That's almost as long as your average Transformers live action movie and those made a smooth billion dollars each. I smell a winning formula.

The theatrical version will get rid of patented Snyder slowdowns and clock in at just under 40 minutes.

I loved the hell out of BR2049 and that was 3 hours.

Justice League... for four hours? I'm not sure my brain, no less my ass, would handle that well in a single sitting.

When I watched JL in theaters, I thought to myself "this should be rated R and nearly triple its runtime." I'd say the only way I could watch this is after an edible, but I don't need it to feel even longer.

What's he going to do, splice together Justice League and BvS and put in some CGI blood?

Or worse, we get Doomsday schlong in 4k.

"The movie is insane ... There's one scene where Batman drops an F-bomb"

What an absolute child.

You can tell he really understands the franchise and characters.

People who like comic books: "The movie is insane.. there's one shot where all the Avengers are on-screen in action and it's the culmination of ten or whatever years of setup."

Zack Snyder: "The movie is insane. I made Batman say a swear word and there's 30% more grunting and 100% less jokes."

Theater seats should have built in toilets so you can do your business while watching the movie.

The only way I would like this would be if it was just a shot-for-shot recreation of the 1966 movie's "sometimes you just can't get rid of a bomb" scene, but instead of carrying around a real bomb he just really has to say "Fuck!" but he keeps running into children and nuns and stuff.

How many rape scenes will there be? Dude is batting 4 out of 6 according to Maggie Mae Fish, can he make it to 71% of his films?

I remember when I was a kid reading Justice League comics and thought "I hope one day an emotionally stunted manchild makes a four hour R-rated movie with desaturated color in every shot out of this."

Exclusive: 'Zack Snyder's Justice League' might get R-rated theatrical release

Zack Snyder says his four-hour cut of 'Justice League' is likely coming to theaters — with an R rating and F-bomb-dropping Batman. Plus, the director weighs in on the Warner Bros. streaming controversy.

Zack Snyder is looking to bring his highly anticipated director's cut of Justice League to the big screen — and his new footage would likely tip the four-hour opus into an R-rating.

"Here's one piece of information nobody knows: The movie is insane and so epic and is probably rated R — that's one thing I think will happen, that it will be an R-rated version, for sure," Snyder tells EW. "We haven't heard from the MPAA, but that's my gut."

Asked for details about what makes the new footage explicit, Snyder reveals, "There's one scene where Batman drops an F-bomb. Cyborg is not too happy with what's going on with his life before he meets the Justice League, and he tends to speak his mind. And Steppenwolf is pretty much just hacking people in half. So [the rating would be due to] violence and profanity, probably both."



Perhaps an even bolder move than a cussing Dark Knight is Snyder pushing for Warner Bros. to release his recut and supersized HBO Max film on the big screen in 2021, at a time when parent company WarnerMedia is trying to boost its nascent streaming service with as much exclusive content as possible. To be clear, a decision on whether to release the film theatrically has not yet been made, and Warner Bros. had no comment for this story. But Snyder has previously stated that adding a big-screen rollout along with the HBO Max release is his preference and now the director suggests steps are being taken in that direction.
