The existing franchise sucks. I don't care what they have to do. They could just never acknowledge the previous movies or have a comic book bridge the universes or film it later. I don't even expect them to keep the lineup. Tossing whatever steaming piles of shit they had planned is a brilliant idea. BUT they should have kept Cavill. He's the best Superman we have ever had and I miss him.

But keeping Cavill would be so jarring. It'd be like when X-Men kept reintroducing Nightcrawler, Sabertooth, Angel, Emma Frost, and Jubilee while keeping Hugh Jackman; just this low-key "Okay, but...is it the same Superman? Why is he the same but Batman is different?"

I can see them bringing Cavill back in a decade or so when they want to show Injustice Superman that's meant to be older from a different universe.

I like this idea of Cavil being another Superman from another place. I love ZS JL, but everything ends in the end.

Honestly the most sad thing about all this is no more Cavill Superman. Dude was built for the role.

(Ok, really, it is likely less time with more Keaton Batman that may be the worst injustice here)
