- TriviaWhen the film was shown in Iceland, which uses subtitles rather than dialog dubbing for films with non-Icelandic languages, Jason Momoa's pronunciation of his single line of Icelandic was so unintelligible that it had to be subtitled into Icelandic (often resulting in audience laughter).
- GoofsA powerful bomb that is about to destroy four "city blocks" from inside a bank, does not explode harmlessly just above the roof of that bank.

- Alternate versionsIn March 18, 2021, after almost four years of online petition and fan pressure, Warner Bros. released the original director's cut of Justice League, renamed Zack Snyder's Justice League. The cut was more than two hours longer than the theatrical version, including additional scenes, alternate takes, detailed expositions, more character backstory and even a different camera setup and musical score by Junkie XL. Also, the new version introduced characters that were cut from the theatrical version like Iris West (Kiersey Clemons), Antiope (Robin Wright), Ares (David Thewlis), King Arthur (Francis Mcgee) Martian Manhunter (Harry Lennix), DeSaad (Peter Guinness), Cyborg's mother Elinore (Karen Bryson), Ryan Choi (Zheng Kai) and Justice League's archenemy, Darkseid (Ray Porter). The cut was rated R for violence and language, unlike the theatrical version, which was PG-13.

This was another tortured production, with director Zack Snyder leaving the project either due to a death in the family or by the studio's insistence, depending on the source. Joss Whedon was brought on to finish the movie and ended up reshooting some earlier scenes. The final product seems rushed, under cooked, and dreadfully overloaded with too much unnecessary CGI effects. The common weakness in many of these superhero movies is the villain, and this is yet another example of that. The character is fully CGI and looks it, and it's difficult to feel menace from a cartoon in a non-animated movie. And the worst part is, it wasn't even needed, as the character was a normal human-looking person in the comic books, and the actor hired to basically just provide the voice, Ciaran Hinds, is a very good actor and would have been fine without the CGI embellishment. Another glaring visual flaw lies in Superman's mouth. Since the shoot ran over, Superman actor Henry Cavill was contractually obligated to start his filming on the upcoming Mission: Impossible film, a role that requires him to grow a bushy mustache. When he had to come back for reshoots on Justice League, the producers decided to just CGI out his mustache, with the end result a laughable, often deformed upper lip.
On the plus side, Ezra Miller is amusing as The Flash, Gal Gadot continues to look great as Wonder Woman, and Momoa makes for an interesting twist on Aquaman, who is nothing like his comic book counterpart. Many of the acting heavy-hitters, including Amy Adams, Diane Lane, and Jeremy Irons, are just cameo window dressing.
