Dreamwalker artist Noel Layon Flores has revealed a new line of T-shirts, hoodies, and more featuring his incredible SnyderVerse artwork.
In March 2017, tragedy struck Zack Snyder’s family when his daughter Autumn Snyder sadly took her own life. Following this heartbreaking loss, the SnyderCut community raised an incredible $500,000 for The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). Moreover, when Zack Snyder’s Justice League was finally released, he dedicated the movie to Autumn’s memory.
Warner Bros. had hoped that would be the end of the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement. Nonetheless, the newly named #RestoreTheSnyderVerse movement was determined to keep fighting for Autumn and her father’s vision.
After James Gunn became the co-CEO of the newly formed DC Studios, he took the air out of that campaign. Gunn’s vision was to replace Henry Cavill as Superman. This was after his cameo in the post-credits of Black Adam and official announcement of his return. Warner Bros. Pictures Group co-chairs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy wanted Cavill to still be Superman; in fact, they were developing Man of Steel 2 until DC Studios Gunn’d those plans down.

Cavill’s Superman is the heart of the SnyderVerse; without him, there is no restoration, at least at Warner Bros. Discovery. When YouTube personality Skiiwalker Tha Jedi created the #SellZSJLToNetflix hashtag, he found a new hope. It hasn’t since broken one million tweets.
Snyder just held a fundraiser this weekend dubbed SnyderCon. Snyder’s three-day #FullCircle event gave his three DCEU movies theatrical screenings including an IMAX presentation of ZSJL. All proceeds made from the screenings were immediately donated to the AFSP.
Furthermore, both Ben Affleck and Ray Fisher made special guest appearances on the third day. Even if you’re not a fan of SnyderVerse, there’s no denying that the fan base have made some unbelievable accomplishments. These continue with Dreamwalker artist Flores.
Flores is known for his outstanding artwork on the horror comic book Dreamwalker. Geekosity founder and owner Mikey Sutton writes Dreamwalker and created the series with Flores. In February, Variety announced that Dreamwalker will be a live-action TV show under 108 Media. Philippine actress Kate Valdez, who inspired Sutton to have the character modeled after her, landed the lead role.
Dreamwalker’s stunning visual storytelling as well as its writing left readers awestruck.
During the buildup to SnyderCon, Flores started making some beautiful pieces based off of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. The full design featured the full team lineup plus Green Lantern, Mera, and the Martian Manhunter.
All of the SnyderVerse heroes united.

Skiiwalker approached Sutton about having Flores providing the illustrations. Flores immediately agreed. To Sutton, becoming involved in helping AFSP was personal to him. Sutton explained:
I survived my own suicide attempt in December 1986. I was only 18 at the time. It’s become a bigger problem now, especially with the younger generation. Nobody knew the depression I was going through; I kept it all in. If I didn’t live, I would’ve never experienced my dreams coming true decades later.
Suicide rates have climbed again in 2023. Per a study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they’re now rising among minorities, too:
While rates among white Americans have been higher for decades than those among Black and Hispanic Americans, rates are now rising in minority populations. The report also noted that suicides are happening more often in younger minorities, compared to older white adults.
Therefore, organizations such as the AFSP are more important than ever.
Various T-shirts and hoodies for men, women and children bearing Flores’ work are now available to buy here. Some feature the full team design and others with only the DC Trinity and singular characters.
All profits made will once again be kindly donated to the AFSP. Everyone who has donated or contributed are real-life superheroes.
Even though she’s no longer with us, Autumn Snyder will always be in our hearts.
