When a family tragedy forced director Zack Snyder to step away from 2017's Justice League while in post-production, Joss Whedon stepped in to replace him—and the result was not one of the better DC Comics films. But fan enthusiasm encouraged HBO Max gave Snyder a do-over, allowing him to re-edit the film and add new effects and even a few minutes of new footage (which included the addition of Jared Leto's Joker). Reviewers think the four-hour Snyder cut (which debuted in March of 2021) is a slight improvement over the theatrical release, but it's still not a great film.
