Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Affleck said the film’s problems were compounded by personal circumstances and the tragedy that led Snyder to step away during post-production. “The truth is, the experience of Justice League was so, so negative for lots of different reasons,” Affleck said, adding that the production showed him what could go wrong when a studio and its filmmaker were at odds.
