Zack Snyder shares what he appreciated about Joss Whedon’s Justice League

Zack Snyder has not seen Joss Whedon’s theatrical cut of Justice League. However, he mentioned one detail from the film that he found amusing during his appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz.

Snyder explained that his wife Debbie advised him against watching the theatrical version. “When Debbie came back to me after watching the cut of Justice League, the Joss cut of Justice League, and she said, ‘You are to never see that movie,’” Snyder recalled. He noted that this moment essentially marked the end of his time in the DC universe.

Despite not watching the full film, Snyder became aware of one specific detail through memes. He described a moment in the title sequence that caught his attention. “On my where it says directed by Zack Snyder, there is a homeless person that has a sign that says I tried,” Snyder explained during the Toronto International Film Festival conversation.

Rather than feeling bitterness, Snyder found the visual darkly entertaining. “I was like wow that’s cool. That’s a good like if I hadn’t done my Justice League that would have been the end of it, right?” he said. The director acknowledged that without the eventual release of the Snyder Cut, that image would have permanently defined his DC legacy.

Snyder premiered his new independent film The Last Photograph at TIFF during the same festival appearance. He also discussed upcoming projects including the 300 prequel series and his Escape from New York remake. The director confirmed he plans to direct at least part of the television series. Snyder has also written 10 of 12 episodes for his long-awaited Fountainhead limited series adaptation.
