It's most likely a credit given to him due to his work on the previous Justice League movie he was helmed to do.

If true, I love what that says about Snyder.

On Rogue One's reshoots, I didn't know about it, but now I see why it turned out like that.

Splash Report's source also told them Affleck was in rehab weeks before it was publicly announced which is the big reason they are running with the story.
For me it's gotten to the point if I go there I just look at the author's name before reading an article. Some of the writers are trying too hard to get attention.

I will need a source on this, cuz I looked it up and couldn't find any credible information.
I'm generally pretty eager to dunk on Zack Snyder, but DC rumours are so unreliable because of how easy it is to get people to believe them. If other posters are right about the schedules not lining up for this to be accurate, then it's pretty easy to assume bullshit on this.
But if it is true, Zack Snyder is actually fucking finished if JL doesn't do well (told you I'm eager to dunk on him). In his career already he's got critical and commercial failures (not always both at the same time, which has probably earned him a stay of execution), but if these reshoots are really that extensive he will no longer be considered reliable by the studio to stay on-budget and on-schedule.
I guess the upside if this is true, is that Snyder has finally fucking realised you can't fix serious story problems and a bloated script in editing; which he did with MoS, and tried to do with BvS and somehow ended up with a near-incoherent 2 hour 30 minute movie. The problem is, he's finding this out three movies into a tentpole Hollywood franchise - when this should be something even a film student knows. The man is a hack who has inexplicably failed upwards, and unless he's exceptionally lucky will probably not be welcome at WB anymore, or any of the other major studios for that matter.

This was a well known fact for months and months before this 'insider' dropped a dime. This is the main reason he left The Batman. Supposedly ol' Kevin T was prepared to stand by Affleck but he wasn't prepared to risk The Batman for him.
All the Rogue One stuff is true. They reshot anything between 40-60% of the film last summer (at HUGE expense) to get it ready for it's Xmas release.

I mean, all DC movies have been critically mediocre since the Man Of Steel. This is people expecting more of the same.

No it did not and this is exactly what worries me about this. Suicide Squad was reshot and reeditted by the people that made the trailers lol and seriously hurt the film. There are tons of Joker scenes that were completely cut from the movie that could have altered the film greatly. We will never know of course if it was for the best or not though.
If Affleck ordered these rewrites/reshoots then theres a chance it was for the best. I just hope WB learned from their mistakes with Suicide Squad and didnt try and alter the movie's style. Justice League doesnt need to be like Guardians of the Galaxy, or any other Marvel movie. No wonder Affleck is starting to back away from Batman. I hope WB doesnt end up loosing him altogether now.

Article saids Ben ordered some of the Reshoot. Edit: actually he ordered re-writes when he appeared on set
Wonder what's going on. Could be true or fake, but WB has already done this so who knows

Guys. Do not let confirmation bias take over. Instead, let the last three films, their tumultuous production and re-shoots, their awful shit quality, and the various production trouble with the future DC films like Flash and the Batman remind you that Warner Bros just doesn't know what the hell they are doing with the DC properties.

I have to imagine this is gonna be his last one of these things. Dude can't seriously want to keep holding all these L's.
Yeah I knew about Miller and Mortal, but didn't think this would be connected to that directly. I just wasn't sure if it was something that had been reported on elsewhere/previously or not. So I guess he's probably not creatively involved, unless we hear it from a more credible source.

Lol that's nothing
The guy behind him makes it.
They need the hits Bobby. You can't blame em, especially when their audience eats it all up so easily.

I know.
The Dark Tower film just went through like 6 months of redoing the Special Effects. Whatever is going on with JL could have been exactly the same and just called reshoots in the article. We really wont know until someone comes out and talks about what has been going on. If anything, Afleck ordering the reshoots as soon as he got on set says alot about Snyder and the script lol.
Jup for example. Civil War in january 2016. Its normal. But like i said. Negative DCU create insane clicks. For a reason offcourse.

Yeah I guess if you ignore the fact that the last DC movie had this exact same rumor and it ended up being completely true.
Probably not. He's a middle-aged, recovering alcoholic divorcee. That's the look.
If theres even a 1 percent chance that that burger has three types of cheese then we have to eat it with absolute certainty.

I would love to just see the original version of any of these movies : (
Just let someone make a fucking movie and release it.

I would rather that the studio just puts out a singular vision and let the directors do what they want with the material for better or worse , and let the chips fall where they may. They seem to have no confidence in any of these properties and hack them to death, which only makes a bad problem even worse.
Then again I don't think BVS or squad would've been any better without completely different scripts anyway, starting from the ground up.

Ah yes, that critical and commercially successful dumpster fire that everyone and their mother is trying to imitate

Reshoots are pretty typical for summer blockbusters, and in a lot of cases (for instance, every Marvel movie) they're built into the production schedule from the start.
But the reshoots on, say, Rogue One and Suicide Squad are way outside the norm. It isn't normal to redo about half your movie in reshoots, as in the case of Rogue One. Or, if this rumor is true, it isn't normal to remake your movie twice in reshoots. That doesn't mean Justice League would be bad, if that were the case; Rogue One turned out pretty well (and, uh, SS less so). But reshoots often being normal doesn't mean ALL reshoots are normal.
