There's controversy and then there's comic book movie controversy. While usually its concerning something more lighthearted like the internet losing their minds over some kind casting decision, we sometimes get the darker stuff. Like "shifting an entire studio's hierarchy" level of craziness. From reported verbal abuse to alleged threatening of careers to Ben Affleck's struggles throughout the making, there's a lot of bad that came from Warner's 2017 film. So today on DC Revisited, we're diving into the moustache removing and tone lightening of Joss Whedon's Justice League.

It was pretty much DOA. Joss didn’t help but I doubt Snyder’s version would have been much better.

Snyder’s version is worse from my experience, don't know what all the praises were about.

The film was a disaster. And given Snyder's controversial 'creative' choices with MOS and BvS I don't think it would have fared any better even if he'd stayed on board. Still hurts how the first ever big screen, live-action JL movie - something I'd been hoping for for so many years - turned out.
