Ever since the release of “Justice League” in 2017, many DC Comics fans have been actively campaigning to #ReleaseTheSnyderCut of the film. The movement began after director Zack Snyder, who had previously helmed two movies set in DC’s cinematic universe, 2013’s “Man of Steel” and 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” left the project in the middle of post-production amidst a family tragedy. “The Avengers” director Joss Whedon stepped in to get the project across the finish line through a process that included substantial reshoots and retools.
The result was not particularly well met. Critics had mixed to negative reactions to the film, with Variety calling it “as close to generic as a sharp-witted high-octane comic-book movie can get.” Audiences were also lukewarm on the film; “Justice League” grossed $229 million domestically and $657.9 million worldwide against a reported $300 million budget, a drop of more than $200 million from the gross of its predecessor.
