JUSTICE LEAGUE's Problems May Go Higher Than Zack Snyder or Joss Whedon

Justice League is now in theaters and most people will agree that the movie is less than perfect. A lot of that has to do with the fact that the film faced a lot of the internal problems by those involved with bringing Justice League to the screen. Zack Snyder's departure and the expensive rewrites and reshoots have been well-documented, and because of that the film has been dubbed the "Frankenstein project". But, now a new report from The Wrap brings to light some interesting information that might explain why the movie was rushed to release when it could have been pushed and ultimately been a much better movie.

One insider told The Wrap that few at Warner Bros. were actually happy with the finished film, and many believe that the decision not to push back the release date was by far the biggest mistake.

The Wrap's sources claim that WB CEO Kevin Tsujihara and President Toby Emmerich wanted to make sure the bonuses they would be paid before the huge $85 billion dollar deal between Time Warner and AT&T, went through. They were apparently worried that “if they pushed the movie, then their bonuses would have been pushed to the following year and they might not still be at the studio.”

If this is true, then it really dims the spotlight of responsibility on Snyder and Joss Whedon and moves it toward the WB executives, because it sounds like the Justice League's biggest downfall might be good, old-fashioned corporate greed.
