Spoilers: Martin Manhunter revealed

The leak was first reported by Doug Bass of Charlotte, North Carolina. After him, several others confirmed that they could in fact, view the R-rated movie when attempting to play the more family-friendly 'Tom & Jerry' film. So what's been leaked? Only a handful of screenshots and videos have made their way to social media, so there's not a lot we know. One shows the reveal of Superman with glowing red eyes, much to the amusement of the Joker. It turns out the sequence is just a dream Bruce Wayne has.

Another shows Bruce interacting with Martin Manhunter, played by Harry Lennix. This is the first look at Manhunter, who hasn't been present in any of the promo footage. The minute-long interaction is certainly interesting as it teases Manhunter's role could be more significant than just a small cameo. A much shorter clip shows Steppenwolf battling Atlantic Guardians, but there's really nothing to be learned from that clip. 

Since the leak was addressed quickly, not a lot of scenes have made their way to social media. That's probably a good thing. Given how loyal fans have been waiting for three years for the Snyder cut. It must be infuriating to know that parents and young children beat them to the punch. 

Those who were luckly enough to get an early preview didn't seem too happy with the film. While some were excited to see the comic-accurate villains, many panned the CGI. "They spent $300 million on the original cut and another $70 million on the Snyder Cut and ended up with this CGI?" one user tweeted. Another said, "WB really paid 70 million to release the snyder cut only for the knightmare cgi to look god awful and choppy." Another user tweeted "WHy do the effects look so bad?? are they that bad b/c its not on a film Screen or bc/c the tv is 4k??? i really hope improvements r made."

So it looks like you are in for a dissapointment if you've been waiting for a visual treat from Snyder. The film may end up not meeting your expectations. You have been warned!

'It was Agatha all along'

Naturally, the moment found itself cemented in history through a variety of memes. The most common being users blaming Agatha, from 'WandaVision', for the leak. "I think we all know who leaked the Snyder Cut," one tweeted, sharing a GIF from the show. Another tweeted, "and I leaked the Snyder Cut too."

But it wasn't just 'WandaVision', 'Tom & Jerry' also found itself many memes. "The Snyder Cut got shared under Tom and Jerry because they thought it was Thomas Wayne and Jerry Siegel the co-creator of Superman," one user tweeted. Another posted, "Gonna be honest and confess that, “Live-action Tom and Jerry movie secretly being a backdoor method to leak the Snyder Cut” was not on my 2021 Bingo Card."
