— OOC PLOTTING POST —

hullo fam! kazie here. i'm going to... try to organize things somewhat, at least in how i present the information. (the operative word is try, lmao!)


BATFAM CANON SO FAR
➝ this really started from BatDad Batfleck Adopting Everyone™️
➝ the overarching plot is based on DCEU. specifically Snydercut DCEU now that we know we're getting it!
➝ BatDad and WonderMom ♥♥♥♥
➝ the BatKids in order of adoption are Dick, Wanda, Jon and Kara.
➝ there are two timelines, the present and the future, because there's some time travel involved to save the world from the Darkseid bad end.
➝ Dick likes redheads!


NOTES FROM LAST YEAR
➝ the very rough, definitely not complete and will still totally change timeline is here, mostly put together for Kazie's sanity lmao
➝ as originally the only Game of Thrones person Kazie just went ahead and made up a GoT backstory while AU'ing Jon in (hush let me refer to myself in third person)
➝ Rie later brought in K and the Blade Runner canon, but BR was basically fasttracked since we're not getting all the way to 2049 lmaoooo
➝ BR and GoT got linked because BR has a Tyrell Corporation and GoT has a House Tyrell
➝ given that DCEU has Darkseid and BR is ripe with apocalyptic feels and GoT has so many dead people... somewhere along the way it was decided that Darkseid will be the Big Bad.
➝ future timeline rundown: Lois dies, Supes blames Batman and turns on humanity and joins Darkseid. Supes later kills Dick, and Bruce, and... everyone else. Barry, Wanda and Jon (who's taken over the Titans after Dick) band together with others and form the Resistance. (THIS MIGHT BE INACCURATE but both my notes say all this so, oops.)
➝ we talked about Barry and his time traveling, but it ended up being Wanda. part of it came with losing everyone since Jon also dies during an attack on the Resistance base. (i forgot the rest, help Ash?)
➝ there are no other MCUs other than Wanda and her backstory is AU'd but still along the similar veins. (but no ties to Stark Industries. we decided to forego pursuing that possible connection to GoT lmao)
➝ K came in the future timeline because it's the natural fit for BR. we also said that his being a replicant would allow him to travel back in time with the least repercussions, especially in terms of altering anything since he's not related to anyone. but a timeline reset mission is too risky for just one person, so the Resistance decided to steal a replicant unit from the Wallace labs and program it into their own (Jane) to accompany K to the past.
➝ in the future timeline Bruce dies in 2020 simply because we said fuck 2020, whoops.
➝ time traveling is not an exact science so instead of arriving in 2019 to stop Supes from going evil, the future people arrived in 2017 instead. JANE FALLS OUT OF THE SKY on Robb's Porsche on the way to crash the Wayne family dinner.
➝ the replicant thing, aside from the Tyrell connection between BR/GoT, was because Kazie wrote in Jon's backstory that supersoldier tech was being developed and the US government wanted some after the Man of Steel fiasco. but you know human rights etc etc so it was all done in secret. Ned Stark, Jon's dad and Bruce's pal, found that out and tried to pass legislation to stop it and shut down the company the government was supposedly in contract with... only for him and his family to get hounded and killed, etc.
➝ because the GoTs don't have a throne to fight over in this AU, they're fighting over the replicant tech basically. lmao
➝ Jason gets Joker'd (my DC knowledge is the bare minimum but i remember this one's important hahaha)
➝ Astrea brought in Laurel and i remember reading a thread about Bruce talking her into helping the Starks with their lawsuit war stuff... i just can't find it anymore eep :/
➝ Liz started to help Kazie plot out more of the GoT stuff especially on the whole prior gen squabbles, starting with Ned's sister Lyanna. (that may have sparked the double Jons because we both play Jons lol)
➝ we were also trying to put Jesse and the FBC in! Jesse sensed the anomalous blip from the time travelers' arrival and went to investigate. Dick asked Jon to investigate JF, Jon said she has no Facebook. Dick/Jesse/Nightwing stuff. something about K and Jane finding Jesse because Jesse's also in the future Resistance, something about electronics not working inside the FBC when they get there... i need to search for this part as i don't have this in my notes, waaaah. but Jesse is in Jon's CR chart! HAHA


( THEN WINTER ARRIVED AND WE COLLECTIVELY HIBERNATED )


WHAT CAME UP IN THE 2021 REVIVAL
➝ Cookie brought Margaery! so we now have an actual Tyrell and we can do more GoT/BR-related things in the sidelines. bottomline for Marg: she loves replicants and ends up siding with evil Supes and Darkseid. because her main goal is an Eden for her "children", and if the only way to make that happen is to destroy mankind + align with Superman regime, then so be it. (sorry Cookie i just copy/pasted that from your write up HAHAHA)
➝ LET'S TALK REPLICANTS IN THE COMMENTS
➝ ALSO ALL THE METAPLOT THINGS
➝ AND EVERYTHING ELSE

GENERAL SNYDERCUT INFO (part 1)

[personal profile] menarebrave 2021-03-12 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, little Batlings. Let BatDad sit you down and explain a story or two about why the DCEU timeline is such a mess. Placed here per request as opposed to on Discord.

