Weren't the MM scenes filmed back in 2017 though? If so then I still consider this his "cut" of the assembled footage that he shot. I never expected that it meant that he literally won *every* creative battle. What director (even those with final cut) can ever truly make that claim? Even without studio interference there's inevitably limitations to a director's vision based on budget, technology, scheduling conflicts, weird on-set mishaps, etc.
Yeah it?s his cut. I read the interview where Snyder talks about this.
He wanted to add GL, filmed the scene in 2017 and planned to add him in post-production.
WB said no. Snyder threatened to quit again. And then he made the choice to change his plans and add MM as a compromise so that fans could still get the movie.
Just like you said, it was a lost creative battle, but he still made the choice on his own to compromise and omit GL. He even said that it didn?t mean enough to him to quit over.
