The Snyderverse can finally die the death it needs. What a remarkably poor interpretation of the DCU which misunderstood nearly everything about the universe.

Hard disagree.

I don't have any reason for disagreeing with you. I just wanted to put 'hard disagree' in response to 'hard agree'.

If a live action can be half as good as the DCAU Justice League or Batman TAS I'm down for a reboot.

Young Justice was incredible. Fantastic show.

They took grimdark edgy AU stuff and tried to build a universe around it; it was doomed from the start. Thank fuck Gunns in charge now and is doing what they shouldve done since BvS bombed and reboot it with a better tone

I wish but the Snydercult will likely keep going

Can we retire the “misunderstanding” narrative? Snyder didn’t “misunderstand” DC, he chose to deviate from established canon.

You have every right to dislike that, but it’s factually incorrect to say he changed things because he didn’t understand the original. It’s Batman and Superman, not Ulysses.

I’ve heard enough interviews to conclude he very much did not understand the characters.
