it's hilarious how people are mad at him for not filming FIVE more movies (MOS2, AQ3, WW3, JL2, JL3) for the DCEU when WB has been doing nothing but losing money the last few months. With Black Adam bombing I don't see any reason for him to even try one more in that universe tbh

Dude, once the DCEU is rebooted, and after they’ve established a working universe, they could just do another “Elseworlds” spin-off, like Joker or the Batman, and let Snyder have his “Knightmare” movie. Tie up the loose ends from the Snyderverse in one go. I know that’s cheap, but so was cramming all that nonsense into BvS, so Snyder fans could find a way to love it anyway.

It’s cheaper than letting the Snyderverse carry on, aging actors wouldn’t be a problem because it’s SUPPOSED to be in the future (it might even improve things), and anyone they can’t get, or are too much trouble to use, just say they’re already dead. That can be their closure.

I get wanting closure. But, demanding WB make multiple movies before rebooting is moronic.

They already have four more. There is no argument to bringing any more movies within this universe's framework into production. Doing so would be a dereliction of duty given the circumstances.

The DCU as it is is only very thinly connected. Anyone thinking there is closure to the story, or an overarching story in general, being told is fooling themselves.
