Justice League: 11 Final Concerns

1. Will There Be A Superior Director's Cut?

Considering that Justice League has had one hell of a rickety production, it wouldn't be remotely surprising if a longer version showed up on home video, especially given the studio-mandated runtime and the fact that Batman v Superman's Ultimate Edition added a significant amount of material.

It's hard to believe the original vision for the movie clocked in at a mere two hours, so while Warner Bros. hasn't yet confirmed anything, don't be shocked if they announce an Ultimate Cut a few weeks after the film has annihilated the box office.

While an Extended Edition isn't inherently a bad thing, it will effectively underline that scissor-happy studio executives once again had too much control over the theatrical cut, forcing fans to pay twice to see the "true" vision of the movie.

If that's not cynical exploitation of a fanbase, what is? But at the same time, it's possible that the film's messy production means that what you see is what you get, and usable cutting room material amounts to nothing more than a few scattered deleted scenes.

What are you most worried about ahead of Justice League's release? Shout it out in the comments!
