Here's my widescreen 1.78:1 aspect ratio version of Zack Snyder's Justice League.

The composition of each shot, nearly 3.200 of them, was meticulously redone one by one without introducing in-shot artificial panning as the movie was originally intended to be matted to 1.85:1 anyway. Why not making it 1.85:1, you'll ask me? Well, 1.85:1 and 1.78:1 are very close to each other, plus 1.78:1 fills your 16:9 screen at home and can still be soft matted to 1.85:1 in some players such as VLC and some projectors can add mattes on the top and on the bottom as well. The source used was the UHD. The two discs were glued together, removing the indication that "Justice continues on disc 2", plus a few seconds of black screen were cut out between the two parts so the title screen of chapter 5 doesn't feel too different compared to the others. The color grading was made in Rec.709 and mimicks the official one as seen on the Blu-ray 1080p. The only liberty taken was the squishing of 8 shots during the Superman/Flash face-off where the VFX mostly already made for the theatrical release probably didn't fill the 1.33:1 AR which lead to a bit of cropping and stretching resulting in weird thin figures for our characters. When aiming for a widescreen aspect ratio, there was no reason not to squish those shots back to more proper proportions.
