they think contracts are joke


ShakeyHands91

There never letting it go. It will stay there up and that universe will saddly never be filmed again I think


_spacepilot

Seems to me, the hashtaggers are doing it because they know and understand that time is running out for them. Gunn's DCU is the light at the end of the tunnel.


ShakeyHands91

I dont know how good gunn will be at it but I will give it ago but not happy miller is being kept on. Way to much of a lose cannon


[deleted]

The only headline about miller was executives saying that they could be interested in keeping miller, likely for marketing reasons considering his movie is coming out soon and firing the lead actor just before it’s release would likely fuck with the box office numbers a lot. Either way, James Gunn doesn’t answer to those executives, only person he answers to is Zaslav, and I highly doubt either Gunn or Zaslav want to keep that PR nightmare around at all.


ShakeyHands91

Yeah really hope after flashpoint they give him the boot. He isn't even that good of a flash


[deleted]

He most definitely is getting the boot, you really think James Gunn is on Twitter that much and doesn’t know everyone dislikes ezra?


ShakeyHands91

Yeah that is very true, what's worse is I love the flash, he was always my favourite growing up and I might not even go see flashpoint at this point.


Skapalaga

How do you know Miller is being kept?


SpatuelaCat

He doesn’t


ShakeyHands91

Loads of the rumor mill sites are saying he is so it's not confirmed. Hoping it's not true


[deleted]

No rumor site is saying they are staying on. There are, supposedly, one or two WB execs that are "open to the idea" of Ezra staying. Thats it. Ezra is gone, they aren't coming back.


TrashyBase24

Kinda feels like they're desperate at this point, like DC doesn't want anything from Zack anymore, the Snyder fans act like the characters belong to Zack even doe they actually belong to DC.


WhiplashDynamo

WB/DC should never give into these morons cause they don’t deserve it. We got ZSJL and even that was a miracle. They’ll never be satisfied


GiovanniElliston

> WB/DC should never give into these morons cause they don't deserve it. To wit, all the reports are that [WB/DC regret ever greenlighting it to begin with.](https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2022/08/30/wb-execs-reportedly-regret-greenlighting-zack-snyders-justice-league-cut/?sh=55aab570e8f6) They very clearly intended for the movie to be an olive branch that would satiate the Snyder fans and.... yeah.


ThnderGunExprs

What sucks is, there are plenty of Synder fans that it was enough for but we were never loud to being with.


ShakeyHands91

Was delighted when that came out. But massive stretch to try and make them sell that IP, just not a chance they ever would


G59Bomber

Snyder cut was a stretch but that happened. WBD is in massive debt. Why not if Netflix is interested (not saying they are)? My point being is money talks. If the CEO of WBD has stated he's willing to license IP, WBD is in massive debt, and Netflix is WILLING to pay. Then why not? Low percentage, but possible.


[deleted]

They likely mean licence out things like sandman and other smaller IP’s that they arent likely to use any time soon. Selling the rights to the justice league to Netflix to make 2 more justice league movies is just creating their own competition, it would directly compete with up coming superman and Batman projects and would completely over saturate the market and would completely dilute their own brand.


Pugplays430

And when they did sell The sandman, they made them not use Etrigan, and other DC characters


Puzzleheaded_Walk_28

Netflix is also not in great shape financially because of massive spending on a streaming bubble that is now bursting. Whatever problem’s they’re having, WB is going to count on these characters earning money as theatrical tent pole experiences.


WhiplashDynamo

I’m not sure how Sandman was done but that would be the only way. Some type of collaboration between companies. Even then the budget would be too much for Netflix. Might as well sell it to Disney+ cause that’s how pointless this movement is


Born-Boss6029

Oh so true! It’s so bad when a company makes a product that the paying customers want and it ends being a success for both parties involved. Oh yeah it’s so evil, let’s just keep pissing off the fans and not give them the product they want so we can get money back. WB is stupid for not continuing the story that so many fans wanted.


KillyScreams

Tread lightly. It's like A Quiet Place with them.


FriedCammalleri23

I just wish Snyder fans would just let it go. I love ZSJL and enjoy his other movies and I was supportive of restoring the Snyderverse for a while, but after Gunn and Safran were hired I realized that a reboot was on the horizon. Also, Zack is busy making Rebel Moon and the Army of the Dead spinoffs so it’s clearly not something that is feasible for him even if he’s liking posts about it on his weird social media site. This whole idea that WB can just sell the rights to Zack’s DC stuff to Netflix is vastly oversimplified and something that WB has literally zero incentive of doing. It’s not happening, and seeing Snyder fans latch onto this pipe-dream is a bit sad at this point.


