They should've shit canned Snyder after man of steel. The idea itself was interesting but never went anywhere and turned into disaster/destruction porn after the first hour or so.
They made a massive mistake giving Snyder free run on bvs as that turned out to be a flaming turd. Not sure what they were expecting with JL.
Ideally Snyder never touches any of these properties ever again. He's consistently delivered poor results, and has yet to replicate the success of the Nolan films from a critical or box office standpoint. The only film close is Wonder Woman, and that's not his movie
I'm not sure what they ever saw in him. He's consistently delivered divisive films. Never read it, but have been told by multiple people the point of Watchmen was heroes are normal flawed people just like the rest of us. Didn't get that vibe in Snyder's adaptation of it. 300 was ok, but again, panel for panel adaptation. His own take on characters are horrible. Sucker Punch is one of the worst films I've heard of. Never watched it.
I think they'll continue on with the shared universe but it won't be strictly adhered to. Like, Wonder Woman is obviously in the same universe, but it's its own thing and not dependant. I hope Aquaman is like that. And from the looks of it based on early comments, Reeves is doing his own thing with Batman, saying it's the same Batman but keeping the movie contained in its own world.
I think that's what's best for DC. Make good to great standalone films for a handful of years and actually build towards something. And when the timing is right and the stories make sense, bring the league back.
I'm hoping we get to see the Superman from the end of this film in his own go around. I know Matthew Vaughn wanted to do a sequel. Hopefully it's what we get. I love Cavill and I loved him in JL.
