In November 2017, Warner Bros. released Justice League, the fifth installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The film was a critical and commercial failure, grossing only $657 million worldwide against a production budget of $300 million. One of the main criticisms of the film was that it was too different from Zack Snyder's original vision for the film. Snyder had left the project during post-production due to a family tragedy, and Joss Whedon was brought in to finish the film.

Whedon made significant changes to Snyder's film, including reshooting much of the footage and changing the tone of the film. The result was a film that was much lighter in tone and more focused on action than Snyder's original vision. Fans of Snyder's work were disappointed with the film, and they began to campaign for the release of Snyder's original cut of the film.

The campaign, known as the Snyder Cut Movement, quickly gained traction online. Fans created petitions, organized protests, and used social media to spread the word about their cause. Warner Bros. initially resisted the campaign, but the pressure from fans eventually became too great to ignore.

In May 2020, Warner Bros. announced that Snyder's cut of Justice League would be released on HBO Max in 2021. The film, titled Zack Snyder's Justice League, was released on March 18, 2021, and was a critical and commercial success. The film grossed over $700 million worldwide and was praised by fans and critics alike.

The release of Zack Snyder's Justice League is a testament to the power of fan activism. The Snyder Cut Movement showed that fans can have a real impact on the entertainment industry. It also showed that studios are willing to listen to fans if they make enough noise.
