The fallout of 2017’s disaster Justice League was an outcry of the fans to give them the original vision of Zack Snyder. The Joss Whedon directed film was a disappointment for not only every DC fans but also any cinephile. Add to that the allegations of Gal Gadot on director Joss Whedon’s behavior. The Justice League altogether was turning out to be a nightmare of Warner Bros. The uproar for the Zack Snyder’s Justice League was increasing with every new day. Many Warner Bros. executives had denied the existence of the Snyder Cut but Snyder had repeatedly dropped hints that the version indeed existed. The fans campaign was so persuasive that Warner Bros. had to finally admit the existence of the Snyder Cut and let Snyder work on it so that the fans can see it.
The 4 years of protesting was worth it as when the Snyder Cut released it was a 4 hour long affair. Upping every element for Whedon film, Snyder gave us a darker, grimmer, bigger and an overall better version of the Justice League. This is movie fans wished to see, the team up that was in the making since Man of Steel. This movie is indeed special as it is a result of the vigorous fan campaigning. Alas, the movie never released in theatres as Warner Bros. directly put it on HBO Max. For a longtime the movie was not even available for digital purchase or for Blu-ray copies. However, a few months back that changed and today it looks like the Justice League many finally get a theatrical release