The Story of #ReleaseTheSnyderCut becoming Zack Snyder's Justice League
Once upon a time, WarnerBrothers (like everyone else in Hollywood) decided "let's make an interconnected universe like Mahvel and make money! We got Superheroes!" Well, they weren't wrong. The thing they were missing was an architect to bring it all together. They picked Zack Snyder, who as it turns out, decided to build a 5 Part Arc that would more or less serve as the basis for the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).

Reboot of Superman happened: Man of Steel. Fans more or less liked it, critics railed on it as par the course. Thus came the next story, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. While we thought it was due to MoS not doing well, turns out Snyder always intended for Part 2 to have Batman vs Superman and Wonder Woman show up. WB was in knee jerk reaction mode, and thus mandated that Snyder trim down the movie and such. Thus, the theater cut of BvS is horrendous and you should just watch the Ultimate Cut as it fixes all the story problems.

Thus, the reaction to BvS was even worse. WB beat their heads on the wall and mandated Snyder change Justice League, part 3. The thing is? JL was supposed to be 2 parts - that got turned into just Justice League at a 4ish hour run time. WB said "no way bro, make that 2 hours." Snyder was saying how he couldn't, but then personal tragedy struck.

Snyder's adopted daughter took her own life. Both Zack and Deborah (wife who does all his movies with him) decided that focusing their energy on their family was more important than fighting with WB. With principle photograph finished, Snyder stepped away from the project. Enter, the Fuck Up Zone. WB hired Joss Whedon of Avengers fame, right off of leaving after Age of Ultron, to "fix" the movie. He rewrote the movie and used only 10-20% of the original Snyder footage. Reshoots made the movie cost as much of two movies together. It was released, it was horrendous.

Think of it this way. I saw it in theaters so you didn't have to.

After JL's disaster, WB has been trying to soft reboot the whole DCEU. Ben Affleck left due to the horrid bullshit that went on with the solo Batman movie (I can inform on another post), Henry Cavill was left hanging, but Gal Gadot and Jason Mamoa got their spin off movies. Cyborg and Flash were left hanging. It's all a big ol' mess.

The idea of the original Snyder film made the rounds. Fan petitions happened. WB and the media denied it existed. Eventually, fans started pooling together for billboards of #ReleaseTheSnyderCut. They had Comic Con advertisements! Time Square billboards! Celebrity support in the form of, that's right, Aquaman himself! Eventually, Snyder himself came out and said that a cut did exist*. That meant WB couldn't deny it anymore - but they did cause it's an embarrassment.

Thus, since 2017, fans have dreamed of the SnyderCut being real.

In 2020, Snyder held a Watch-A-Long with Henry Cavill for Man of Steel. At the end of the movie, he held a question and answer session. Of course, the question of "Is the SnyderCut ever coming out?" happens. Then, with Cavill's blessing, Snyder revealed Zack Snyder's Justice League:



How did this happen!?

AT&T purchased Warner Brothers for a shit ton of money. This means that AT&T can dictate things for Warner Brothers to do. They wanted to launch HBO Max for the streaming wars to go up against Netflix, Disney+ and the laughable stuff Amazon Prime is doing. They were looking for a flagship product that would bring seats to the HBO Max. Someone SOMEWHERE had the big brain of doing The SnyderCut. They went to Snyder and boom, we now have #ReleaseTheSnyderCut to Zack Snyder's Justice League.

* - please note that Cut in this term does not mean a completed movie. He had principle photography done, some basic effects, no music, and the movie was in black and white.

Some important things to note:
- Zack Snyder DID NOT take a pay check to finish this movie. Instead, he got full creative control. That's right. Not a dime.
- 4 Hours Run Time. Only one scene has been shot new for it, and it will involve the Joker (Jared Leto) and Batman (Bruce Wayne) and take place in the Nightmare Timeline.
- The movie is dedicated to his daughter, Autumn Snyder (rest in peace honey).
- The Flash has now been more or less confirmed to be a sequel to ZSJL. IT has the same Iris West that we will see in the movie, and Ben Affleck will be back!
- Jason Mamoa was caught accidentally saying that scenes in ZSJL set up Aquaman. Which means Aquaman is a sequel as well. Get fucked, Warner Brothers.
- The Movie Is Available World Wide. Ask stars, she'll help you find out where to watch it in your country!

movies included: Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman, Justice League, and Aquaman


NOTES:
- This timeline does not include movies that cannot be tied into Zack Snyder's Justice League. Therefore Birds of Prey, Shazzam!, and questionably WW84. We may decide to axe WW84 as a lot of that movie does not tie up into established timelines by Batman v Superman. This is because these are more or less considered part of the "soft reboot" and are pending inclusion upon the movie release on March 18th 2021.
- This timeline does not include PSL dates. This is simply a slimmed down version from the DCEU timeline so we can reference it and start putting together the pieces.
- Robin's death is included, but not the birthdate, as timelines are fuzzy with this.
