Warner Bros. currently has no plans to ReleaseTheSnyderCut of JusticeLeague either in theaters or on HBO Max: 'That's a pipe dream. There's no way it's ever happening'

appears to have hit its stride, rebounding from the commercial failure of “Justice League” and the critical drubbing of “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” with a few well-timed box office successes. “Aquaman” and “Joker” both generated over $1 billion at the global box office, becoming the first DC productions to reach those lofty figures since Christopher Nolan wrapped up his Batman trilogy with 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises.

Internally, insiders are quick to credit Walter Hamada, the longtime New Line executive who was brought on board in 2018 as president of DC Films, with helping to plot a new, more sustainable course for the DC cinematic universe. He’s credited with having a strong sense of story and with keeping a firm eye on the bottom line, reining in budgets so productions don’t go off the rails. It also helps that he is closely allied with Warner Bros.

Analysts believe the studio has hit upon a smart strategy — 20th Century Fox had backed R-rated comic book movies such as “Deadpool” and “Logan,” but after being bought by Disney, which prefers its heroes to be cleaner and less prone to f-bombs, it’s unclear if it will continue to back those type of projects.

Warners and DC also still have faith in Ezra Miller’s smart-ass interpretation of the Flash and are proceeding with development on a standalone film based on the character. DC has tapped “It” director Andy Muschietti to oversee the movie and has enlisted Christina Hodson to write the screenplay — Hodson will finish that assignment that before moving on to write a screenplay for “Batgirl.

Birds of prey!!!

ReleaseTheSnyderCut Snydercut is the most anticipated DC film to date.

BIRDS OF PREY PERIOD

I haven't seen the Justice League film that was marketed back in 2017. After two years it still hasn't been released yet. It's very unlike a big studio to throw away money like that. So I'm most excited for ReleaseTheSnyderCut.

ReleaseTheSnyderCut

I voted in the poll but I would also like to know what character of Sophia Di Martino in the Loki Series. Because she has rumor ed to be Verity Willis, Sigyn, Enchantress and Lady Loki. ( I prefer Verity or Sigyn) please

Aquaman 2

Ask me next year when I have something to latch onto.

The Snyder Cut. ReleaseTheSnyderCut

ReleaseTheSnyderCut of course.

ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Too soon to be hopeful about the Suicide Squad reboot. Not enough info or trailers or even stills. Is it even past the preproduction stage?

The Snyder Cut of Justice League ReleaseTheSnyderCut

The Snyder Cut of the Justice League. ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Yeah, Michael B. Jordan for Superman instead of John Stewart or Cyborg is the worst thing ever. The guy looks like a Marine and those eyes literally seem like they’ve seen war. He’s aggressive. Angry. Not wholesome or bucolic. Oh also... Martian Manhunter? wbpictures jjabrams

ReleaseTheSnyderCut

This is exciting for the dc universe. I see a rise in the making.

Zzz

When Zack Snyder says its done, it means that it's ready to be out for release. It can be released in select theatres, 4K and blue ray, or through streaming service of choice . Its up to them to find a time to release it, my guess is after' New Gods'.

Is anyone actually shocked if they don’t release it

Lies and manipulation... ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Fake News, just a group of people who have been trying to flush it since 2017 ReleaseTheSnyderCut

It's not a new version it's the original version of justice league ReleaseTheSnyderCut

This reeks of Toby emmerich

Why tf is the intro black panther lmao

We kinda hoper trade like Variety is not easily bought to spread studio (toby emmerich's) BS...

We will get it ReleaseTheSynderCut

Not even on home media such as Blu Ray / 4k. 😢

ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Neither BirdsofPrey nor TheSuicideSquad are the result of the Joker success. Both were in production (or wrapped) by the time Joker came out. Not all DC movies should be rated R, but these three probably should be.

Fans across the world are shouting for ReleaseTheSnyderCut. WB cannot force feed their fans. WB should listen up.

I like mbj but wtf

He can keep it tbh.

michaelb4jordan will be an AMAZING Superman. Would love this to happen DCComics wbpictures

He would be great as Val Zod earth 2 Superman.

