One of the most-discussed--and mocked--aspects of the theatrical version of Justice League was Superman actor Henry Cavill's digitally-changed top lip. Now the movie's original director, Zack Snyder, had commented on this notorious alteration.

　　Like all the Justice League cast, in 2017 Cavill was recalled for reshoots on Justice League after Snyder was replaced as director by Joss Whedon. Unfortunately, Cavill was also shooting Mission Impossible: Fallout at the time, in which he has a prominent mustache, meaning that the 'stache had to be removed digitally in post-production. The results were not exactly convincing, to say the least.

　　Now Playing: Justice League Snyder Cut VS Original: 23 Biggest Changes

　　Snyder's new version of Justice League hit HBO Max last week, with Cavill's altered lip now thankfully now entirely absent. In an interview with MTV, Snyder was asked about the 'stache controversy. While Snyder has never watched the theatrical version of Justice League, he did state that he had seen the dubious CGI in memes and was very happy that it isn't what Cavill will now be remembered for.

　　"It was funny because part of me was happy we were able to have that not be the total legacy of the hard work that [Cavill] had done over the last 10 years," he said. "It's sad to think that that would have been the last view that people had of Superman, was just that... whatever that is."

　　As for Cavill, back in 2018, he posted an emotional farewell when it was finally time to bid farewell to the "kingstache."

　　In related news, Snyder has revealed that there's a black and white version of the new Justice League on the way. The movie is titled Zack Snyder's Justice League: Justice is Gray, and it will also debut on HBO Max. Snyder has teased that it might contain some different footage to the version released last week, including an alternate version of the Joker scene.