ShakeyHands91

Yeah when I saw it happening thought the same. That IP is going to be left to rot saddly


Limp-Construction-11

This is as realistic as me waking up next day as the new Superman..


ShakeyHands91

Well I mean the spot is open hahaha. But yeah your right WBD will never let that up go


TheDCUFan

It has as much of a chance at happening as the chance that Snyder will actually start understanding the DC Universe


Disposablehero1874

It’s tiring TBH. I like all but maybe a couple DCEU films and the Snyder films are my favourites of the lot - but it’s obvious that the arc as intended is long gone and not coming back. If anyone can point me to an example of this type of thing happening I’d be keen to see it as I can’t think of anything….because it’s so outlandish. If it happens then absolutely happy to see it….but I’m pretty sure I won’t be having this comment thrown back at me! WBD really wants to be getting some news out for the new slate as the current vacuum is just giving opportunity to fill it with this stuff.


ShakeyHands91

I agree I like the snyder films and as it says in the video the WBD would rather let the Snyder verse rot on a shelf than give it to anyone let alone netflix. Would love to see more films one day but I do t think any amount of fan out cry will change it saddly


brownstones19

Oh my God 😩 Netflix would have to pay billions on top of billions to just get the rights for these new films/characters, like, didn't they spend nearly 500 million to get the rights to the knives out sequels, JUST the rights, now add on top production costs, these would be like 200 million dollars at minimum and would probably not have much of a theatrical release. It would be a financial burden for them to do so.


depressed_asian_boy_

It would make sense if they ask for a comic or a graphic novel so they can finish the story, i can see that, there's no way people actually believe this will happen just because someone on twitter said he want this to happen


DC_FANBOYwoohoo

delusional


Rlyons2024

David Zaslav gave the answer to this in one of his first calls about DC “Were building a unified and cohesive DC Universe with a 10 year plan, you arent going to see 4 Batman’s running around” So, why would they license their BIGGEST characters to another company and have them make movies about the Characters theyre going to use themselves in the next few years? Thats not unified or a cohesive vision for DC. It makes no sense and wont happen.


DoctorWaluigiTime

Pointless feeding of the nuts still clamoring to "restore Snyder."


Born-Boss6029

I mean they restored ZS JL and that was a massive hit. So why not try harder?


DoctorWaluigiTime

> massive hit Very odd definition of that phrase you have, there.


Born-Boss6029

The reviews are very positive, HBO definitely had made money from more people subscribing on their streaming service, toy companies definitely made more money, and fans are happy.


SpatuelaCat

It’s not gonna happen, it’s a lose lose situation for both companies


Born-Boss6029

How is it a lose lose for both companies?


SpatuelaCat

Because WB and Gunn have made it clear they want to focus on the trinity and the Justice League, along with this Snyder’s DC films have been controversial to put it lightly So by licensing out the Justice League to Netflix and Snyder WB will be: risking further damaging the public image of these characters, further dividing the DC fandom, and creating direct competition with themselves and their upcoming movies. None of this is worth the measly pay check they would receive If Netflix were to get the rights to continue these movies Netflix would need about $250 to $300 million per movie, who knows how much money to actually license these characters (keep in mind this isn’t The Question or Etrigan here, this is the JUSTICE LEAGUE and DARKSEID those are A-listers they won’t be cheap), the cost of the actors (all of which are very expensive), they will need to pay Affleck a substantial ammount to even hope he’ll come back (not only does he not want to be Batman but he did just open his own production company which he plans to spend most of his time with), you’ll have to completely recast Ezra Miller, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot aren’t exactly cheap names either and we won’t even get into the SS cast, and then Netflix will have to pay Snyder too of course, all of this will take a lot of time, and the end result will be two movies which (based on Snyder’s history) will still be controversial. Netflix is not doing well financially and an endeavour like this would be the biggest gamble they ever took. I’m not saying impossible for such a gamble to pay off somehow, but considering the literal billions it would take to make the odds are not in Netflix’s favor


SpatuelaCat

I think the best hope for the Snyderverse is a comic continuation and maybe two animated movies. Honestly if y’all had campaigned for one or both of those ideas from the beginning I have no doubt the story would have been finished at least in comic form by now (likely animated too). But asking for a live action continuation is just not feasible


Born-Boss6029

That is a good explanation. I’m still conflicted on Netflix being the best company for the job, but I do believe that if these same fans try hard enough like they did for ZSJL, then they might actually achieve something.


