The RealityAfter Snyder departed the production during post-production for a real family tragedy, Warner Bros. brought in director Joss Whedon to oversee reshoots and edits. Producer Charles Roven publicly stated that 80-85% of the released film was Snyder's original footage, with 15-20% reshot by Whedon -- but cinematographer Fabian Wagner separately estimated that Whedon and the studio discarded roughly 90% of what he had shot with Snyder, a much larger discrepancy than the official figure suggested. The theatrical cut that actually released, credited solely to Snyder despite the extensive uncredited changes, was critically panned and underperformed financial expectations for a DC team-up film. A fan campaign later pushed Warner Bros. to release 'Zack Snyder's Justice League' in 2021, a substantially different, better-received version built from Snyder's original footage and vision.The film opened to just $55 million domestically against a $200 million production budget plus roughly $100 million in marketing, and is documented as the superhero film with the single biggest box office loss on record, with an estimated net loss around $155-200 million for Warner Bros. Star Ezra Miller faced a well-documented string of real legal troubles in the lead-up to release -- including a felony burglary charge in Vermont and multiple other publicized incidents involving assault and harassment allegations -- which significantly hampered the film's promotional campaign; Miller made only a rare, low-key appearance at the premiere without engaging in standard press or publicity activities. SHORT ANSWERJustice League: The 2017 theatrical Justice League was substantially reshot by director Joss Whedon after Zack Snyder's departure -- officially estimated at 15-20% of the film but described by the cinematographer as closer to 90% -- contradicting its marketing as Snyder's singular vision, which is part of why Warner Bros. later released an entirely different 'Snyder Cut' in 2021.
The Flash: The Flash recorded the biggest box office loss of any superhero film on record -- an estimated $155-200 million net loss -- undercut by star Ezra Miller's real, extensively documented legal troubles, which prevented a normal promotional campaign and contradicted its pre-release billing as one of the best superhero movies ever made.
