Snyder described coming up with original ways for the human Batman to take on the superhuman Justice League as difficult. He chose to focus on Batman using means to incapacitate the members instead of neutralizing them completely, to avoid hurting his closest friends outside of the members of his Bat-family. Snyder and Capullo discussed the major points of each issue before Snyder began writing the script, so that Capullo could provide input on how to convey the action scenes. In one instance he suggested conveying the Flash's speed by having him tear away a piece of Batman's armor, and the rest of the action occurring within the timespan it takes for the piece to fall to the ground.

Snyder originally considered this scene for DotF, with the Joker mailing the hand to Batman. Snyder considered that as the former story represented love, and "Endgame" representing hatred, the story needed to show that the stakes were high and that anything could happen with the Joker, even him entering the Batcave. Similarly, he felt that this story was the only place that would allow for Batman to team up his rogues gallery to defeat the Joker's ultimate plan. [3]

She's starting to connect with other people and find some level of forgiveness." Gillan guessed that Nebula would play a prominent role in the film when she realized that Infinity War and Endgame would be adapted from The Infinity Gauntlet, which she had previously read when she was initially cast as Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014). Gillan shared several scenes with Downey in the film's opening, and the two improvised most of their scenes together. [37]
