I completely agree. The Cyborg arc was handled very well in the Snyder Cut, not unlike how they had told his story in Justice League: War (DCAMU). It had sadly been reduced to a footnote in Whedon's film, lacking story content, character development, and resolution. But Snyder's film pushed his arc to the forefront, making his introduction in the DCEU among the most powerful.

I love the DCAU too. Timm, Dini and others have created something unique, unique in tone, style and approach. But I also love the world of MOS/BvS/JL TSC. They are different, but so are various comic book series. There is not one definitive or good DC series, in my opinion at least. Of course, that's all a matter of personal taste. And yes, these are long films. Combined, they easily run for well over nine hours. That's a Lord Of The Rings level of commitment for any viewer. But you can easily watch these films episodically, say one hour at a time. JL TSC, especially, is told in 'parts', and the film comes as two Blu-Ray discs as well. Given the nature of these stories, it's not mandatory to sit through the whole thing at once. That said, I have so far always watched the film in one take and I can say from experience that it's like getting a "runner's high". That final hour, I'm coasting on accumulated adrenaline levels, so when the league battles Steppenwolf for the climax, I am in a DC comics super-rush. When the film is over, it feels like I have invested so much time and energy in the whole thing that I am victorious in some way too, except that I never struggled with watching the film. It's pure fun for me. ;-)
@AstonLotus
A high-five to you too!
Oh! I'm in heaven. Because I will defend Cavill as Superman. I think he rocks in the role. Thanks for the good news, @CraigMooreOHMSS!!! :-)
Really? Is that confirmed? That's very interesting.
Not officially confirmed yet, alas (and I doubt it ever will be, except by the film itself on release). The only reason I give it some credibility is that they're separate to previous reports of him shooting scenes for Shazam 2; and lines up with what Warner Bros. seemingly want to do with Superman for the time being (which is have him in the background).
I suppose it depends on which version of the source material you're attempting to be authentic to.
I agree with that. The 'source material' itself is more diverse than people's outfits at a comic con. You read twenty different DC titles and you're likely to end up with at least fifteen different iterations of the main characters. Even Snyder's gloomy and burdened-by-their-powers superheroes have their comic book antecedents.
Since this isn't an exact science I'd say that pretty much every opinion makes sense, @Denbigh. ;-)
This is good news indeed. I'd wondered why we hadn't gotten a Man of Steel sequel yet and feared we had seen the last of Cavill's Supes. It'll be good to see him in a new one, even if it's just briefly.
Agreed. I still have no idea what's holding up another lone Superman film. They certainly have villains to choose from, and I feel like that could be a really easy moneymaker for them.
Yep.I think a lot of audiences were not ready for Cavills more grounded take on Superman in 2013,but his star has risen since then and he has a big fan base ( especially in the geek community ).A high quality MOS sequel would do really well especially coming off the success of The Snyder Cut.
I don’t believe he’s in The Flash though,I think the film is delayed because of the Discovery merger.Also,it’s rumoured WB were unwilling to meet his salary demands for another Supes film.
The only times Cavill felt closest to Superman was when he was flying for the first time in MOS and all the Whedon reshoot footage.
And Chris Evans’ Captain America proves that a boy scout approach doesn’t turn off audiences in the slightest.
And the idea that a traditional Superman wouldn’t work doesn’t fly when the first Donner film came out at a very cynical and gritty era of cinema after Watergate and Vietnam. That’s why Lois makes a crack over Superman’s truth justice and the American way “you sound like you’re gonna run against every elected official in this country”.
Audiences will buy into it as long as the filmmakers actually believe in that Superman. Unfortunately, we haven’t had any director that believed in Superman unless he was brooding, and given how disappointed the studio was with both SR and MOS underperforming, it seems audiences weren’t taken with those interpretations either.
The Martian Manhunter stuff was terrible and just makes no sense. It also just makes him look like an asshole
MM: “Hey, I decided only after Steppenwolf tried to conquer Earth that I’ll actually start helping out for now on.”
Bored Affleck: “eh, okay, cool.”
The Winter Soldier is what really made Evans Captain America.Putting this boyscout in a darker corner of the MCU where he didn’t know who to trust really developed his character in a great way.
It’s why I like Cavills Superman so much.Some people consider his interpretation “ dark “.It isn’t,it just more realistically shows how much a character who has all that power would struggle to find acceptance in a real world.Keeping his powers a secret for most of his life must have taken an emotional toll,but the fact that he still tries to do the right thing is what makes him Superman.
And yeah,that scene in the Snyder cut where he shows Steppenwolf who’s boss was absolutely EPIC! It was up there with Captain America using Thor’s hammer.
I think their career is just as much trouble as Will Smith’s.
Misbehaving celebs are nothing new, surely. And people forget things. Well, maybe studio execs don't. Here's another actor I like, so I hope this doesn't interfere with his future work.
I must also apologize for not doing the 'they' and 'them' thing. It's got nothing to do with how I feel about people who are gender-neutral, just with simple grammar. "Miller then threw the woman to the floor with their hands around her neck"... ? Yeah, my spelling corrector software just called me an illiterate buffoon so I'm going to stick to singular - singular constructions. Just wanted to make that clear lest I be wrongfully accused of looking down on people who identify as neither male nor female.
Watch out, Ray Fisher will never stop criticizing you for that.

I saw someone saying that the studio haven't been able to do the required (and normal) reshoots on The Flash because Miller hasn't made themselves available- and that was before this arrest. I don't know if that's true or just rumour (the person had a blue tick on Twitter but I suppose that's not proof) but if it is I guess it would be a bit of a career ruiner.
Yeah, he had to deal with an unpleasant man for two months half a decade ago: not nice I'm sure and I hope he gets what he's after, but maybe concentrate a bit more on paying those bills.
Curious career: looks like he only had one TV role before getting the part?
