Comments by 3E1I5S8B9RF7:

  • Should Joss Whedon be credited as a co-director as well? Maybe he can be listed the same ways two people are listed as directors on the Superman II article.
  • Is there any information on how much of the movie Zack Snyder had already completed before his departure? Are we talking about half of the film, two third, three quarters... This would be a valuable information.
  • The "Critical response" section should be expanded a bit. Rotten Tomatoes gathered over 300 reviews for the film, yet only four reviewers are singled out in the article (Richard Roeper, Owen Gleiberman, Peter Travers, Todd McCarthy).
  • No mention of The Avengers, the 2012 film that is often compared to Justice League. I do not know if DC had an "all-star" movie plans before Marvel, yet it could be mentioned that The Avengers are seen as a precursor to Justice League.--3E1I5S8B9RF7 (talk) 12:49, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The director credit is based on who actually got credit. Donner did eventually get credit for "Superman". the DGA sets those parameters, so we wouldn't include Whedon in. The studio has come out and specifically said he didn't do enough to earn the credit, which is why he got a writing credit. He did quite a bit of re-shooting, but most of the film was already done. Snyder left at the start of post-production. I think that is noted in the article.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 15:26, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I know who officially got the credit, but this does not change the question as to who actually also co-directed and finished the movie. These websites[1][2], for instance, mention that some 80 to 85 percent of the movie was completed, until Whedon took over to reshoot the 15 to 20 percent of the finished film. While Snyder left during post-production, additional scenes were filmed after him. Even with reshoots, someone has to direct all this film crew. Maybe Whedon could be mentioned in the infobox, either under "co-director", or "uncredited reshoots" or "completed by".
I also hope you will address my other points, as well.--3E1I5S8B9RF7 (talk) 15:15, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While the original nominator was unresponsive, I have decided to correct some minor issues myself. The article is well written, its positive points prevail. I'm giving it a pass, accordingly.--3E1I5S8B9RF7 (talk) 16:23, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
