We're currently in the Golden Age of superhero blockbusters. Movies like Black Panther, Wonder Woman, Joker, and Avengers: Endgame routinely break box office records and compete for Oscars. Yet, Zack Snyder's 2017 behemoth Justice League--a veritable sure bet at the Hollywood casino--tanked miserably, and the behind-the-scenes reasons for the movie's demise are fascinating. The true story behind Justice League's failure is only half of the juicy narrative, though. Snyder--who left the project months before filming concluded--aggressively fanned the flames that surrounded the rumor of a "Snyder Cut" of the film. This is the version of the story he wanted to tell before the studio, Warner Bros., pulled him off of the project. Hence, the "Snyder Cut."

Additionally, an army of passionate DC and Snyder fans remained committed to getting the "Cut" released. They went to incredible lengths to fight for the movie's opening, and have found strength, support, and charitable goals in their global "family" of Snyder Cut supporters. Their stories are remarkable, and the book is just as much about the dedicated fans who make up the Snyder Cut movement as it is about the upcoming film. Release the Snyder Cut is an entertaining, investigative, and emotional recap of 2017's failed Justice League movie, followed closely by a breakdown of the exhaustive efforts by a dedicated fan base to unearth director Zack Snyder's unfinished version, to which they feel they are entitled. This passionate army of Snyder fans already have gone to incredible lengths to fight for the movie's eventual opening, and have found tremendous strength, support, and charitable goals in their "family" of Snyder Cut supporters.
