Yes it seems like a parade of slightly strange producers keep getting hold of it and getting it stuck in the mud. I'd be happy with just a fairly solid, Marvel-style movie made with him.
On a whim I decided to pop Batman '89 on tonight: I haven't watched in years, and it really is terrific. I'd kind of forgotten how good it is, but it just belts off at a great pace and really sweeps you along.
Superman has never recovered from Richard Donner and HIS crew leaving. Zack Snyder I knew was always going to be polarizing. My fears escalated when I realized General Zod and Kryptonians were the only villains he had planned. He moved Superman back as much as Bryan Singer did. One of the reasons I feel is lack of the use of the villains from his rouges gallery. It’s either Lex Luthor, General Zod and Kryptonians, a combination of the two in BvS’ Doomsday, or made up villains. That’s one thing that scares me about JJ Abrams being involved: his non-faithful script that was almost made, and still could be and a lack of villains not used before continued not to be used. Hey Warner Bros and DC: want to make Superman relevant again? Give him a new threat, based on his rich 80+ years comic book history.
I think Zack Snyder thought that bigger would be better. I think someone else should have handled the DCEU.
As for Batman 89, it’s a rare movie that I like to have a copy of all the time. It works great as a standalone movie. I can’t wait for the comic book continuation this summer.
No David Ayer SS cut coming.
That's the spirit! :-bd @CraigMooreOHMSS I had faith you would notice something cool in the score :)>-
Interesting, perhaps Helen will channel her turn as Morgan Le Fay, Helen was a great villain in Excalibur.
Actually, she could be Morgan Le Fay in Dr Strange. :p

I would watch that, I like the incorporation of Mythical/folklore characters in DC and Marvel.
I recall Wonder Woman and some of the Justice League coming up against Morgan Le Fay.
I love that video. Some of those details are pretty cool to look for next time I watch the film.
I spotted a couple of details on intitial watch, I often feel Snyder does not get enough credit IMO he has made some great DC Elseworld films and he does know the DC universe despite what some say.
I would love for them to do more Elseworld material. The Vampire trilogy comes to mind. Snyder could do that.
I hope we get a comic book adaptation of Ben Affleck’s movie script. DC is going down the nostalgia route. I wish we could have seen Batgirl vs Deathstroke.
I REALLY think that WB and DC has been thinking about putting Batgirl in a movie for a while now, longer than we think.
Yes, but which one ? Betty Kane, Barbara Gordon, Cassandra Cain or Stephanie Brown ?
PB’s long awaited comic book appearance!
I hope so too. I was thinking of Mr. Freeze (in a Joker style movie) or Brainiac.
I always thought he would have made a good Green Arrow.
Great casting for a great character.
Just goes to cement my initial reaction to it:
It would have been a fitting approach for the scenes set on Themyscira, but it was a poor choice for the Wonder Woman scenes (she has a great theme, use more than the percussive elements of it for goodness sake!) and especially hilarious during the slo-mo sequences.
That last edit choice in the video had me cackling.
Oh my goodness that was giving me a headache after a while! It's so incredibly 90s, awful.
That's quite a good article, and ends on an important note too. Too many fans thinking there's some sort of crazy anti-Snyder movement in the critical world meaning they attack anyone who disagrees, and before they'd even seen it! Apparently quite a bit was misogynistic too. Maybe pandering to this sort of fan movement isn't healthy.
I thought this quote they picked out was very good too:
“every scene is directed the same way, as though it were taking place on Mount Olympus,” and while the mythical grandeur the Snyder Cut is drenched in is an improvement on Whedon’s take, it also deprives the film of any small moment, which in turn “means that there’s no such thing as a big one.”
That was my feeling too: it actually felt very flat to me because there's never a variation in tone- it's all portentous and the most important thing ever. No peaks and troughs, just a flatline of Important.
The Flash scene in the doggy day care is about the closest it gets to letting off the gas, but it just felt weird to me, that scene. Miller's performance wasn't as funny as they thought it was.
All of those scenes with Steppenwolf... all the same, not furthering the plot. Just redundant stuff.
