DC Has No Plans To Continue SnyderVerse, Says Jim Lee
DC Chief Creative Officer-Publisher Jim Lee says the DC Extended Universe has no plans to continue the SnyderVerse. After Christopher Nolan revitalized Batman on the big screen with his Dark Knight trilogy, Warner Bros. turned to director Zack Snyder to do the same with Superman. The success of 2013’s Man of Steel helped position Snyder as the visionary who would spearhead Warner Bros.' shared superhero universe the DCEU; fans often refer to Snyder's contributions as the SnyderVerse, which is comprised of parts from the director's original 5-movie plan for the franchise.
Unfortunately, 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was critically panned and, in 2017, Snyder was forced to leave Justice League’s production following a family tragedy. Then, the overwhelmingly influential #ReleaseTheSnyderCut campaign resulted in Snyder’s Justice League debuting on HBO Max. Despite the 4-hour cut’s success, WB and DC Films have chosen to abandon the SnyderVerse and rework the DCEU with titles like The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, and the upcoming Black Adam. The Flash film (Ezra Miller controversy aside) is even poised to shelve the SnyderVerse timeline while benching Ben Affleck’s Batman and Henry Cavill’s Superman in favor of Michael Keaton, Batgirl, and Supergirl (not to mention Robert Pattinson's Caped Crusader, who stands apart from the DCEU).
