According to Walter Hamada’s WB, the studio was trying to reboot DC instead of reloading it. With plans to replace Ben Affleck’s Batman and Henry Cavill’s Superman (Steel man), the former studio wanted to start all over again with a fresh start. However, it appears that the new CEO and Chairman of Warner Bros. Discovery wants things differently.
David Zaslav had three choices, he chose Snyderverse
According to reports, David Zaslav had three choices to continue the DCEU. The first was that of Joss Whedon Justice League (2017), the second would have been to reload the whole franchise with more emphasis on superheroes like Shazam or Black Adam, and the third choice was to continue Zack Snyder’s vision for the DCEU, that is- i.e. Snyderverse.
In a scene from Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Barry Allen aka The Flash is seen traveling back in time to warn a sleeping Bruce Wayne about the future. The newly appointed CEO has the perfect time to continue the Snyderverse from this point. With rumored plans for a Justice League 2 and 3, and the rumors and focus on Henry Cavill returning to the DCEU as Superman, it looks like the Snyderverse may be restored after all.
