the upcoming Barbie movie couldn’t care less about the drama surrounding the Snyderverse.
In fact, this won’t be the first time that the Snyderverse and the Snyder Cut of Justice League have been acknowledged or referenced. From Zack Snyder himself making an appearance in Teen Titans Go, to The Harley Quinn Show poking fun at the fandom (with series producer Justin Halpern praising their good sportsmanship), and even The Boys getting in on the action, it’s clear that the Snyderverse has left its mark.
The battle for the release of the superior cut of Justice League was no easy feat, but with unwavering support from Zack Snyder and the relentless determination of the fans, Warner Bros. eventually caved, especially during the height of the pandemic. Talk about a victory for the underdogs!
But what about this mysterious joke that Barbie director Greta Gerwig was asked about in an interview with Nerdist? When questioned if she’s scared of how it might impact “a particular fandom online,” Gerwig hesitates for a moment. Then, the interviewer drops the bombshell: “Do you get a free pass because Margot is in the DCEU?”
Sources on social media claim that this joke references the Snyder Cut and the fandom, ultimately pointing the finger at Warner Bros. rather than Gerwig herself. Talk about turning the tables! It’s no wonder she was taken aback during the interview. But fear not, loyal Snyderverse fans, this joke seems to be on your side.

Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. With Barbie being a Warner Bros. production, this joke could potentially create an awkward situation for the company. However, it’s also worth noting that Barbie’s meta themes are said to be inspired by films like The Truman Show. So, perhaps this unexpected twist of events is actually a perfect fit for Barbie.
What makes things even more intriguing is the marketing strategy for Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Both films are set to be released on the same day, which is sure to bring even more attention to both projects. It’s no secret that Nolan played a significant role in the Snyderverse aspects of the DCEU, so for Barbie to make a joke at Warner Bros.’ expense while seemingly aligning with Universal’s Oppenheimer, it gives off an anti-establishment vibe. Fans who value artistic integrity and stand against studio meddling are sure to appreciate this bold move.
The joke may be lost on some, but for those in the know, it’s sure to hit the mark. All we can do is eagerly await the release of Barbie on July 21, 2023, and see just how this wacky, artistic adventure unfolds. Stay tuned for an unexpected, and possibly hilarious, ride!
