Warner Bros. has sent out a 2017 Fall Movie Preview to the press and it includes some very interesting Justice League details. There's obviously nothing new about the story but it's been confirmed that The Avengers director Joss Whedon is going to receive a writing credit on the DC Comics adaptation.

However, as of right now, Zack Snyder remains the only person to be credited as the film's director. 

That's been in doubt, especially as Whedon has been at the helm of "extensive" reshoots and is in charge of the post-production process, overseeing everything from the movie's score to putting the finishing touches on special effects. Whedon penned the new scenes which are being added in reshoots and those must be significant if he's received this sort of credit on the anticipated release.

According to the press release, Justice League boasts a "Story by Chris Terrio & Zack Snyder, Screenplay by Chris Terrio and Joss Whedon." How much do you think Whedon will change things?

Face turn for Joss Whedon? Or is this a heel turn? Do we still hate him?

But he's supposed to be doing barely anything on this film.

I kid and I don't.

Good. Snyder hasn't come close yet. Keep him as a DOP and consultant. He had his chance and blew it. Three times.

@JonesTheCat - He hasn't blown it once. Until you see his cut of the movie, you can't even say he's blown it a third time. Especially since he would still be directing what Whedon wrote if his daughter committed suicide.

@DoctorShadow - MoS, BvS:DoJ; Two of my favorite super hero films. But then I'm not a comic book fan, and those are the main ones complaining about Zack.

@SHFL - Not really. I've read tons of DC Comics and Zack Snyder's DC Films (Man of Steel and Batman v Superman) and those based on his stories Wonder Woman and, more than likely, Justice League) are three of my all time favorite Comic Book Movies. It's the fanboy purists that want their heroes to adhere to strong moral codes for no narrative reason, other than "they are Batman and Superman and they shouldn't need a reason to stick to those codes" that are the ones that hate the movies. Well, them, and the fans who misinterpreted Man of Steel and Batman v Superman as cautionary tales against heroism. The rest of us love his work.

If the film is good, Whedon will take the credit. If the film is bad, Snyder will take the fall.

However the film turns out, Whedon is a scumbag.

@Erik10101 - If the film makes all the money in the world, it could be due to Snyder finally getting it right. Or it could be de to the proven box office commodity that they snuck in at the last minute. You decide.

Why would Whedon get directing credit, even though Whedon is a real badass for treating women the way he does, Zack Snyder is the true visionary of the modern CBM industry. Extensive reshoots mean this movie is gonna suck anyway, just like Wonder Woman did because Patty Jenkins is a complete hack and can't direct a movie to save her life.

Thankfully, though, we still have some real movies like Suicide Squad, BvS, or Age of Apocalypse, movies that really shone thanks to impeccable casting, especially regarding Jared Leto and Jesse Eisenberg, and thanks to perfect comic-accuracy of the characters, like Mystique, Doomsday, Luthor and the Joker.

Justice League will neither in a million years reach the level of a few great shows like Iron Fist and Inhumans. Oh, and also Marvel movies are full of humor written by and for infants, and Black Panther looks like it's gonna be shit. Contrary to Transformers.

*I don't think I forgot anything*

Please discuss.

@Asturgis - Dude, Irony and Sarcasm do not work on Writings. People need to hear the tone of the sentence, to realize if it meant ironic.

But i got you, Bro!

@SeeL - NO NO NO

never explain sarcasm, even through text.

We both got it, that should be good enough.

It doesn't matter if people bash me, if one person realizes I am being sarcastic I am satisfied.

Even If that one person is me.

hell even irl the best sarcasm is when you seem serious.

Down with /s, protect our comedy people!
