The answer probably lies somewhere in the middle. TEXT: Rumors emerged earlier this year suggesting Snyder had actually been fired after delivering an ‘unwatchable‘ first cut of Justice League. This isn’t the case according to Jim Lee, DC Entertainment’s Co-Publisher. Lee recently appeared at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo, and according to a breakdown of the panel from Reddit (via CBR), Lee insisted in response to a fan question that Snyder chose to step away from the project to be with his family. Following the release of Justice League, fans of the director have insisted Warner Bros release his original cut of the movie. Some substantial changes were made to the narrative when Joss Whedon took over, including almost every scene involving Superman; this can clearly be seen from the distracting CG used to cover actor Henry Cavill’s mustache in most of his scenes. Reports vary on just how complete Snyder’s cut was but given the fact the movie is currently the lowest-grossing of the DCEU the studio is unlikely to want to revisit it in the near future. That said, Snyder himself seems to be actively fanning the flames for his cut of Justice League, posting images from deleted scenes and answering fan queries on his Vero account. Storyboard artist Jay Oliva recently revealed the filmmaker had a five-movie arc in mind, with his cut of Justice League being the third entry. His vision for the DCEU is almost certainly scrapped now, however, with the studio focusing on other projects including Birds Of Prey and the untitled Joker movie. It’s also been suggested Warner Bros want to extend Henry Cavill’s contract, and have Superman be a connective character throughout their future movies. screenrant.com/jim-lee-justice-league-zack-snyder-fired/ |

Five movie arc, eh. This JL movie was originally split. First probably would have all been resurrecting Superman and fighting him, and the second about Steppenwolf, leading into Darkseid for movie 5. Meh.
I don't believe they fired him, but they probably weren't too heartbroken to trade up for Whedon.

Especially with a looming merger on the horizon that didn't guarantee jobs. |

They just waited for the opportunity. Also, if he wasn't fired, he wouldn't have made such a big stink against WB later on. This just sounds like Superman 2 all over again. |

If he was fired, he would be the executive producer of Aquaman and producer of Wonder Woman 2 which hasn’t started filming yet. My guess is he will still have a say in the DCEU

Snyder is popular with certain fans. It would do them no good to trash him.
But the word was there is no finished version of Snyder's film-scenes were not completed so to release it they would have to spend more money.
He never got Supes right & that has probably been their biggest problem in getting the DCEU off the ground.
