The ultimate edition of Batman v Superman is the only right way to watch that movie, and near the end, we get to see Lex Luthor having his talk with Steppenwolf about Mother Boxes. Apparently, the original design of Steppenwolf for Justice League was supposed to be closer to that, but somehow they changed it for the theatrical cut of the film.

Word has it that WB wanted to make the movie more marketable for children, hence they changed his design to be less scary. In the end, it resulted in one of the most forgettable CG villains in comic book movie history. Even actor Ciaran Hinds was said not to have been pleased with the final product of his performance.

With the Snyder Cut, fans are hoping that we get the original look of Steppenwolf back, as well as more of his backstory with the Mother Boxes.
