Zack Snyder’s cut of “Justice League” made its debut on Thursday on HBO Max, a subscription streaming service launched last year by AT&T Inc’s WarnerMedia. This has happened after the constant pressure of fans who were disappointed by the 2017 film “Justice League”.

Now they will be able to see the original director’s vision for the movie that united several DC Comics superheroes on screen for the first time, reports Reuters.

“This movie would not exist at all without the fans, without the fans’ pressure and without their constant drumbeat and without their dedication on such a level that you can’t even imagine,” Snyder told Reuters in an interview.

Snyder and his producer wife Deborah left the original film before it was finished following the death of their daughter. The movie was completed by “Avengers” director Joss Whedon.

However, critics and fans  didn’t like the film as they thought the storytelling was disjointed and the visual effects messy.

Soon after that, fans began lobbying for WarnerMedia to release Snyder’s version of the film. They even bought a billboard in New York’s Times Square in October 2019 to promote their cause.

The company agreed and let Snyder rework a black-and-white version that he had completed in 2017.

The new movie has got into greater detail with characters like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg, and explains the motives of their enemy, Steppenwolf. Stars include Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.
