HBO Max has launched another version of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. This latest version of the movie is entirely black-and-white “Justice Is Gray,” the latest version of the four-hour film is entirely in black and white.
Launching a week after the original film arrived to the streaming service, Snyder’s colorless superhero flick was something we knew was coming down the line, we just didn’t know it would arrive this quickly. Back in February, Snyder revealed that there would be multiple versions of Justice League, saying, “For me, it’s my favorite version of the movie. I understand that people want to see it in color, and that’s great, and I really want them to enjoy it in color. But for me, the ultimate version is the black and white IMAX version of the movie, which is sort of the penultimate ridiculous movie that shouldn’t exist at its highest most fetishistic level, and I really, really love that.”
Snyder also explained that he wasn’t sure when it would arrive to the streaming service, but to everyone’s surprise, the wait time was only one week after the release of the full color one.
The director of the recut movie didn’t take a cut himself for his work on the reshoots, which cost $70 million. “I’m not getting paid,” Snyder said. “I didn’t want to be beholden to anyone, and it allowed me to keep my negotiation powers.”

While the Snyder Cut of Justice League now lives in the wild, there’s no real talk of Snyder doing a future DC movie at this time or a sequel to JL. However, if Snyder were to continue his story of the superhero team, the next arc would feature the New Gods. “All of the New Gods would be rolling in at some point,” explained Snyder. “In the full invasion of Earth… I think you’d have to go full pedal-to-the-metal with the New Gods at that point. ‘Cause the third movie is a New Gods invasion movie in a lot of ways.”
Considering that Snyder is so open to talking about future storylines, that doesn’t leave a lot of hope for a sequel. However, you can watch the color and black and white versions of Zack Snyder’s Justice League–or the Joss Whedon theatrical cut–on HBO Max right now.
