No diss to Snyder himself, but I feel like he didn't want to lean into the joyful and hopeful side of Kal-El nearly as much as others did.

And still no "anchor" to the phase, like the MCU does with Avengers movies. These mainline DCU movies still appear to be aimless, just as they have been since 2019, building towards nothing.

I collect autographs from actors and musicians I like, mostly horror related ones, but I won this in an auction! Ray’s performance is probably my favorite part of ZSJL so this is a big win for me.

For those unfamiliar, De Luca and Abdy are the heads of WB Pictures. They also ran DC films for a bit in late 2022, after Walter Hamada's exit. They brought Henry Cavill back and started developing a Man of Steel 2 with a treatment a script by Steven Knight. They were starting out looking like the most sensible leadership DC films had since they canned Greg Silverman in 2016. That is, until James Gunn and Peter Safran took over and immediately went back to what Hamada was doing. Snyder also said they are great people who have been wonderful to him when it came to the FullCircle event (SnyderCon).

Releasing the Ayer Cut would definitely be in the company's best interest. The further they get away from the house Snyder built, the more their brand falls in the toilet. Ayer's Suicide Squad would sell both physical media and Max subs, especially now that they no longer have new movies to make exclusive to Max. ZSJL already outsold The Suicide Squad, a brand new theatrical movie, on physical media. Fans like the Snyderverse and hate the comedic tone for the recent DCEU movies. The Ayer Cut would be a return to the tone DC fans like that made huge profits, not the current movies which have lost money several times in a row now.

It’s a theory I read online some years ago and it did appeal to me. The Snyderverse Joker may actually be Dick Grayson. We know the Joker ‘killed’ a Robin (Dick) but perhaps Dick was horribly tortured, injured and infected with the Joker’s blood. He did ‘die’ in a sense that he stopped being Dick Grayson forever and became another twisted version of the original Joker.

All of this happened in the mission where Batman sent Robin to handle Joker (referenced in the apocalyptic reality scene). This also explains why Joker appears to be younger and different than previous iterations we’ve seen. As to the original Joker of this universe, he may have had perished in the battle with Dick. The theory also takes inspiration from the Batman Beyond movie where a deceased joker ‘lived’ through an older Tim Drake.

It takes a unique level of stupidity to be so wildly out-of-touch with your customers. Granted, David Zaslav to hire better and more qualified people first, but they turned it down. I have no idea why they didn't even call Snyder. That was a big mistake on Zaslav's part. Even if Snyder couldn't take the job, he could've recommended someone else in the industry who he trusts. I also think David Goyer would've been a much better choice than these two clowns. The DC film brand deserves better than be driven at the ditch by a a hack producer who knows how to do nothing except copy other movies and a cynical and sloppy filmmaker who has no respect for the source material.

I think it's a nice reminder to not be something superman would not like or something superman would never agree on. Hate and vitriol doesn't solve anything.

I honestly don’t understand why some Snyderverse fans are opposed to an animated continuation.

I just don’t see any real possibility of the Snyderverse being continued in live action due to a multitude of reasons. The actors are getting older, it would be too expensive of a movie budget, and it would conflict with James Gunn’s DCU.

I just personally see an animated Snyderverse as a huge benefit: It would have a much cheaper budget, the Snyderverse story gets completed, it doesn’t conflict with the DCU, and with animation, Zack Snyder could take more creative liberties with the visual aesthetics.

Plus, actor age wouldn’t be an issue, since actors would just voice the characters from the comfort of their home no problem. If an actor couldn’t make it or doesn’t want to do it anymore, a professional voice actor can be able to take their place.

What are your guy’s reasons for being opposed to a live action continuation?

I am so in love with this song and I play it almost everyday, before I sleep, during study time, etc… I love the sound. The tune just gives me eargasm, tbh. I think its one of the sounds that will forever have a greater meaning within the film itself. A beautiful composition from Junkie XL.
