The Coolest DC Villain Defeat Will Probably Never Get The Praise It Deserves

Summary

• The defeat of Steppenwolf in Zack Snyder's Justice League is widely regarded as the best on-screen demise of a DC villain.
• The Snyder Cut of Justice League showcases a more formidable and compelling version of Steppenwolf compared to the theatrical cut.
• While Steppenwolf's defeat in the Snyder Cut is deserving of praise, its lethal nature may contribute to its restrained acclaim due to discomfort with superhero movie villains being killed.

The coolest DC movie villain defeat—which is from Zack Snyder's Justice League—still has not gotten the praise it deserves. In the long history of DC movies, villain defeats have often been one of their most memorable elements, whether it's Batman's defeat of his enemies in The Dark Knight trilogy or Superman's still controversial killing of General Zod in Man of Steel. However, arguably the best on-screen demise of a DC villain is the defeat of Steppenwolf in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
The history of Zack Snyder's Justice League (or the Snyder Cut for short) has made it a unique example of superhero cinema, and one of the film's most praised elements is the massive upgrade of Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds). Widely criticized as a weak and unmemorable antagonist in the 2017 theatrical cut of Justice League, Steppenwolf returned as a far more fearsome Apokoliptian villain with a tragic backstory in the Snyder Cut. To top it off, Steppenwolf's defeat during the Zack Snyder's Justice League ending is not just leaps and bounds above how he is vanquished in the theatrical cut, but the best villain defeat in any DC movie.
