The entire comic book film fandom is reeling over the latest bombshell Warner Bros. dropped this week concerning the legitimacy of the whole Snyder Cut campaign. The production company has accused the director of spearheading a bot-generated campaign that kickstarted following the release of Joss Whedon's theatrical cut of Justice League in 2017.
The report published by Rolling Stone raised a lot of eyebrows within the geek community and while others think the report's claims of the Snyder Cut campaign being fueled by bots and fake accounts are actually true, fans of the DC Extended Universe, especially Zack Snyder's avid followers can't help but question the motive behind the allegations.
On Twitter, fans expressed their outrage, saying that the whole Rolling Stone article is a blatant attempt on WB's part to sabotage the digital release of Zack Snyder's Justice League. Check out some of the reactions below:

Of course, it's hard to point fingers and jump to conclusions especially considering there's no evidence to back up the claims that WB is out to sabotage the whole Zack Snyder movement. And when you think about it, WB will still gain profit from the film's digital release and it would make no sense whatsoever for the studio to wreck its release.
However, the timing of the allegations does raise a lot of questions. One thing's for certain, it's definitely an indication that the company is ready to move forward with its own vision of the DCEU so don't expect the SnyderVerse to receive its "restoration".
That said, both versions of Zack Snyder's Justice League are streaming on HBO Max.
