As for Joss' involvement, wow...recently we've been talking about wanting to see SOMETHING from Joss and now we'll be seeing a Justice League movie that Joss wrote/directed some scenes for, in November! Obviously his influence might not be very heavy given that the film has been in production for so long. Still, this makes me WAY more excited for JL than I was before...which was not at all ;)
Regardless, very awful circumstances.

"Snyder, after screening a rough cut of Justice League for fellow filmmakers and friends, wanted to add additional scenes, so he brought Whedon on board to write them. But as he prepared to shoot the scenes in England, Snyder realized it was not the time to leave home."
So, the scenes Joss wrote would have been part of the film regardless. Snyder just would have shot/filmed them-- whereas now Joss is.

The way I read this was that Snyder wanted extra material, but didn't have the time or mindset to write it himself. I don't think - and I might obviously be wrong, and it doesn't matter anyway, because much more important things have been going on - that Whedon would've gotten involved had Snyder been able to work. The only exception would be if those scenes included the character of Batgirl. The phrasing of the article doesn't suggest this, though.

So once again, props to joss for being willing to jump in like that and take over responsibility.

On a lighter note, I am very much looking forward to the now ever so slightly elevated prospects for "JLA vs Avengers" in 2022!
