It's a movie, not a TV series. Breaking it up into pieces is stupid
Well that trailer is incredibly pretentious and a very odd place for Leonard Cohen to be. (EDIT: Just realized the Watchmen connection...which I had mercifully erased from my mind)
Regarding the "limited series" idea--I would probably watch a four hour movie in at least three sittings anyway.

A stupid idea is still a stupid idea even if it's been done before.
Breaking this thing into pieces makes even less sense if it's intended to be the "officially definitive" version of the JL story and supercede the Theatrical Cut.
The reality is though, that the lines are increasingly blurred these days. I honestly don’t know anyone who has time to sit down and watch a 4 hour film all in one go, but then again, I’m 48 and have a job and 2 kids, so I may not be representative. But many people I know watched The Irishman over at least 2 sittings; I actually don’t know anyone who watched it all one one go.
And ultimately the option is there to watch TSC all in one go. If you’ve 4 hours to spare. Lucky you!

Probably would have to wait 4 weeks and risk spoilers to do it.Y'know you can just watch it all at once, right?
Obviously a huge factor in that decision is making people stay with an HBO MAX subscription for 4 weeks instead of a single one time viewing.
Trying to edit a movie so that it functions like a TV series and then releasing it like a TV series is making a simple straightforward process overly complicated.
Can’t speak for anyone else but personally, having seen the cinematic version, I’m not sure that spoilers are all that big an issue for me. I imagine that they follow a broadly similar outline. But I suppose for me this is more of a novelty/curio than a must-see.
It's literally a matter of finding 3 convenient breaks around an hour point and sticking credits after them. It's not like it's a network show where every episode has to be exactly 40 minutes or whatever.
I wouldn't say it was obvious, because a lot of us (myself included) expected the Flashpoint movie to do what the comic did and replace the existing DCEU with Affleck with a revised continuity with Pattinson. So the reveal that Pattinson & Reeves's Bat-universe is a separate, parallel continuity like Joker does come as a surprise to me.
That would be cool, although I've been hoping Static would show up on Black Lightning. It seems like he'd be a natural fit there, a protege for BL.
It's a return to the larger DC multiverse for Dastmalchian, because he was Abra Kadabra on The Flash several years back.
Black Adam teaser
Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Cyclone, and, Atom Smasher will be in "Black Adam"

I admit, the Snyder Cut trailer makes me curious about some things, mainly the expanded Flash and Cyborg material. There are some interesting-looking moments, but then, I'm reminding myself that Snyder has always been good at making striking moments and images; where he fails more often than not is putting them together into a coherent narrative.
Black Adam is taking an unusual approach to film teasers. I'm almost tempted to say they should do the whole movie in that style. It would avoid the COVID worries...

Shazam! 2 panel going on right now. Thoughts:
- Faithe Herman is just the cutest!
- Sinbad (the comedian) possibly in the movie. Hm, Uncle Dudley, maybe?!
- It's weird seeing Freddy Freeman trying to grow a mustache
- Official title: "Shazam! - Fury of the Gods"
