I would certainly buy it, there appears to be more of a potential cut than first thought.
Only downside for the bean counters at WB will be that they'll have a hard time claiming to their employees that they didn't make money off of this because they spent too much.
With all the clamoring for the Snyder Cut, it would be quite embarrassing if it turned out to be an even bigger mess than the theatrical cut. By all accounts, it seems it was a very compromised film from the start because everybody had to rethink things on such short notice after the backlash of BVS. So for all the talk about "Snyder's vision", we'll never truly get it unfiltered the way BVS was.
Fascinating, isn't it, that BATMAN, THE DARK KNIGHT and JOKER were big hits and all had the Joker in them, whereas SUICIDE SQUAD took some beating, primarily over the Joker being given so little to do and being either underdeveloped or "incorrectly" developed. I honestly feel sorry for Jared Leto.
RE JL:
I always welcome a longer Snyder cut but I agree with @MakeshiftPython that such a cut may simply not exist.

Phillips will also work on another DC villain solo film, alongside his Joker sequel. Lex Luthor? The Penguin? Mr Freeze?
How about Mudface?
You mean Clayface?
Yes, him.
I always wanted him to be on the big screen at some point the original story of an actor going insane because they are trying to remake his classic film is really appropriate for the times

Although the idea of say Val Kilmer coming back as Wild cat would be a nice in joke
Yeah, I think it's safe to say they dropped that altogether. Aquaman was pretty much treated as a standalone film with little ties to what came before. Matt Reeves' Batman film by all accounts seems to have zero connection with the DCEU. Patty Jenkins has been given free reign of Wonder Woman.
The real sad losses are Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck. I feel Cavill got the raw deal having to work under Zack Snyder's conception of a brooding Superman. The guy can be really fun and charismatic when given the right material, instead we got a guy who comes off as if saving the world is more of a burden than a gift.
I don't blame Affleck for leaving. He already had a string of critical bombs over a decade ago that he successfully recovered from by doing more critically lauded work like THE TOWN and ARGO, and doesn't want to potentially tarnish that with critical duds. I wish he had stuck to his standalone film that he would have written and directed, but this is his career so he's earned the right to be picky.
Casting wise, it seems like a 4 way fight between
- Matt Reeves' The Batman: Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Andy Serkis, Paul Dano, Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Wright, John Turtorro & Jayme Lawson.
- Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Rebecca Ferguson, Timothée Chalamet, Jason Momoa, Zendaya, Dave Bautista, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgard, Oscar Isaac, Javer Bardem, Charlotte Rampling & David Dastmalchian.
- Guillermo Del Toro's Nightmare Alley: Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Bradley Cooper, Willem Dafoe, Rooney Mara, Holt McCallany, Ron Perlman, David Strathairn & Richard Jenkins.
- Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch: Timothée Chalamet, Lea Seydoux, Alex Lawther, Elisabeth Moss, Saoirse Ronan, Kate Winslet, Willem Dafoe, Tilda Swinton, Benicio Del Toro, Bill Murray, Christoph Waltz, Adrian Brody, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Denis Menochet, Bob Balaban, Rupert Friend, Jeffrey Wright, Frances McDormand, Henry Winkler, Fisher Stevens & Mathieu Amalric.
On Monday (because I am inbetween jobs sadly) I plan on watch BVS I will say it’s a shame Affleck didnt do his solo film and weird that he was my favorite live action Batman in spite of never getting a solo film (though he did take on more villains through out his films then say Keaton as he took on Joker, Harly Quinn, Deadshot and KGBeast)
I hear Affleck’s story was brilliant but WB got scared because there wasn’t enough action... one day my guess is it will be done as a comic book hopefully (speaking of which weren’t we going to get Schumacher’s third film as a comic book there were rumors of that a year or so ago)
I just feel with the 2 Adam west cartoons WB should be more willing to experiment and give us Keaton’s third film as animated feature and hell I would take Affleck’s film as a comic book

I wonder who paid for Snyder finishing his version?
Great stuff looking forward to seeing a film closer to Snyders vision, though I don't discount the possibility this could be underwhelming, fingers crossed its good and there is the semblance of a complete film.
The theatrical version of Justice League is not the sequel to BvS I wanted.
First of they need to fix mustache gate, otherwise don't bother.
I’ve just been at a screening/Q&A with Todd Phillips, he stated that he isn’t doing a sequel. However, he also said that a well known director did sell him on the idea he’s only made the 1st act, so perhaps he will go back there...
oooooh what could have been?!!!!
I will be happy to see all unreleased footage in whatever form it takes
Put into context...
Plus, Mera and Vulko...
