Snyder is great at visuals, but I genuinely believe he relies far more on the script/screenplay than other directors.

Snyder with a good script, we get Watchmen or 300.

Snyder with a bad script, we get Sucker Punch.

I blame Goyer for any faults in MoS a lot more than I blame Snyder.

Let's not hang Snyder based on Sucker Punch.
It was a pet project of his & regardless of it flopping, it was a fun watch.

Zack tweets a pic from the set of Justice League. Flash costume looks nice.

^ Lol You're very easily pleased Golgo. End if the day credit or fault is all down to the director. Like Robtard said, If BvS fails to perform, Snyder will be out.

Yeah that's probably true. Whedon made it clear he couldn't be arsed anymore.

How am I easily pleased? Pretty much anything Snyder has done sans Sucker Punch has been solid. That's not being easily pleased.

300 (Not a big fan, but was solid)
Watchmen (Awesome)
MOS (Solid)
Dawn of the Dead (Second best movie he's done)

According to the pic above, Zack isn't going anywhere.

Anyway let's just hope Snyder suddenly becomes the next Gunn or Russos after this.

I doubt it but I get what you're saying

You seem to think "solid" and clear "hits and misses" is good enough to take on ALL the biggest DCEU projects. That's what I meant.

Cool picture. But trust me, if BvS underperforms (unlikely) Snyder would suddenly announce he's moving onto other passion projects of his.

The only miss I see with Snyder is SP. MOS wasn't a miss. It made 668 M WW and 300 M in DVD/Blue Ray sales which was more than most Marvel movies to date. Even if BVS doesn't do 1B, Zack will still be on JL. As long as the cash increases, he'll be fine.

That'd be real silly if WB IMO. But I'm not in charge

According to you it can't miss. So you have nothing to worry about. Mos wasn't a huge hit though and it's superman so it underperformed. Quit denying this and the fact marvel movies are on another level these days.

Not if the movies bring in the dough. Everyone hates Bay on Transformers, but they always seem to take in a billion.

^ Yeah but when you're talking about a movie that could have potentially made Avengers money, and the last 2 Batman films made $1Bill each(without 3D ticket sales mind you), then the studio won't be celebrating if this makes under 1Bill and receives mixed reception.

Just look at TASM2 which made $700mill and got rebooted.

Everyone doesn't hate bay on transformers. Kmc posters aren't everyone, dummy. Transformers didnt have the budget and advertising costs of Batman v. Superman as well.

Looking closely that looks like Mera's battle armor and perhaps another Batman costume. 😎

Golgo said it can't fail. Your own words, fanboy.

New footage in the jeep ad.

Oh my...The BatJeep.

There are TEN Marvel movies ranking higher on the box office list than MoS, which is currently on position 86. And two Dark Knight movies as well. But I doubt this will bring in the same kind of money... it all looks pretty dark and depressing. (and stupid, IMHO 😉 )

This will make bank either way tbh. Which unfortunately means Snyder will be making Justice League regardless of how good or bad BvS is.

Yes, I think you are right.

Still, earning back 400 million bucks is quite something. Means the box office should also be pretty high to make up for everything.
