DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

It was always intended as it's own separate thing, so nothing changed when Gunn took over. It came out in the midst of the DCEU but was pretty clearly it's own thing. I don't see it so much as Reeves being a control freak, more just that DC decided to just let him do his own thing, rather than force him to fit it into the DCEU and now the DCU. He was the director and director/writer for Dawn and War for the Planet of the Apes, and worked in TV, so he's more than able to fit his work his work into a shared universe if necessary.
 
Oh You know what? It didn't even cross my mind when I grabbed the clip. I thought I was posting the theatrical Justice League version that I saw. I didn't realize that in the Snyder cut that this scene was also back but slightly different

I've never understood why this is so difficult. Its possible to make a movie that doesnt reference the entire universe while still being set in that universe. Let Batman do his own thing and just bring the character into the occasional Justice League or team up movie. Simple. Having multiple Batmans onscreen just makes it more confusing for the audience.

That is a great interview. Gunn's quite an energetic, quick, likeable personality. You can see that he's having the time of his life creating and running all this.

This universe needs a James Gunn Batman. Can you picture Pattinson's Batman doing a dance-off?

I just don't think the Pattinson Batman fits what Gunn does with superheroes.

From listening to his interviews, James Gunn Batman wont be doing any dance offs either. Each director will be allowed to put his own stamp on their movies. Don't think that what you saw in Superman is what the rest of the MCU movies will look like. Clayface is going to be a straight up horror type movie and I doubt that Swamp Thing will be all fun and games either.
