I'd say they could go ahead and try out some sort of Batman Beyond storyline but that would require having Affleck stay on as the older Bats. I guess they could kill off Affleck's Wayne and just have Alfred find some young talent to take over the Bat mantle. [Reply]

yeah are you fucking kidding me.. Flashpoint? Seriously? That's the big bang they're going to have him go out with? JFC. Should have given him a proper send off and let the rightful heir to the cowl taken over. Anyone who isn't Bruce, Damian, or Grayson would be a fucking joke [Reply]

Warner Bros. planning to restructure DC Films division...
...The decision for restructuring comes after*Justice League*has brought in just $572 million worldwide, making it the lowest grossing film in the DCEU by almost $100 million. Troubles on*Justice League*first began as an early cut of the film by Zack Snyder was screened for studio executives (which we now know*DID feature the famous black suit for Superman) who were reportedly alarmed by its dark tone, which had been a major criticism of*Man of Steel*and*Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice...

Reportedly Snyder’s vision for the villain Steppenwolf was recognized as “faulty” by studio executives, but only so much could be fixed during the reshoots overseen by Joss Whedon.
Variety says there are no immediate plans for Snyder to direct another DC movie, and the outlet notes that Time Warner—Warner Bros.’ parent company—“is said to be frustrated that Warner Bros. leaders continued to bring the director back.” So while Snyder maintains a production deal with the studio as he develops The Last Photograph, I wouldn’t necessarily expect him to return to the DCEU anytime soon. ...
How about you just pick a fucking direction and fucking stick with it? Part of the issue that they've had is that they get a movie half way done and then they change directions on it. [Reply]

I'm not sure why you'd want to keep anything they've done so far.
Bad writing
Bad choice of going too dark
Bad use of Superman
Bad Villains (how used and/or implemented)
Bad storylines ("Your mommy's name is Martha, too?", wasting the death of Superman early on in the timeline)
Really, what's there to hang onto, outside of the WW movie? [Reply]

I think the point was Studio interference, The re shoots in Justice League and Suicide squad indicates WB is too panicky and reacting too much to what Marvel and Disney are doing.
Pick a director and back him dont ask Zach Snyder to crush 4 films into 2. [Reply]
