"My record, especially with my director's cuts, is pretty crazy." Snyder was also asked if his Justice League cut would be a continuation of the DC Extended Universe as-is. "That's a good question. We shot the movie in 2016. It'll be five when it comes out, for me. And frankly, the DC Cinematic Universe has branched like a tree and blossomed and grown." in an amazing, amazing way." Snyder praised upcoming movies like Wonder Woman 1984 and The Batman, as well as their respective directors Patty Jenkins and Matt Reeves.

Fans probably won't be bothered

A movie longer than 214 minutes doesn't sound like our idea of ​​a good time at the theater, but it's less important when it comes to a streaming-only service. For those campaigning for the Justice League Snyder Cut, seeing the fullest version of the movie possible is one of the reasons they wanted this to happen. In the case of Batman Vs Superman, the Ultimate Edition of this movie is slightly better than the Theatrical Edition, but not dramatically. In the case of Justice League, the differences between the Snyder Cut and the one released in theaters will be significant, requiring new effects and costing more than €30 million.
