Even before releasing the first cut of Justice League, the prolific director that had garnered a huge following after his successes in “300” (2007) and “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” (2016) hinted at the ‘black and white version’ as well.

According to him, he has always been a “huge advocate of and a huge admirer of” this version of the film. In fact, IGN says that Zack Snyder claimed that this was his “[favourite] version” as well.
In addition, he also hopes to be able to share an IMAX experience of his Justice League cut with fans one day. However, since we are still in the middle of a pandemic, he is willing to wait until cinemas begin to reopen. Zack Snyder is not the only one that loves ‘Justice Is Gray’, Ray Fisher who played Cyborg in the film has also been tweeting about it.
