The DC universe has been around since the 60s competing with Marvel the difference was that DC exceeded on the small screen and Marvel took over the big screen. Both universes have a great set of heroes that have impacted pop culture in many media. Oddly enough DC was well known on TV than movies with Batman and Superman having their own animated series in the 90s. These days they tried having live action TV shows focused on little parts of the comics. Marvel may have created the MCU over the last decade but DC tried the same thing on TV both with the CW's Arrowverse and the 52 comics animated film series. DC has released its own stand alone film series like the Batman trilogy one of the most impactful set of movies to this day. In the mid 2010s Warner Bros decided to have their own filmverse like the MCU trying to create their own timeline. It worked in a way they had successful films like Wonder Woman decent films like Shazam and dumpster fires like Suicide Squad. After having the two film timeline they announced the first live action Justice League movie which got the public excited. Since the JL was one of the most popular hero teams in pop culture and the ending of the Batman VS Superman had a shocking cliffhanger people were expecting a comeback. After it came out audiences were disappointed because it was rushed too many plot holes and an unoriginal story. The movie was met with bad reviews and parodied by the Nostalgia Critic for being a terrible mess. the damage was mended by its follow ups Aquaman and Shazam but it still stained the timeline. Zack Snyder decided to fix this by releasing a director's cut of the movie. This meant that the movie was cleaned up in the original way that Snyder wanted it to be made. This gave the movie an R rating with nearly four hours of content including new scenes a more well developed plot and an entertaining watch. This included a bit more backstory on each hero, the introduction of Darkseid and an epic epilogue featuring Martian Manhunter, Deathstroke and Joker making his second appearance. The stain has been cleaned and a new team has been made sit back and watch the Justice League come together at last.
