When my ex picked up the kids yesterday she said she had just seen Justice League and was very confused as to why Henry Cavill's face was CG and wondered whether he had died before he could film his scenes. LOL! Way to go WB, have your actual living actors who are playing themselves at their current age look no better than RO Tarkin and Leia.
I thought that people who were oblivious to the mustache ordeal might not even notice but I guess not.

No, I told her about the mustache and how there were two directors and that Zack's scenes were the ones that looked better but then she went off about why would anyone want to see Batman with Affleck's "stupid fat head" so I just left it at that and we said our goodbyes, lol.

How many Superman scenes did Whedon reshoot/add?

I have never been motivated to click a link for that woman's videos, no matter how many times they get posted here.
“You know I mod a toy board, right?”
Honestly the entire JL production is like a story from "Fargo" where bad decisions made by idiots are covered up with even worse decisions until the entire thing is an unmitigated disaster. I mean yeah I "enjoyed" it for my one viewing but only just barely and when you consider what it could have and should have been...
I guess WB blew their facial visual effects budget on BR 2049 Rachael and had nothing left for Cavill.

"Deuces." I'll have to remember that.
I think he redid all of them

Yup, I believe only part of the farm scene and most of the resurrection are Snyde's.

So they had to CGI the moustache out for most of his scenes? Some of it looked OK.

I only clicked because I figures if I was going to photoshop her I might as well have a vague idea who she is. She’s got a rubberneck kind of appeal, which I’m ashamed to say I found amusing.
That's because there is absolutely nothing to warrant watching any of that woman's videos. Time would be better spent watching paint dry.
Do you think this really could have been much better? I think it could have been equally good/bad, but in a totally different way, if Snyder was left to his own devices. But I can't see a scenario where this film really was going to be great. Even when the DC universe started out, pre-Man of Steel's release, they were already going down the wrong path, which many of us saw from the get-go. I think Wonder Woman is really the ceiling for WB at this point, until and unless they jettison all traces of Snyder, and get the suits out of the editing room.
I think Suicide Squad could have been decent, before the producers started ****ing around. Man of Steel, BvS, and this were doomed from the get-go in some respects. Snyder just is not a good creative mind. That's something I've said for many years. He should be directing music videos, trailers, and action scenes here and there. Nothing more than that. If you bring in Terrio and Whedon to do the crown molding on a house built on Snyder's foundation, there's only so much you can do.
DC had an opportunity to try something really different from Marvel Studios, and initially that was what they attempted, but it was done badly, and ultimately they wouldn't go all-in, so we end up with a mis-mash of bad to forgettable movies, with only one film so far even worth watching more than once.
Yes when I said "could of and should have been" I was thinking more of what this film could have been had they taken a different approach from the ground up. I agree that had they simply left Snyder to his own devices then I can't imagine we'd have gotten anything much "better" though I suppose if they had let him do that alleged two-parter with the second film being about the JL fighting Darkseid in that "Knightmare" landscape then at least the visuals would have been off the charts awesome instead of the laughable green screen/CG Cavill we got on account of the reshoots.
As it stands even the poor MOS/BvS fans have yet another trilogy that went oddly sideways with the third film like with Nolan Bats, Raimi Spidey, and many others. LOTR will always be one of the rarest of things; a trilogy where the third act didn't suck.
That being said I still think that if you allow yourself to see JL as a soft reboot of what came before and take it as the "live-action cartoon" that some of us have equated it to then it can still be enjoyed on that level alone.

I actually find more to be enjoyed from watching B&R than JL.
I think there was a logical progression over the three films. Man of Steel seems like the most purely Snyder-esque of the three. BvS seems to have started that way, but Wonder Woman, the bad jokes, and the whole scene with Doomsday seem like studio interference. Didn't he initially want Batman raped there? At least he got to keep his Jimmy Olson death scene and visionary interpretation of Luthor. . .
With JL, the studio interference reached a high point, bolstered by their (financial) success after interfering heavily with Suicide Squad, and seeing that Wonder Woman defied expectations by playing it like a pretty conventional, crowd-pleasing, dare I say Marvel Studios-type superhero film. When Whedon left for personal reasons, they were allowed even more leeway to take the reigns and run with it, inserting Whedon to do a smattering of pseudo-comedic bits like, I'm sure, the scene with Superman racing Flash.
One running theme in all of the films is an attempt to overcompensate for a previous deficiency. In Man of Steel, it was criticism of Superman Returns--not enough of two super human monsters punching each other through buildings. In BvS, it was--not enough of a focus on civilians. In JL, it was--too much Snyder, not enough Feige.
But surely, this one stands out from the crowd as the most different. And I like it more because if it, while also respecting it less

Yes think of how awesome JL would have been if Steppenwolf was voiced by Arnold:
"Can you be cold, Hopeman? You have eleven minutes to thaw a bat. What will you do? Chase the Flash or save the Russian family? Your father's advice makes you weak. That's why this day is mine!"
