JUSTICE LEAGUE Director Zack Snyder's Vision Conflicted with DC Entertainment

Ever since the disappointing reception of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, rumors have been swirling of friction between Warner Bros. and director Zack Snyder.

Now, Vulture’s Abraham Riesman may have confirmed those rumors during an appearance on the Batman On Film podcast. While discussing his story for Vulture titled “DC Is Rethinking Its Cinematic Universe,” Riesman said he had a quote from DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson that didn’t make his story: 

‘We are a director-driven place. And Zack had a vision that didn’t necessarily sync up with what our vision of these characters is, but we respect that he wanted to go for that and that’s part of our philosophy.’ I’m paraphrasing there.”

Riesman said he was surprised that Nelson admitted that their visions weren’t in alignment. Although it is a little strange that DC Films gave Snyder three separate chances to make the movies he wanted but they’re just now admitting that the vision didn't sync with theirs.

Even though there are conflicting reports over what’s been changed on the Justice League movie since Joss Whedon took over, Synder is still credited as the lone director on the film. But, Whedon is getting credit for the film’s script as per WGA rules.

Justice League premieres in theaters on November 17.
