THE DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (SO FAR…) Warner Bros, HBO Max, and director Zack Snyder announced today that they will release a new cut of the film Justice League. This was brought forth after years of valiant fandom claiming WB should #ReleaseTheSnyderCut. The thought behind this movement stems from the fact that Snyder left Justice League mid-production after the death of his daughter.