'picture this: a superman movie BUT superman is..........black'

For that 6 year window!

The fuck Make The Flash...

Like it! We would like to invite you to read our comics.

They have a property ready for them. Zack Snyder made it. ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Character I’ll served by theatrical versions? So they are releasing the Snyder Cut then? ReleaseTheSnyderCut

The future of DC films ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Joker doesn't compare, with this crap. 💩

krolljvar BrentALang did the 'unnamed, internal and influential source' also forget about Watchmen, V for Vendetta and Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice? And we should trust you on the Snyder Cut? 🤣

Dead horses being flogged

Only God knows how painful that was.

They should connect the GL show and GL movie...have characters crossover

wbpictures hbomax let me clear 1 thing unless you ReleaseTheSnyderCut I'm not spending a penny on you..

Why a IP that did 700+ Plus Without China being Pg13 WHY put in Rated R ?

GailSimone Ah... Well. This isn't good news specifically for me, because for personal reasons, I really can't watch gorey movies. I could just *barely* watch Deadpool 1&2, and had to cover my eyes several times while he was butchering people. But... this is good news for the genre.

That's cool! ReleaseTheSnyderCut

What make young girls to like this guy?

Like it! We would like to invite you to read our comics.

GailSimone

wbpictures ya'll are the worst... ReleaseTheSnyderCut warnerbros RandyATT annmiz WarnerMediaGrp jjabrams

It should be. It will be 💥

Are you sure about that? It seems like a HUGE missed opportunity not to release it. Warner Bros should give it a shot, it might become a MASSIVE HIT. Never doubt the power of ZackSnyder and his fans. 😉 ReleaseTheSnyderCut (214 minutes)

“That’s a pipe dream,” said one knowledgeable insider. “There’s no way it’s ever happening.”.....Geoff Johns at it again.

It's not like Snyder's track record with the DCEU was flawless. I liked MoS more than most, but BvS was awful and the extended barely helped. I don't know how you improve the half-baked characters and weak plot of JL. People are acting like Michael Bay finished a Scorsese movie.

Haha Batman Cinematic Universe is coming

ReleaseTheSnyderCut

To which anyone who knows anything about how movies are made reponds, “Duh.”

ReleaseTheSnyderCut

ManaByte Warner brothers could come out and say this and y’all still won’t believe it

They finally acknowledge there's a snyder cut. In a couple of months they will say that they decided to spend those few millions and will release it on HBO Max, you'll see... ReleaseTheSnyderCut

At least mention a credible source before making a claim, and WB are assholes, they've shat on DC's source material time and time again. I can bet $100 that they will meddle with WW84 and Black Adam, if they make a Green lantern movie, they will force the suit colour to be Black.

Did Warner tell you that? Interesting time for this article, huh?

ManaByte Bet you would love that, huh? You jerk

Need a bunch of quote tweets and clicks for a slow week eh? Nah. We’re not falling for this. We know it’s coming. ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Click bait much?

Bat_uitero en el fondo es mejor así

ManaByte This is m being shocked

Lmao.

ManaByte All of you really need to give up on this myth of a Snyder cut. It’s been 2 years and they’d have to spend millions on a film that already failed. There is no reason to do this just for the small number of people who have this bizarre fixation.

Stay mad

I Know what are you traying to do! ReleaseTheSnyderCut

“We don’t care about our fans and are totally ok with the executives who rushed this movie to cash in on bonuses before the merger was complete.”

Not even if a millionaire fan donates the money necessary to finish it?

Yeah I think the “knowledgeable insider” is hitting a certain type of pipe. It’s being released it’s just a matter of time.

This is never gunna stop guys..........just ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Couldn’t pay me to watch Justice League again. Movie was bad, and assuming not even God’s cut could save that abomination.

I’m just here for the mentions

Snyder babies will still bitch and moan about it

It’s said in the article that because Justice League bombed, there’s little reason WB has for putting more money into it.

With NO actual word from anyone inside of the WB office, your article is invalid. ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Oh, man! We could have seen another bad movie but in a different way.

At this point they might as well drop whatever version they have VFX done or not but be difficult I guess
