Synopsis:

The Justice League: Ultimate Edition, aims to reinsert as much deleted footage from trailers, TV spots, promo material, behind the scenes featurettes, VFX Reels, Blu-Ray deleted scenes and a few fanedits to create the longest possible version of the Theatrical Cut. It's not anything too spectacularly different, but it's four minutes longer with almost 70 alternate, deleted, extended and new shots and scenes added to the running time. Everything has been painstakingly colour matched with the theatrical footage and rescored with the OST with added SFX where needed to fill gaps. This isn't any fancy Snyder Cut, but more of the movie you saw in cinemas with a few extra moments sprinkled throughout.

Intentions:

I wanted to create a longer version of the theatrical cut of the film as there is so much footage to play with and edit in. I didn't hate the theatrical cut, but it's very non-resonant. So I felt I needed to add some mayo to this dull sandwich, not making the sandwich superior at all but just making it a bit more substantial.

Additional Notes:

There are about 70 new bits and pieces scattered throughout the film. Some less than a second and just a few frames,with the longest being a minute long. They've all been colour corrected to match the film and had score or SFX added to make it all cohesive. DrDre's ColourMatch is a godsend for this kind of thing.
