In 2020, Ray Fisher took to Twitter where he labeled Joss Whedon’s treatment of “Justice League’s” cast and crew “gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.” Fisher also claimed that former Warner Bros. executives Jon Berg and Geoff Johns had “enabled” Whedon’s bad behavior, though he did not further explain his accusations at the time. Per Variety, Whedon declined to comment. However, Berg told the outlet that Fisher’s allegations were “categorically untrue that we enabled any unprofessional behavior.” He further defended himself and provided context — telling Variety that Fisher was “upset that we wanted him to say ‘Booyaa,’ which is a well known saying of Cyborg in the animated series.”
But Fisher’s unhappiness didn’t come totally out of left field. Prior to the inflammatory tweet, he reposted a Twitter video of himself where he stated, “Joss is a great guy, and [director] Zack [Snyder] picked a good person to come in and clean up and finish up for him.” This time around, Fisher wrote, “I’d like to take a moment to forcefully retract every bit of this statement.” Yikes! A month later, Fisher made some shocking claims regarding Johns on Twitter. “During the LA reshoots for Justice League, Geoff Johns summoned me to his office to belittle and admonish my … attempts to take grievances up the proper chain of command. He then made a thinly veiled threat to my career. This behavior cannot continue,” he wrote.
