Warning: The below interview has spoilers about Zack Snyder’s Justice League which is dropping on HBO Max today. It’s pretty common for any notable director to have a director’s c…

221 minutes. Usually, these are the running times reserved for these epic movies. What warranted, for you, a four-hour cut of Justice League?It’s a good question. I mean, literally, I think it has a lot to do with what the ask is. The ask is to unite these 7 characters or 6 characters into a team. If you want them all to be fully realized, you’re asking for a lot of movie, and it just, it wasn’t my intention to create a four-hour movie.

When you returned to making this movie, was there a notion to make your version more of an anchor to the greater DC Universe, Warner Bros. is building? Watching the movie again, it certainly feels more interconnected to recent DC films. Yeah. Yeah. So, basically, in a nutshell, the elevator pitch of the next two movies would’ve been that Darkseid comes to Earth, Superman succumbs to the Anti-Life Equation, which is the thing that allows Darkseid to control the universe. Superman joins him in his sorrow over the death of Lois, and the Earth falls, and then in the post-apocalyptic world, Batman and Flash run time back to save Lois Lane, and therefore, Superman does not succumb, and at the very end.

Can I point to a single moment that really kind of was the catalyst and said I think there was a call? There was a call to my agent, and basically the ask was can Zach just release the movie in a rough-cut form, if we don’t want to like spend any money on it? And then, I said to that a hard ‘No’, and then, after that, I said, ‘But, shit, can I at least come in and pitch you guys what I would propose to be a cool way to experience the movie on HBO Max?’ and the ask was to release it on HBO Max...

Can you talk about the resonance of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”? You used the song in the trailer, and there was that beautiful piano version in the end credits.
