While promoting his latest film The Way Back, Ben Affleck spoke to CinemaBlend and explained why he tweeted the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut hashtag last November.
Quote from: Ben Affleck
I didn't know about it. Zack was like, 'Hey, they are doing this thing.' And I said, 'Zack, I love you, and I support you. However I can help you.' I do think that movie, you know, having two directors is a very weird thing. And for Justice League, the director had a family tragedy...and so you have a kind of cow's body with a horse's head a little bit with two directors a lot of times, for better or for worse. I do think Zack's cut should be available.

"cow's body with a horse's head"...that analogy might be a bit diplomatic under the circumstances, but it's still a good way of describing Whedon's interference with what was meant to be Snyder's film.
As time goes on, I think Warner Butchers have no idea how much this ordeal is hurting their brand. Even worse, they might not even care.
In the meantime, Snyder uploaded this portrait of the Knightmare Batman to pay tribute to Affleck; who spoke publicly about how his personal problems and JL's troubled production had an impact on him the other day.

Great costume. It turns out there is more Knightmare footage in Snyder's JL too.
