How to watch Zack Snyder’s Justice League in Australia

In the US, Zack Snyder's Justice League launched on the streaming service Max (known at the time as HBO Max.) Streaming Max in Australia used to be a pain in the neck, a complicated process that involved a VPN and online gift cards. Thankfully, the streaming service Max has officially launched in Australia since then and is now the premiere destination for streaming DC, Warner Bros. and HBO content locally. In fact, it's currently the only place you can stream Zack Snyder's The Justice League on-demand in Australia, now that it's left Binge and Foxtel Now. 

Binge and Foxtel still have the theatrical cut of Justice League but if you want Zack Snyder's unsullied cut, you'll have to fork out for Max. Thankfully, it's not too hard to find a deal on Max. 

When it first released in 2021, Binge and Foxtel were your only two options for streaming Zack Snyder's Justice League on-demand in Australia. It was a big win for Binge at the time, a streaming service that had only recently launched itself but ever since Warner Bros. Discovery released its streaming app Max in Australia, Binge has been losing a lot of HBO and DC content, including Zack Snyder's Justice League. 

At the time of updating this article, Zack Snyder's Justice League is streaming on-demand exclusively on Max. 

Here in Australia, Max plans start at $11.99 per month for the ad-supported Max Basic with Ads plan. That offers High Definition 1080p streaming on two devices at once. If you can't handle the thought of ads interrupting all four hours of Zack Snyder's Justice League, you'll be paying $15.99 per month for Max Standard, which offers the same features of Basic without the ad breaks. If you want to stream it in 4K Ultra High Definition, Max Premium will give you four streams and Dolby Atmos audio at $21.99 per month. 

The story behind 2017's Justice League has become something of a legend in recent years. It was one of the most expensive films ever made, but released to mediocre reviews and consequently became a box office bomb. The production suffered a number of blows, including the appointment of Joss Whedon to replace the film's original director, Zack Snyder, who sadly lost his daughter to suicide during production.

As a result, the final product was completely different from Snyder's original vision, with Whedon following directives from Warner Bros. to cut the movie's runtime and make the tone brighter and more humorous. In response, fans began campaign Warner Bros. to release Zack Snyder's Justice League director's cut in the hope that it would be a more cohesive and fully-realised film.

After years of dismissing the idea of releasing the director's cut as a "pipe dream," it appears Warner Bros. has finally come around, with the official Zack Snyder's Justice League set to drop in March. Most of the film's cast, including Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Ray Fisher, Ezra Miller, and Jason Momoa agreed to take part in reshoots, which, together with new special effects, editing and a new music score, cost a total of $70 million.

Originally planned to be released as a four-part miniseries, it instead dropped as a four-hour movie on March 18, 2020.
