@rancid-schnitzel yeah, at least when they re cast the last time they were still about the same age as reeves/winter....the new ones look 15-20 years younger, must just have been me

Dark, and not to everyone's taste but lingers long and bitter.
Tom Holland is superb.

It’s on Binge. Luckily I share a friends login so I can watch it without contributing financially and then complain about it.

Joss Whedon only used 30mins of footage that Synder shot. So we are getting three and a half hours of the footage he originally shot. Only filmed one new scene.
It’s going to be completely different.

Well I share Stan with him, ouch does that technically mean I'm paying for it? Nah, it's ok, I get his Netflix as well so that balances out Stan.

I think after I watch JL he'll owe me - 4 hours of my time is worth more than a year or twos subscription to Netflix.

Yep, reshoots were 90mins of new footage and the little he did use he messed with the colour grading, edited entire characters out, swapped night to day. Changed the colour of super mans suit. Crap like that.
Synder quit because he couldn’t face fighting the studio heads after his family tragedy. They wanted a two hour movie so they could fit more screenings per day.
He was asking for closer to three hours, and had it almost cut ready for final effects. So not only did they pay for Synder to film about five hours of footage (to be edited down), but then paid Whedon for even more AND then paid another $70 million to finish the Synder Cut.
Obviously the people making those decisions have all been fired. The HBO Max release of this is an attempt to get the fans back onside, in preparation of the new Flash film that will have multiple Batmans in it. Otherwise known as the reset button.
Have to laugh at a story going around that Nolan (producer on these films) has forbidden Synder from ever seeing the Joss version.
How the mighty have fallen.

@crucial it was not a threat, just a hell of a lot of effort to go through for a flop

Can’t be a flop, it’s safe on a streaming service. All it needs to is get subscribers.
Even the shitty version made over 650 million on a $300 million budget. So add in the $70 mill extra, and DVDs, etc they are fine.
