Where does the first part end? Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck), Diana Prince (Gal Gadot), Barry Allen (Ezra Miller), Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa), and Victor Stone (Ray Fisher) come to a consensus that in order to stop Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds) they must find a way to bring Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) back to life.  

Final line of dialogue on the first part: “There are six, not five. There is no us without him,” states Bruce Wayne.

First line of dialogue on the second part: The title ‘Part 5: All the King’s Hero’s’ is displayed. The scene then transitions to a graveyard where Barry Allen and Victor Stone dig up Clark Kent’s grave. Barry states to Victor, “Cross this one off the bucket list.”

How jarring is it when the first part ends? Somewhat, with the last Mother Box displaying an image of Superman the Justice League realize they will need to resurrect Clark Kent. Will the Justice League be able to successfully resurrect Clark Kent and stop Steppenwolf from collecting the last Mother Box?

Which part is better? Part two is significantly better as all the members of Justice League are brought back together and engage in a final assault against Steppenwolf at the abandoned Russian city of Pozharnov.
