It was the first time any of them had seen a hashtag beamed directly onto the surface of the moon.
WARNER BROS
In May came the news DCEU fans had been waiting for since November 2017, when
Justice League
landed in multiplexes not with a kick-ass superhero pose but a spectacular faceplant: the Snyder Cut is getting a release! Well, after spending over $20m on cutting, scoring and effects
work, that is - it’s set to debut on HBO Max at some point in 2021.
After directing Man Of Steel and Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Zack Snyder was in post-production on superhero squad movie Justice League when a family tragedy required him to step away. Warner Bros hired Joss Whedon to finish the film, reshot and retooled to lighten the tone. It made sense at the time; Wonder Woman had stepped out of the DCEU’s shadow to become a critical and commercial smash, and Whedon had scored big (laughs) with Avengers Assemble. But in retrospect it made no sense - Justice League received dire notices and took $658m at the box office, a small return for such a supersized endeavour.