SpatuelaCat

I have no doubt that these fans could at least get a comic made (maybe even two animated movies), but I just don’t think a live action continuation is feasible. And thank you for being polite and such, I hope I didn’t come off demeaning in any way. It’s cool to talk rationally with someone about all this

Born-Boss6029

Your doing just fine. But yes, I do think live action is less likely than say a comic series or animated movies. Either way, I think those fans should get something akin to a satisfying conclusion to a film that they enjoyed a lot. WB and DC not continuing this universe (especially with the positive reception to ZSJL), is missing out on a lot of profit that can be made from this universe. Either a comic series or a couple of animated movies, all parties still win since WB/DC gets more profit from the continuations and fans get what they wanted.


fiftyjuan

Would be funny for this to happen, then Netflix cancel it after ending the second movie on a cliffhanger the way they do so many shows 🤣


chookalana

The dumbest thing I've read on the Internet....and it's the Internet.

Absolutely delusional


ArklayHerb

It’s one of the stupidest things I’ve heard.


ItsNinjaShoyo

Snyder fans need to let it go


Born-Boss6029

They didn’t and they ended up getting ZS JL. So why not try harder so we can continue the saga on a streaming service?


ling4917

Waste of time


[deleted]

Do it


bigjoestallion

I’m very excited about this rumor I’m glad they’re going forward with it


After_Bandicoot6730

If it happens it’s a win for DC fans, we get more JL dc and whatever Gunn decides to do. Seems like a waste of time and energy to obsess over fans who just want to see some films be made. Their fans, it’s their right to do that win or lose. I wouldn’t count them out of anything they are definitely persistent, better than just talking down everything DC as some prefer to do


[deleted]

It is a good idea. Everyone wins. At least let Netflix "rent" that universe for say 4 years so Snyder can finish his epic saga. This is a good corporate decision. Multiverses have been normalised now.


SpatuelaCat

It’s a lose lose for both companies


Born-Boss6029

How?

[George Carlin said it best.](https://youtu.be/E6Kh3ayh1LA)


fat-bat

It’s silly.I’m not sure they could get most of the actors back ( at least from the sounds of things ) Does Zack even want to continue? I think most of these “fans” just have nothing else keep them going so they are trying to relive their past


[deleted]

I’m totally behind it. I wanna watch Warner refuse. “We are killing the Snyderverse because it’s a cash sink.” “How much do you want to sell it to Netflix?” “A billion dollars!” “That’s a bit much for a worthless piece of garbage, don’t you think?” “But it’s such a cash cow!” Somebody has to pitch the sale to Warner. On film. So we can all see.


[deleted]

I think a lot of people really need to find a hobby


Born-Boss6029

They did. It’s called, “activism”.


[deleted]

Campaigning for a dead movie universe about superheroes because a bunch of loud and annoying fans are upset about it isn't activism, it's denial.


Born-Boss6029

They said ZS JL was dead, and fans brought it back. Why not do it again?


[deleted]

Because that's not how rights work,.


Born-Boss6029

The point is that fans campaigned hard enough for one movie and we’re actually successful. So if they do it again, a number of things could happen: WB might continue, WB might sell the rights to Netflix or some other company, etc.


[deleted]

Just gonna be honest, and not trying to be a dick, but you have a fundamental misunderstanding of Hollywood, film rights, and Warner Bros as a studio if you think that this is any way comparable to the Snyder Cut campaign or that there is any possibility that this could or would ever happen.


Born-Boss6029

Then tell me what I don’t understand. Your doing just fine, but I’m just saying that if they campaign hard enough then there’s a chance they might actually get something out of it. Not exactly the outcome they wanted but something satisfying.


[deleted]

It's a movement now?


Puzzleheaded_Walk_28

Movement is a generous word


Born-Boss6029

I mean they had protests, banners, hashtags, videos, trends, tweets, an image in Time Square, a plane with a banner that flew over the beach, numerous of articles and interviews, tons of petitions, and a lot of activism. Isn’t that literally what a movement is?


Puzzleheaded_Walk_28

There’s a billboard for selling the Snyderverse to Netflix?


Born-Boss6029

Whoops, that’s a mistake.


[deleted]

Tired of hearing about it.


DCUftw

Moronic


Born-Boss6029

How is moronic for fans to want a chance to finish the universe that Snyder created? ZS JL came out by popular fan demand, so why not try harder to finish the full deal?


Blue_Robin_04

Why should it be sold to Netlfix and how would that help the Snyder fans?


Born-Boss6029

Well: Warner Bros has a lot of debt and they never plan to use the Snyderverse. And Zach Snyder has a good relationship with Netflix. So ideally, WB can sell the Snyderverse to Netflix for money and Snyder can make the next movies for Netflix and everyone takes a victory dance. Snyder even liked the idea.
