Yeah, it feels very deliberately coordinated. It seems likely they put a rough cut as an enticement to stream HBOMax - like a bonus feature on the DCEU page.

Seems like kneejerk anti-Snyderism to me.  I’m always for more content options and would love to see what Snyder intended.  What do I care if it costs Warner some money?

It doesn’t help you have guys like Jay Oliva who seem to actively feed the fanbase with baseless claims of there being a “nearly complete” version of the movie hidden away somewhere, leading to cases of phone and online harassment. 

I always argue with friends that Arrow S2 is the best of the whole show.  Every single flashback fit so well and made so much sense.  It was beautifully put together.

The latter part of season 2 is still the best Arrow has ever been as far as I’m concerned, and a lot of that is thanks to Manu Bennett.

Goddamn, Arrow S2 aka the Deathstroke season is still pretty great. So I definitely understand Manu Bennett’s annoyance when he came back seasons later and had to look like a chump in order to get him back into the cell.
