Director Chris McKay originally wanted to include a number of villains from R-rated films among the Phantom Zone prisoners, but he was forced to drop as it was deemed too inappropriate for an all-ages movie to include them. Some of said dropped villains McKay wanted included Bill (from Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) ), Annie Wilkes (from Misery (1990) ), Bill “The Butcher” Cutting (from Gangs of New York (2002) ), and HAL 9000 (from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) ).

The Review: After the Batman v Superman disaster, DC has completely made up to hollywood. Like the Lego Movie, This spin-off has a very thick plotline. With great characters, they brought this movie to life! One of the best films of 2017!
