Original First Post, Revised September 2018
Yes, another cut of Justice League, but this one is different. This one just aims to insert as much of the deleted material as possible. This isn't some faux "Snyder Cut" or a radical retooling of the film, its just a longer version of the film you saw in cinemas. And I'm sure the name "Ultimate Edition" has already been used, but I can't think of a better name and it matches with the BvS cut.
SOURCES
Barry meeting Bruce is the one scene with the most added back in, with 6 new and extended shots and lines.
Here is the new scene of them getting ready, a scene that was in the Ultimate Fan Edition as well
The edit is mostly done, it just needs some tinkering here and there. It only runs for about 2 and a half minutes longer than the theatrical cut, most of that time being taken up by the BR Superman scenes.

Updated First Post, June 2020
The newest version of the Justice League: Ultimate Edition, aims to reinsert as much deleted footage from trailers, TV spots, promo material, behind the scenes featurettes, Blu-Ray deleted scenes and a few fanedits to create the longest possible version of the Theatrical Cut. It's not anything too spectacularly different, but it's four minutes longer with over 50 alternate, deleted, extended and new shots and scenes added to the running time. Everything has been painstakingly colour matched with the theatrical footage and rescored with the OST with added SFX where needed to fill gaps. This isn't any fancy Snyder Cut, but more of the movie you saw in cinemas with a few extra moments spinkled throughout.
