'Justice is Gray' is the colored-desaturated version of Zack Snyder's Justice League, a superhero film directed by Zack Snyder which has a 4-hour-long runtime. The Gray Edition strips the movie off its vibrant colors, presenting it in grim monochrome shades. The plot follows Bruce Wayne (Batman) who, in light of Superman's ultimate sacrifice, enlists new allies to face an even greater foe. Together, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash must stop a pending doom from powerful entities in a formidable, doubled-fueled battle of Justice.
