While it wasn't as bad as reported nor as bad as it's reputation has become...
I highly doubt that there is anyone out there who feels passionately enough about it to start a cult status.
Which is part of the problem...it wasn't bad, but it also wasn't particularly good...better than BvS and Suicide Squad. Worse than WW. A close call with Man of Steel...

Joss Whedon saved it from being a garbage fire. Still a bad movie, though.

Of all the movies based on a DC published team of heroes it's the second best. Behind League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen and probably equal with Suicide Squad.

The "still a bad movie" parts were all Snyder in my opinion. It takes a special kind of person to look at Whedon's track record, then at Snyder's, then come to the conclusion that Whedon is somehow to blame? |

That was clearly him and was pretty awesome...though you know it would have gone over the line into violence porn without Joss controlling the final edit. But everything that gave the characters development or depth was clearly Joss. The biggest flaw overall was that WB clearly imposed a run time, so a lot of plot development was rushed. |

Not yet but theoretically, it could become one in the future.

A critical and financial failure that really wasn't that bad. You could even argue that it was judged extra harshly based on the brand's previous missteps. Now, don't get me wrong. The DCEU sucks ass. Cavill is garbage. Affleck sucks. Snyder fucked us all. The DCEU's an irreparable mess, an epic embarrassment, and a total affront to fans everywhere. But Justice League wasn't that bad. You could even argue that it's good. So...cult classic? It is that bad though. 
For me, it's the worst DCU movie.

Egh, I wouldn't think so. It's one of those middle of the road superhero movies that's not bad enough to be memorably terrible. But not good enough to be obsessively passionate about. BVS certainly has the makings of a cult film while MoS and SS have their fans (like myself).

Henry Cavill in every other role and in every interview, Instagram post and sound bite is one of the most charismatic upbeat performers you will ever find. He is an IDEAL Superman. Couldn't agree more. Snyder had a vision that was mildly interesting in Man of Steel, but was ultimately terrible. And he sent Cavill down the path to where he keeps getting blamed for stuff that isn't his fault. |

Since he was the last one to have his hands on the movie, and so publicly, then it is his fault. I've been hearing rumblings for a Lord and Miller Cut of Solo from an angry and loud few, also.

Nah. To become a cult classic you usually need a movie that a number of people loved despite being forgettable by the greater majority. Something like Watchmen, which had pretty low RT scores and horrible BO numbers but is still considered by quite a number as one of the best cbms out there. With JL, everyone is just meh. It isn't exactly a bad movie but almost nobody thinks it's great either. That's not a winning formula for a cult classic.

Aren’t guilty pleasures usually ‘so bad it’s good’ type movies? That doesn’t seem to be the overall consensus on JL. |

Guilty pleasures are usually movies that most don't like, but you like watching it and you know it's bad. Something like Super Mario Bros. or Batman & Robin would be considered a guilty pleasure. |

It takes a special kind of person to look at Whedon's track record, then at Snyder's, then come to the conclusion that Whedon is somehow to blame? OK, maybe I’m just a “special type of person,” but I much preferred BvS to nearly anything Whedon’s ever done. There’s something about Whedon and his filmmaking (and, I guess, television-making) that really, really turns me off. I’d love to see the supposed but probably non-existent “Synder cut.” |

No, but BvS might become one. It's just pretentious enough for its fans to go "auduences didn't get it at the time!!1", despite there being nothing to get beyond a couple of PHIL101 lines and an edgelord tone.
