Haha. That answer wouldn’t make any sense for the question posed, but sure.
Exactly.
Oh, I know. I can read. But it doesn't change my point.
Yeah what they say and what they actually do if they win the bid and the merger is approved...
( Microsoft and AT&T certainly didn't keep their word after recent mergers and suffered no litigation from the FTC over it. So yeah what they say during the bid process as opposed to what they actually do once the bid is approved in the merger happens...)
Because the Snyderverse, with one or two exceptions - none of which involved Superman - sucked.
The first Wonder Woman was quite good.
Man of Steel Appreciation
I personally love Man of Steel. It is my favorite version of Superman on film. I wrote an extensive review when it came out and talked at length about it in a podcast. I wanted to start this tread to talk about the movie with other people positively. There are may forums online where people...

althought the early days of the snyderverse had high ratings and made buttloads of cash
i wonder if the gunnverse is gonna be huge like the mcu was and at the same time will be huge like when the synderverse was
How are you defining "Snyderverse?" I hear people use it to refer to the entire DC Extended Universe, but that makes no sense, because Snyder only directed 2 1/2 of its 15 canonical films and parted ways with the franchise no more than 4 years into its 10-year run. It makes more sense to use "Snyderverse" to refer to the alternate continuity comprising only MAN OF STEEL, BATMAN V SUPERMAN, and ZACK SNYDER'S JUSTICE LEAGUE (and maybe WONDER WOMAN, I guess, since it has continuity links to BvS & JL).
I mean, people forget that Warner Bros. was very unhappy with Snyder's work on BvS and JL and parted ways with him because of it. The myth is that he was only replaced after his daughter died, but WB was already pushing him out well before that; Joss Whedon had already been brought in to write the studio-mandated reshoots on JL, and that's why he was picked to direct them as well when Snyder had to step down. But even if Snyder had stayed to finish the JL reshoots, it would still have been his last involvement with the series, since it was clear by that point that he and WB did not see eye-to-eye. So it's very strange to refer to the whole series as the "Snyderverse" when over 80% of it had nothing to do with Snyder and was at odds with what his approach would have been.

Director James Cameron's response to that is essentially "Bullshit".
But other DCEU movies have continuity links to those movies... and so on.
And specifically -- if we're talking continuity -- The Flash is in the continuity of Snyder's JL as opposed to the other JL.
I don't know of any references in Black Adam to Snyder Cut events.
Oh, fuck the Snyder cut. The Henry Cavill Superman (spoiler) appears at the end of Black Adam, which puts it as much in the DCEU as anything Snyder had his fingerprints on.
I think you’re perhaps missing the distinction that The Flash contains a couple of ambiguous references that appear to legitimize the Snyder cut of JL as the “real” version of that film (though Snyder himself has said it’s non-canon to the official DCEU continuity, and it’s explicitly inconsistent with Aquaman). This is very important to some people. To the rest of us, it’s at most a mildly interesting footnote in the annals of nerdom.
