Over the last few months, there have been various reports and rumours regarding the runtime of Justice League. Some are claiming it’s 150 minutes long, while others believe it will be a whopping 170 minutes long. A “like” on social media from Zack Snyder seems to suggest that the 2 hours and 50-minute runtime is accurate.
To put it in perspective, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring had a theatrical runtime of 178 minutes. Of course, back then cinemas even had a short interval in the middle of the film to give audiences a chance to stretch their legs. It’s not certain whether the same will be done for Justice League. Although, to be fair, it’s only 20 minutes longer than the theatrical runtime of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which is understandable when you consider the amount of ground it has to cover. The film will introduce more characters who will all be sharing screen time in the epic battle against Steppenwolf.
It’s also great news for those who felt the previous DCEU films had a few editing issues. It became evident when Warner released “better” extended versions of the films on DVD and Blu-ray. At 170 minutes, there shouldn’t be extended amounts left on the cutting floor.
For fans, this is probably great news. For others, probably not so much. It probably won’t be the best idea to fill up with liquids before the film starts.

Kill yourself
@Sean You care enough to read the article, write your idiotic comment and hit reply. When you don’t really care about something, you just ignore it. And don’t worry, like Wonder Woman, Justice League will rule the box office, it has plenty of action and humour, is not too dark for simpletons like you.
Dirk Scheepers fuck you. Telling a person to kill themselves yeah thats such great advice to give someone. Asshole
William Arilé you shut the fuck up
Sad that The Flash has no date set yet. Want me some Flash
No problem at all. Batman vs Superman’s story was told properly in the Ultimate edition. So the longer the better.
170 mins (For all u lazy ppl not wanting to open the article) is good. Can’t wait
Don’t you mean Joss Whedon’s?

Depends if it’s awesome or if I’ll need to gouge my eyeballs out.
BvsS. Was stupidly long and ruined it for me.
That will probably be the same case for this one.
I think this will be great because dc has suffered from their movies being cut short for the theatrical release. All the extended editions made them marginally better.
Australian & US cinema chains are advertising Justice League at 118 minutes – 121 minutes…..No way this film is 170 min!
