I think it’s obvious they left all the creative stuff to the filmmakers, then when they didn’t like what they see they tried to meddle in things and made things worse.

Canon is overrated anyway.

It’s also why Johns rejected multiple Flash scripts in favor of a Flashpoint story. He wants that story to be told in multiple medium. The guy is really not a good influence on DC media even before you count the abuse allegations from multiple sources. At the very least in JL, it’s treated as this big thing that Barry…

WB is large studio that is not unknown for spending exorbitant amounts of money. Who knows what the total purpose of that 70 million is. Rehiring workers? Extra marketing? Renegotiating rights for streaming?

The Snyder Cut being completed is misinformation. Snyder always said it had post-production work missing. The extra scenes he’s filming were not even planned to be included in 2017.

He has literally been showing footage from his version of JL on Vero since 2018.

I think Snyder is just more accustomed to stories that’s “show, not tell”

They filmed all the scenes, that much is true. It’s just missing all the effects and sound. Remember that JL was supposed to be a two-parter, with each part being roughly 2 hours long it seems.

I think the story ultimately has a similar ending, but how we got there has more story to it. The theatrical version felt a bit rushed, because Whedon essentially made a 2 hour movie out of a 4 hour story; JL was originally meant to be two movies. Superman has more scenes between his resurrection and the final battle,…

They foreshadowed this in BvS with Bruce seeing future Barry. As JL is a DC project involving The Flash when Geoff Johns was running things, you are getting time travel. Johns more or less made time travel inevitable any time The Flash is part of the story. It’s why it became a big factor in the CW Flash stories too.

In addition, they need more content for HBO Max and their new CEO is focusing the company on to streaming (I think she previously helped run BBC’s online service)

Well, likeable characters at least. The later movies get better with the writing though. The lines just fit every actor they’re given to.

This is not surprising at all. Nolan has been said to love Michael Bay action movies, he definitely appreciates the way Bay craft action scenes, and the F&F movies are of a similar breed just with better writing and more likeable characters. They’re also movies you want to see on a big screen with a cinema sound…

Yes, the studio execs at the time did not want Snyder’s version much to the chagrin of fans of MoS and BvS. But now the management at WB has changed and they have a different focus.

It definitely is. It would be little like the one seen in 2017. Although technically speaking it’s still a “director’s cut” since it’s using the scenes the credited director wanted to be in the final movie but was cut from it during editing.

Serenity also got a low rating but is appreciated for insane Matrix-level plot twist.

The algorithm confused Firefly Serenity with the insane fishing movie Serenity

Now I am confused for a moment. Does this mean the theatrical JL is still canon? Because Jenkins said pretty much all DC directors has ignored that version. There was even a rumor a while back that the makers of Aquaman consulted Snyder for the movie’s characterization. Or is the characterization the only extent, with…

Because Whedon filmed a lot of new scenes and removed major subplots from the movie. For example, the original version had no Russian family scenes, has Cyborg playing a bigger role, and time travel being a key plot device.
