he Honest Apology we want from Joss

 

I wanted to make this statement to offer my deepest and sincere apologies to those I have wronged in the past. I wanted to apologize to Ray, Gal, Jason, Ben, Ezra, and any innumerable number of other people I've hurt through my actions throughout my many years working on fine projects. I am now beginning to see the deep character flaws with which I have lived my life. I am seeking professional assistance to rehabilitate myself into the kind of person I would want to work for. I have wronged, hurt, and treated some very special people like crap and that makes me a piece of crap. That was reflected in the work I produced on Justice League. Zack Snyder's version is and was always the version we should have had. It was the version we needed and wanted; not my lackluster attempt to run my ego all over his masterpiece. I succumbed to an overwhelming amount of stress during that transition period and reacted very poorly. That is no excuse for my behavior. I wound up treating some of the most important people on these projects terribly as well as many of the people just as necessary in the making of these fine films. The project suffered because of my poor behavior and I am just glad that the movie itself was able to be redeemed by the person who should have always had it I fully understand his personal tragedies at the time and his need to pull away and be from his with his family, but the precious cargo that was laid in my hand was misused and mistreated by me. I apologize to all I have hurt. I have a long road ahead of me to become a better person.
