Justice League Rated PG-13; Zack Snyder Only Credited Director

Justice Leaguehas been formally rate PG-13 , and it ’s also been confirmed Zack Snyder will indeed receive sole directing cite on the DC superhero team - up blockbuster .

Justice League is the follow-up to Snyder’sBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justice , and visualize Batman and Wonder Woman form an alliance with Aquaman , The Flash , and Cyborg to take on Steppenwolf , an foreign warlord who ’s come to stamp down Earth in the wake of Superman ’s death . An fantastically significant film for DC ’s burgeon shared cinematic cosmos ( but do n’t call it the DC Extended Universe),Justice Leagueendured a troubled yield , as director Zack Snyder depart the motion picture ’s production in May come after the tragical destruction of his girl . Avengersdirector Joss Whedon - whom Snyder had already brought on board to fine tune the script - took over directorial duties , overseeing the picture ’s reshoots and post - production . Rumors have swirled for months over how much of the film Whedon was alter , and if the changes were so substantial that perhaps he and Snyder would share directorial quotation .

It seems that ’s not the grammatical case . Justice League’sofficial websitehas Snyder heel as the picture ’s only music director . It also reassert the film ’s rating , which to the surprisal of no one is PG-13 . The PG-13 rating has basically become the default for wide button , big budget blockbuster , assure more visceral thrills than the children - leaning PG rating , and promising parent it wo n’t feature the vivid wildness and sexual practice of an universal gas constant valuation .

But the real newsworthiness here is Snyder ’s credit , and Whedon ’s want of one . This really should n’t be a surprisal . establish the unfortunate personal circumstances , it seems unlikely Whedon - who ’s been uncharacteristically subdued about his participation with the celluloid - would even want the credit . And even if he did , the DGA ’s rules would have made that a difficult prospect .

Still , it seems unlikely this will end debate over whose filmJustice Leaguereally is . Gal Gadot has downplayed Whedon ’s involvement , while Ben Affleck has suggestedthe motion picture is a genuine product of two directors . Whedon is still credited as a co - author of the film ’s screenplay , so his share is being acknowledged , though perhaps not on a scale commensurate to the work he ’s put in . It ’s entirely possible we ’ll never really do it how much each humanity contributed to the moving picture , but it ’s clear at this point that virtually everyone involve is sending the same message : Justice Leagueis Zack Snyder ’s picture show .
