Finally! I won't be surprised if that edition will be much better in comparison to what we saw... And I hope DC realises what kind of a mess they've done, and how the audience loved dark tones of the movie
Check out facebook numbers of comments/likes just in one hour, 99% of them were in support of Ben's Batman. Twitter has almost equal trend
This will be either one 4 hours episode or six 1 hour episodes. Additional budget of ~21 mil of USD to get actor roster back in action to reshoot some parts
I still think the original justice league will remain the worst movie ever made (going by the top gear criteria of the money they had the people involved and the knowledge of the participants) But I'd give this a fresh go
The movie was cursed for so many things and I really can't just bring up any one thing but the hard two hour run time made everything else about the movie worse.
The CW DC universe shouldn't be better then the DC cinematic universe.
JL Apokalips War was amazing indeed, and last few animated movies were also great (Death of the Superman, Red Son etc). Yea, they could do so much more with such talented actors/production...
I wonder if success of Apokalips War has triggered to re-shoot Snyder's Cut eventually, since animated movie took some plot from Snyder's vision.
I remain sceptical about this. I think no amount of reshoots will fix the terrible villain and his motives, the hot mess of CGI in the last part of the film and the horrible portrayal of some of the characters, namely Superman. The underlying problems with the DCU go all the way back to MoS and BvS imo and those were created by Snyder himself when he had full creative freedom. I would love to be proven wrong, but I seriously doubt it. When DC hires someone like Filoni or Feige, they might make a film universe that people will care about.
Rumours it could be 4 hours long? So 2 hours of new content, that is insane! I would be happier if it was 4 x 1 hour specials instead of a whole release though might hype it a bit more.
Still i am hyped i always found most heroes in the DC world were more fun to me personally minus Spiderman xD
I don't think anything can really save this movie. You have the most boring and uninspired villain ever and barely any plot going on. Adding more dark and brooding stuff to it might just make it insufferable.
I always thought the DC universe has more substance to it than the Marvel one though, following comic book lore and some of the Marvel movies that have tried to portray them haha.
I guess the main issue is trying to commercialize a deep plot comic book to the whole world results in what films we get. This Justice League film sums it up, it was just a light hearted family film with some superheroes people know, rather than having a story to it.

The problem with this is that DC/WB have woken up too late and had to play catch-up not to get left behind on the superhero genre. They went about it completely the wrong way though, doing Justice League before all the characters in it had their own movies and there being no overarching story (like how Marvel was planting tidbits in each movie leading to the Infinity War). If you look at those both franchises it's not that much different, good heroes try to stop OP bad guy from collecting all MacGuffins. The difference here being that Marvel released 10 movies leading to the culmination of the story while DC got out less (6? 7? and most of them just for 2 characters) and none of them were really leading to what happened in the Justice League.
I like that they're trying to go for this darker setting to differentiate themselves from Marvel, but they go about it the wrong way too. They should stop playing it safe and go rated R, doing story-heavy and deeper movies as opposed to Marvel's safe and family-friendly dumb fun. I would totally dig that (and I think most people would appreciate rated R Batman, Constantine etc.), instead they made this whole mess that's lazy and not good at all.
They can still salvage it though. Not with "Snyder Cuts" of shit movies but by rebooting everything. They could start with a series of movies or a big budget TV show based on Flashpoint for example.
Yeah i agree, they left it too late. Crazy that WB waited so long for it and did it this way, you would have thought they would have cashed in on the way Marvel did it and literally copy pasted it but with their super heroes and a different way of telling it.
Oh well, lets hope WB picks up the slack somewhere.
I don't really think a slightly updated and altered version of a movie that was utter garbage will be any good. Unless this cut reworks like 90% of the movie I don't see the point.
Zack Snyder is looking to bring his highly anticipated director's cut of Justice League to the big screen — and his new footage would likely tip the four-hour opus into an R-rating.
"Here's one piece of information nobody knows: The movie is insane and so epic and is probably rated R — that's one thing I think will happen, that it will be an R-rated version, for sure," Snyder tells EW. "We haven't heard from the MPAA, but that's my gut."
Asked for details about what makes the new footage explicit, Snyder reveals, "There's one scene where Batman drops an F-bomb. Cyborg is not too happy with what's going on with his life before he meets the Justice League, and he tends to speak his mind. And Steppenwolf is pretty much just hacking people in half. So [the rating would be due to] violence and profanity, probably both."
Perhaps an even bolder move than a cussing Dark Knight is Snyder pushing for Warner Bros. to release his recut and supersized HBO Max film on the big screen in 2021, at a time when parent company WarnerMedia is trying to boost its nascent streaming service with as much exclusive content as possible. To be clear, a decision on whether to release the film theatrically has not yet been made, and Warner Bros. had no comment for this story. But Snyder has previously stated that adding a big-screen rollout along with the HBO Max release is his preference and now the director suggests steps are being taken in that direction.
"I'm a huge fan and a big supporter of the cinematic experience, and we're already talking about Justice League playing theatrically at the same time it's coming to HBO Max," Snyder says. "So weirdly, it's the reverse [of the trend]."
Warner Bros. is releasing every film on its 2021 slate on HBO Max at the same time as their theatrical release, a move that's drawn considerable criticism from filmmakers such as Christopher Nolan and Judd Apatow. Where did Snyder land on this polarizing issue? "It felt like a pretty bold move and that maybe the implication wasn't 100 percent thought out," he says. "I feel like there's a lot of people panicking during COVID. I hope that, in the end, that's what this was — some sort of knee-jerk to COVID and not some sort of greater move to disrupt the theatrical experience. I thought we were kind of already getting very close to the ideal theatrical window where you still had marketing material out there and you hadn't forgotten about the film by the time it came out on DVD or streaming. I thought we were starting to hone in on that sweet spot, but this kind of throws a monkey wrench in the works."
Snyder was the original director on Justice League and then stepped down from the project. Director Joss Whedon took over the film and shot new footage for the theatrical version released in 2017, which received a negative reception from fans and critics. After a massive fan lobbying campaign to "Release the Snyder Cut," WarnerMedia decided to fund Snyder's vision to rework the film into a limited series for HBO Max at a reported cost of up to $70 million. Snyder's new footage, shot over eight days, includes scenes with the core cast, including Ben Affleck (Batman) and Ray Fisher (Cyborg).
