They couldn't wait. It is a business after all. So Joss Whedon came in, saw the Snyder cut and thought it was too dark and moody. He ordered reshoots and tried to make it more bright and funny like his Avengers movie. It was awkward, gross and made little to no sense. I'm glad Zack got the opportunity. He and Nolan are completely overlooked for their abilities and both are just trying to tell the stories they find interesting. The best thing we can do is continue to support them by going and seeing their movies. Execs will always act in their own self interests and not in the interests of fans.
