Fabled ‘Snyder Cut’ of ‘Justice League’ to be released
Associated PressNEW YORK — For several years, the slogan “Release the Snyder cut” has reverberated online as a rallying cry both genuine and ironic — a “Vive la revolution” for comic book movie fans. Warner Bros. Pictures announced that a director’s cut of Zack Snyder’s 2017’s DC Comics film “Justice League” will next year debut on the streaming service HBO Max. Snyder first announced the news himself in a live video conference commentary for his Superman film “Man of Steel.” The so-called #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement began around the release of “Justice League,” a movie that Snyder directed but was replaced in post-production by Joss Whedon. By then, Snyder’s stewardship of the DC Comics films had drawn much criticism; his previous film “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” rated 28% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
