Just days before Warner Bros.' DC FanDome event began, director Andy Muschietti confirmedBen Affleck will reprise his role as Batmanopposite Ezra Miller inThe Flashfilm. Now, Ray Fisher claims the announcement was part of a publicity stunt on the part of Warner Bros. in response to his allegations regarding Joss Whedon’s behavior on the set ofJustice League.

AfterJustice Leaguecompleted production, director Zack Snyder left the project due to a personal family tragedy and Warner Bros. enlistedAvengersdirector Joss Whedon to oversee the film during the post-production phase. However, Whedon was later tasked with directing reshoots that significantly altered Snyder’s original version of theJustice League,prompting a three-year fan campaign to convince Warner Bros. to release the “Snyder Cut” after the theatrical edition debuted to mixed reviews and poor box office figures. Months after Zack Snyder announced his cut ofJustice Leaguewould be released on HBO Max in 2021, Ray Fisher, who portrayed Cyborg in the DC film, retracted his earlier praise for Whedon and accused former DC Films CEO Geoff Johns and producer Jon Berg of enabling the filmmaker’sabusive treatment of the cast and crewduring the aforementioned reshoots.

In response to Fisher’s allegations, Warner Bros. launched an investigation into the claim of abuse but lateraccused theJustice Leaguestar of being uncooperativewith the third-party investigator the studio had hired. Now, Fisher has taken to his official Twitter account to outline why he believes Warner Bros. allowed the original Vanity Fair report on Ben Affleck’s return to the role Batman to be published earlier than anticipated in hopes of shifting the focus away from his comment on the investigation. “Ben returning as Batman was clearly meant to be revealed at DC FanDome. I’ll give you one guess as to why [Warner Bros.] likely jumped the gun,” Fisher wrote in a post that included photos highlighting the timestamps of his Tweet on the investigation and the VF article, which was published just hours after his comments.

Just two days earlier, Fisher had accused the independent firm handling the investigation of avoiding key witnesses who had allegedly given damning statements to the Warner Bros. HR department. The “fake frosty” news Fisher mentions in his latest post refers to reports ofAquamanstar Jason Momoa portraying Frosty the Snowman in a live-action film about classic character. Momoa has beensupportive of Fisher during his disputewith Warner Bros. and even accused the studio of releasing the false news regarding Frosty as part of their efforts to distract from theJustice Leagueinvestigation.

There had been conflicting opinions on whether or not Warner Bros. should allow Zack Snyder to completehis version ofJustice League.That said,most felt the decision to release the original cut of the film would at least mean everyone could move on and leave Whedon’s edition in the past.

However, it seems the ongoing tension between Fisher and Warner Bros. means we are likely to hear about the behind-the-scenes turmoil during Whedon’s time ofJustice Leaguefor a while longer. At this time though, the conflict does not appear to be affecting Fisher’s role as Cyborg in Snyder’sJustice League, which appears to feature the DC hero in a more prominent role than the theatrical cut.

Zack Snyder’s Justice Leagueis scheduled to premiere on HBO Max in 2021.
