Rob Liefeld Becomes the Snyder Cut Movement's Biggest Fan at NYCC
In-story, Brigade #1 includes references to the Zack Snyder cut of Justice League (Bloodwulf is for it), the Sony/Marvel kerfuffle (he’s against it), and the Game of Thrones finale (he wasn’t crazy about the execution). You can check the pages out here, and Liefeld’s latest tweet below.

After Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League Part One and Part Two were announced at the same time, with Snyder supposedly filming them back to back. That did not last long, though. Snyder eventually, famously, either left Justice League or was forced out shortly after the death of his daughter. But even before that, a set visit during production on the film included quotes that indicated that Part Two was not guaranteed to happen, and might not happen with Snyder even if it did. Conventional wisdom says that before he exited the movie, the plan was to build a trilogy of films, but even at its most bullish, Warner Bros. only announced the two before things started to change. As for Eisenberg, he was built up in Batman v Superman, but appeared only for a few moments in a post-credits scene in Justice League.
Earlier today, Snyder revealed that Harry Lennix, who played General Calvin Swanwick in Man of Steel, was intended to be revealed as the shape-shifting Martian Manhunter in Justice League.
