With a four-hour runtime, it’s shocking to think any footage was left on the cutting room floor of the Snyder Cut of Justice League but director Zack Snyder has taken to Twitter to unveil a deleted scene involving Jared Leto’s Joker from the Knightmare epilogue of the film. The scene, which was featured in the trailers for the cut and went viral for the villain’s “We live in a society” speech, has been released in a collaborative effort between the actor and director to promote a new t-shirt featuring the quote for which half of all proceeds will benefit the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention. The clip can be viewed below!

Released in November 2017, the theatrical cut of Justice League earned mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike, praising the action and performances from Gadot and Miller while criticizing every other aspect of the film, namely the inconsistent tone that many fault Joss Whedon (The Avengers) for after taking over directorial duties from Snyder. With a large budget of $300 million and a break-even point of $750 million, the film is considered a box office bomb having grossed only $658 million.
