Would I want him making Justice League or The Flash? No. But personally I also think JL needs a better "quality" director than Snyder.
lol it's just my opinion. I'm not forcing it on anyone. I fully appreciate what Nolan did for the bat brand, I just think I'm going to enjoy Snyder's/Affleck's version more.

Yeah it's a bit weird giving him that many films.

Do you feel in that respect that WB should be like Marvel and have different directors on their films?
Np. I know im in the minority. I'm used to it lol

They're pretty much all important at this point. If Snyder is going to direct, I want him paired with a good writer. Terrio is that guy, so I'm happy.

^ Yeah of course they should. I mean it's not like Snyder absolutely nailed it with MOS, and yet they're giving him not only BvS but JL parts 1&2? That's insane!Right now best thing WB/DC have going Imo is Suicide Squad. And that's because it's David Ayer directing so will be a breath of fresh air from all the Snyder, more Snyder and even more Snyder.
I agree...

Anyone else? lol Come on, man. Not everyone has the vision Snyder does for the big guns. I'm not even sure Affleck could pull it off. I think you need someone who is pretty enthusiastic about these characters, which is why Snyder is the right person, IF DONE RIGHT.
Let's see how Affleck pulls off the solo Batman movie first.

Not seeing what this amazing Vision of Snyder is that no other Director is qualified to take on.
He was also very enthusiastic about Superman. And like I said, MOS turned out fine(for most people), but Snyder didn't exactly hit it out of the park. So no idea why WB thought it was a great idea to hand over BvS, JL1 and JL2 all to this same guy, who hasn't done anything spectacular for them.
If he really had some "grand vision" that WB loved, then they should have him sheparding the whole thing while you get other directors in IMO.

Not every director can take on big projects. I'm sure many can, but I'm not going to say, "Anyone but Snyder". Snyder has a good vision for the comic book medium, IMO. Much more than your average director doing CM now. Just my opinion.

"The Drumhead", an episode of Star Trek TNG.

So the runtime has been revealed as two hours and thirty one minutes. Holy balls.

I thought that quote sounded familiar.. I need to watch that episode again ... 😄
2 and a half hours is what I expected... As long as I am entertained throughout the whole entire film than the time won't matter

Yeah, Winter Soldier was only 15 mins shorter and that was awesome.

Good or bad, he definitely has a vision.
And I like the previous projects he's done so far.
One could even argue that Bay is a more skilled & experienced director but then again he's made more critics with Transformers & Ninja Turtles.

Good. Means we can have 2hrs of BvS, then leave 30mins at the end to cramp in the Justice League nonsense.

He's great at visuals and has done my favorite CM to date. I think he's pretty good if paired with a good script.
He's too "hit and miss" to put this and both JL movies on him IMO.
If he completely nailed it with MOS and it made like almost a Billion dollars or something, then I'd get it. But looking at his record I really don't get why they'd risk everything on this 1 guy. Just my thoughts anyway.

While I agree that Synder is a hit/miss director, imagine if the studio had dropped Nolan after Batman Begins because that flick only about doubled its money. They could have potentially made millions less going forward.
Ultimately box-office $$$ will dictate whether Synder keeps on directing DCU flicks.

Like I said above, I'd understand giving MOS 2 to Snyder. But BvS and both JL's is pretty much banking the whole DCEU on him. Whereas Nolan was given 1 sequel at a time after BB IIrc.
Also I'm sure BB had better WOM going for it than MOS.
Yeah, seems so. But I'm certain the studio has the option to remove Synder from future films if BvS underperforms.
I loved BB myself and its a ridiculously superior film to MoS, but in the end MoS made about 3x its money while BB just did over double. 3x is a solid platform for a director to keep selling himself to a studio and that's what the studios ultimately go on, $$$ earned.
