After last week’s blockbuster revelations by Zack Snyder about how all the changes made to Justice League was due to the kneejerk reaction towards Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, fans wondered if Warner Bros. pondered what we all did at that point. Of course, the true Snyder vision of the all-star team-up was never filmed, but would we still see the fabled Snyder Cut of Justice League that everyone has so desperately clamoured for?
Well, it looks like all those hashtags and petitions worked. Warner Bros. finally revealed that it will release the Director’s Cut of Justice League on Blu-ray and DVD. The news came out of nowhere and shocked reporters around the globe as no one expected it to happen. According to Deadline and The Wrap, this version will be around 212 minutes in length and feature an appearance by Darkseid—none of this has been confirmed by the studio just yet, so do take it with a pinch of salt.
Here’s the official statement made by Warner Bros.:
“Unite the six! Justice League brought together DC’s most important superheroes for the first time on the big screen. Now, you’ll be able to bring home the original Director’s Cut of the film, with additional scenes and surprises. Justice League: The Director’s Cut will arrive on Blu-ray and DVD on June 25, 2019.”
Interestingly, the studio doesn’t refer to it as the Snyder Cut, nor does it acknowledge the controversy around the original release in the first place. Even so, let’s just take the win here and celebrate the fact that Warner Bros. heard our pleas.
Last night, Snyder took to his favourite social platform Vero to celebrate the news. He posted a previously unseen picture of the Justice League assembled with the caption “FINALLY”.
Oh, by the way, just check the date today. April Fools’!
1. Yes, there is a Snyder Cut. Snyder has been going on and on about its existence. He feels that if he carries on about it, the fans will put pressure on WB, and they will have to release it… like they did with the Dick Donner Cut of Superman II.
2. WB will never release a Snyder Cut. By releasing it, it’ll be them admitting that they f-ed up. WB never do that.
There is a Snyder Cut, but it will never see the light of day.
Justice League Ultimate Edition sounds exciting to watch. I can’t wait to buy this til June 25th, 2019. Zack Synder is the best director idea ever. I’m so excited so does the fan excited! 😊
lol all these snyder fanboys think it exists. They never shot his version of the film. probably cause it sucked so bad
If this is an April Fool’s day prank, then you’ve made a big mistake! I’ll only buy into this announcement if it is 100% true.

You’re a f**n idiot with no idea on the situation. Go do your research before you make stupid comments like this.
Zack Snyder said he never filmed his very first intended idea for JL , but he said that he has completed filming his own version to accommodate studio demands after BvS:DOJ fell short of studio expectations, so the Snyder cut is real. The studio still disliked Snyder’s cut and ordered Joss Whedon to do reshoots after Snyder left to take family time for his daughter’s suicide, and Whedon change the story during the reshoots. The Snyder cut has some of the same elements, but it’s an entirely different JL than what we got and not just with some scenes from trailers removed. #ReleaseTheSnyderCut!
If they don’t want to make money off it, it’s a comic book movie, let them leak the Damn thing then. Will it do them any harm????
