I think that's what most fans are hoping (even if I really enjoy this I don't want Snyder directing Justice League).
But the real reason I want JL delayed is to get more Solo movies out there first. Let the DCEU grow organically before jumping into JL.

Remember than Spider Man 3 was the highest grossing film of the series, but the distaste for the film ran so high amongst fans (at least until they saw TASM 2), that the franchise was shelved for a while & Sam Raimi wasn't brought back. Little hope for some kind of reboot with two other DC films in production...but readjustment of some kind is possible.
Well ignoring reviews for a second, I'm pretty sure that studios don't just look at total world wide gross but look at other sales patterns as well.
Like the box office multiplier from OW to Total Domestic which was quite poor for Spider-Man 3 suggesting much worse Word of Mouth that the previous 2. Also Dvd sales (generally people buy movies they enjoyed at the pictures). Amongst other patterns.
So if BvS just touched 1Billion, but the Multiplier and other sales patterns look poor, then WB will make drastic changes because they know JL will be a huge risk.
Agree with you that a Course adjustment is much more likely than a Reboot st this point with SS almost finished, and WW half way through production.

It's coming up on ten here. Leaving soon to be in time for the midnight showing. Will post thoughts and spoilers if anyone wants them when I get back.Hopefully my expectations being lower will help me enjoy the movie more.
Good. Let's get some fan reviews in before I see it tomorrow.
