An anonymous Warner Bros. executive stated in February 2021 that even the studio did not like the "stupefying" changes brought to the finished film, criticizing the Black Clad and the Russian family as goofy and pointless additions to the film.
The executive affirmed that the finished film felt "awkward" because the studio did not want to admit what a "piece of shit" it had become.
Due to the film's poor performance, Warner Bros. decided to move away from Snyder's vision for a

#ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement
Immediately after the theatrical release of ''Justice League'', which later gained the derisive nickname "Josstice League",
fans created an online petition to release the "Snyder Cut" that gained more than 180,000 signatures.
The movement, which used the
hashtag #ReleaseTheSnyderCut on social media,
began before fans had any knowledge that a Snyder cut of ''Justice League'' actually existed.
The movement was ignited by the theatrical version's mixed reviews. Fans knew Snyder had left directorial and editorial duties in Whedon's hands; thus, they assumed Whedon created an inferior film. The circumstances were compared to those of ''

Revival
In March 2019, after months of speculation, Snyder confirmed that his original cut did exist and stated that it was up to Warner Bros. to release it.
In November, an insider claimed that Warner Bros. was unlikely to release Snyder's version in any form, calling such hopes a "pipe dream".
However, the following month, Snyder posted a photo in his
Vero account, showing boxes with tapes labeled "Z.S. J.L. Director's cut", with the caption "Is it real? Does it exist? Of course it does."

acknowledged the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement and reached out to Snyder.
The Snyders invited executives from Warner Bros., HBO Max, and DC to their home to view the Snyder Cut. Snyder also presented ideas, which included potentially releasing the cut in episodes. Impressed, the executives decided to let the project proceed. Snyder began to reassemble the film's original post-production team to finish the cut.
The effort was almost thwarted by the

, which was escalating around the time, but the Snyders pushed to continue with it. Snyder notified the original cast of the undertaking between April and May 2020; according to Snyder, Fisher was the first person he contacted, but initially thought Snyder was joking.
On May 20, 2020, Snyder announced during a Q&A after an online watch party of ''Man of Steel'' that his cut of ''Justice League'' would be released as ''Zack Snyder's Justice League'' on HBO Max in 2021.
Greenblatt said WarnerMedia tried to get the news out "as quickly as possible" before HBO Max launched on May 27.
Snyder, who had not yet seen the theatrical cut, described his cut as "an entirely new thing, and, especially talking to those who have seen the released movie, a new experience apart from that movie".
The Snyders felt that being able to finally finish ''Justice League'' would bring them closure, and were excited by the prospect of expanding the film's character development.
At that point, it was unclear what format ''Zack Snyder's Justice League'' would take for the release, whether as a four-hour-long film or a six-part

'' wrote that it was expected to cost $20–30 million to complete the visual effects, score, and editing.
However, Greenblatt indicated the release would be "wildly expensive" and cost more than the reported $30 million to complete.
On June 2020, Sandra Dewey, president of productions and business operations for WarnerMedia, stated in an interview that they are aiming for an "early to mid-2021" release.
In January 2021, Snyder confirmed that work on the cut had been completed.
Additional filming
While initial reports indicated that there would be no new material filmed,
in September 2020, it was revealed that Snyder was preparing to shoot additional footage. Affleck and Fisher reprised their roles for the shoot. The budget was estimated to have increased to $70 million due to the additional filming.
Filming began on October 6.

''The Hollywood Reporter''
's John DeFore gave the film a negative review. Though he acknowledged that the plot, tone, and visual effects were superior to the theatrical version, he criticized the runtime and dialogue, opining that it "largely maintains a testosterocious monotony from its first chapter".
Writing for ''The New Yorker'', Richard Brody criticized the runtime with scenes he felt to be "chopped down to a bare informational minimum, leaving no room for thought or emotion". Additionally, he criticized the visual effects and perceived the characterization to be a "trivialization, manipulation, and deformation of the sincere and serious emotions that undergird and motivate its cast of heroes".
While Richard Trenholm, writing for ''CNET'', praised the performances, he thought the film was bloated, feeling that there was an excess of scenes that "any responsible editor would trim without a moment's hesitation", and perceived the tone to be overly serious.
In a 1.5/4 star review for ''
The New York Observer
''The New York Observer'' was a weekly newspaper printed from 1987 to 2016, when it ceased print publication and became the online-only newspaper ''Observer''. The media site focuses on culture, real estate, media, politics and the entertainmen ...
'', Siddhant Adlakha wrote that "the film's improvements are hardly enough to fix what was, now quite apparently, a flawed endeavor from the start."
The BBC's Mark Kermode described the film as "turgid and bloated", further deeming the director's cut "uniformly boring as opposed to before when it was fractured and disjointed boring."
Hannah Strong of ''Little White Lies (magazine), Little White Lies'' gave a 2 out of 5 rating, concluding that it "is overlong, miserable and signifies nothing other than the potential of fandom to influence top-level creative decision-making."''
''
Accolades
In February 2022, the film was named one of the five finalists for the new Oscars Cheer Moment Twitter Sweepstakes as part of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' "Oscars Fan Favorite". The scene "The Flash Enters the Speed Force" finished in first place.
