Stay the course. BvS was a great foundation.

What should DC do next to salvage DCEU? Fire Snyder?

I want Snyder to stay and I hope the criticisms don't push him to make any last minute adjustments to please the critics. I loved BvS. Its not perfect, but its not the turd that people are making it out to be.
Whaaaat, 800m? How?

Wait wait wait.
WB/DC doesn't already have a story group guiding/managing the DCCU?
Seriously?

Superman: The Animated Series, JLU, and Batman Beyond S1 had significantly stronger continuity than B:TAS or JL. I get your point, though. Timm did work on Justice League: Gods and Monsters, though, which was fairly long. Also Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, Mask of the Phantasm, and a couple other films, so I think the transition would be a bit smoother. I get your point, though.
But the point is that Timm and Dini were in charge of it. Plus, it may as well have been a part of the DCAU. It certainly carries the spirit of it (though I only just started watching and am on the early episodes yet).

Time travel and fire Snyder before MoS. Hire Brad Bird and give him some very talented writers.

Brad Bird is incapable of making good movie with real humans.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
I believe its just so the production team has got the entire creative freedom to do what they want or something.

No. It wasn't good. Not gutter trash bad, but just incredibly dull and devoid of any spark of life.

Nothing too drastic. The movie isn't that bad aside from editing and pacing issues. The general public will like it and the legs will be fine.
It's a comic book movie. Quality is never relevant with these ones.

Is Snyder actually currating it though? I just can't imagime Snyder bossing around Afflect with his solo Batman flick or James Wan on Aquaman. To me it looks like Snyder just laid the groundwork and from there everybody is running in their own direction.

you want another Batman trilogy? terrible idea with it so close to the previous, i think hard to top, Nolan trilogy.
if you HAVE to do Batman, do Batman Beyond. and Affleck direct? this isn't some movie about Boston, it's Gotham City.

But what if I hate Nolan's trilogy?
I guess I can wait another ten years to finally get a Batman film I like.
He seems to be setting the tone at the very least. I imagine all the solo movies will contain a lot of walking back of his creative choices. Affleck's Batman most likely won't be a serial killer in his own movie, for example.

They made the transition over to 12 hour video game perfectly fine.
I also struggle to find anyone else more qualified than the guys who successfully created a highly successful and critically acclaimed animated DC universe.

Meh. Affleck's solo Batsy would be more than different enough to not make that a problem.

Wait until the Box Office is out before saying the thing is doomed, for christ's sake.
Nope, don't like any of them.
I like certain parts about the Burton and Nolan ones, but they aren't my Batman. The Nolan films are pretty emotionless, do a terrible job with Bruce's character (and any female character until the last movie), and realize far too late the importance of Robin in Bruce's character arc. They kind of feel like watching a Batman movie where Batman doesn't actually show up but rather Christian Bale in a costume.
But I get that my personal interpretation of Bruce isn't everyone's. He's my favorite fictional character ever, so I'm just a bit picky about it.
I thought you knew this.
I hope we can still be friends.

Lol the Snyder hate on gaf is right up there with Mikey Bay. Fuck ya'll haters! Saw BvsS last night and enjoyed it. DO ONE
Are you Michael Bay by any chance?
It becomes hate if I realize that I'll have to wait another ten years before another shot at seeing a live action Bruce (and his children) because of them.
For the most part I can be civil about them, I swear.
But action is like on the bottom of my list when it comes to my Nolan complaints. I didn't even mention it.
But what if I hate Nolan's trilogy?

It's OK. They are probably never going to make a Batman film that I want (I liked Begins fwiw).
I want something that's really out there, like, Jacob's Ladder meets Assault on Precinct 13 meets that Grant Morrison Arkham Asylum comic. Something that feels really claustrophobic and it's basically Batman pushed psychologically, yet manages to push back and remain sane. (I don't care too much about Batman, if anyone is wondering
I think my ideal Batman is the Animated Series one, he's already perfect there, but he's a great vehicle for other stuff).Hire me DC, it will make more sense than BvS I swear!
We'll see about that. >_>
Woah hold up. I love the Nolan trilogy.
But he did his thing and it was awesome, but I'm interested in seeing another direction with Batman. Just not one who senselessly murders.
How do you have access to GAF in 1995?
shut up, you wouldn't have thought of NICK CAGE AS SUPERMAN!!!!!!
I'd be down for this.
It's one of the reasons I like Morrison's Batman, despite having other issues with it.
(I know, I'm never truly happy.)
It's kind of amusing to witness you screaming against the tide in all these threads.
People weren't asking for more awful shit that totally misses the point of the character, just slightly more violent and well choreographed.
I tolerated Nolan's Baleman because I knew he was leaving. I actually think Snyder might be getting the brunt of the backlash a little unfairly because people mistakenly thought that we might actually be getting a more faithful depiction of the character this time.

Nolan Batman trilogy was great. As we get more and more comic book movies I appreciate them more as sticking to their guns and being ambitious and well acted. Nolan had his script problems but he still ironed out some refreshing as hell comic movies. I love them, even the disappointing rises is looking much better with every year we get these other ones. While I enjoyed cap 2 and iron man 3 quite a bit only dofp really impressed me as much as the early gawds like X2 and Spidey 2 and begins/tdk. Singers the last comic director I'm actively a fan of at the moment. Have hopes for coogler and affleck and ayer to do something decent tho.
Snyder has some really interesting ideas and concepts in hand but man he kinda sucks at directing films. Aside from the visual aspect which he is fantastic with (framing of action scenes, aesthetic, cinematography etc.) he gets dull performances, the pacing of his movies is a slog, wooden dialogue etc.

He sucks post 90s tho so no not interested in having him back unless he's woken up finally
