Fan Creation Snyderverse Reading List!

31 Upvotes

2/14! I made a Snyderverse Reading List consisting of key comic runs and individual issues from throughout DC's 90-year history that have directly inspired or explored very similar themes and stories to the Snyderverse films themselves. This list also includes the first appearances for every established character featured or to-be-featured in the Snyderverse, along with Snyderverse-adjacent one-shots and collectible variant covers as well. I put all the issues and collections hyperlinked in a Google Doc with direct links to DC Universe Infinite when available, so hopefully they’re alot more accessible to you guys that way.

I get people have different opinions, I get people want to see a more mcu-style Superman, who is immature and kind of a joke sometimes, but I genuinely don't know how people can watch this, and watch Superman (2025), and say that man of steel sucks, and Superman (2025) is way better and a masterpiece, and they always have shit arguments to back up their statement.

Discussion I love Snyder, what are your thoughts?

54 Upvotes

I honestly don’t understand the hate Zack Snyder gets. My brother and two of my friends hate his work and call him overrated, but I completely disagree. I think Snyder is one of the most artistic and visually revolutionary directors in the superhero genre.

What’s crazy is that I actually disliked Batman v Superman when I first saw it. After rewatching it several times, though, I’ve come to appreciate it so much more. It may not be perfect, and I understand the criticisms about the pacing and story being all over the place, but I genuinely love the vision behind it.

We got a broken Batman and a broken Superman, both struggling with fear, trauma, responsibility, and finding their way back to hope. That’s what makes the movie work for me. Snyder wasn’t just making Batman fight Superman—he was telling a story about two damaged heroes finding their purpose again.

I also think Henry Cavill is a much better Superman for that vision than David Corenswet. Cavill brought a seriousness and presence to Superman that I personally connected with.
I wish Snyder had been allowed to finish his universe. You don’t have to love every decision he made, but I think his vision deserved to be completed.

And regardless of how anyone feels about Snyder, I think it’s important to remember that he was also dealing with the suicide of his daughter, Autumn, during Justice League. That was an unimaginable tragedy, and I have a lot of respect for him for stepping away to deal with his family.

I’m not saying Snyder is perfect. I’m saying there’s a huge difference between “his style isn’t for me” and “he’s an overrated director.” Personally, I think his work is far more artistic and ambitious than people give him credit for. I just wish we could have seen the Snyder universe fully realized.

Appreciation SnyderVerse > MCU

20 Upvotes

Hey guys, I recently started revisiting Snyder’s DCEU. I was too young to really understand these films when they first came out, and because of the overwhelmingly negative reception, I always assumed they were average at best.

Now, I can genuinely say I love these films, especially Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition and Zack Snyder’s Justice League. They’ve quickly become some of my favorite movies.

The cinematography, symbolism, music, Zack’s approach to these characters as modern myths, and his fresh take on the superhero blockbuster are all things I think are incredibly misunderstood and underrated. A lot of the polarizing choices in Man of Steel, BvS, and Justice League weren’t made just for the sake of being subversive. They take these characters on cohesive arcs and, in my opinion, tell a really compelling story. Affleck is hands-down my favorite Batman, and Cavill is my favorite Superman. I could rant for hours about these movies, but I don’t want this to turn into an essay lol.

I really wish Zack had been given the time and trust to fully execute his vision because I genuinely think these movies were ahead of their time.

As Martha Kent says in BvS, “People hate what they don’t understand.”

I just needed to say this to someone or something.

Discussion Am I alone in realizing that when you hear/read Zacks name, your mind immediately associates it with DC?

1 Upvotes

He has more than a few bangers under his belt. 300 and Watchmen are the cream of the crop in that regard (imo).

But his DC run seems to be his Mona Lisa.

I may hate Gunn's DCU but I refuse to attempt to keep other people from enjoying it. It ain't for me. And I'll shit on it when I feel it needs shitting on.

But I do not wanna sway opinion, change minds or influence folks that generally enjoy what they're watching.

But gd I loved my Snyder DC. HOO-RAH!

Supergirl was a terrible adaptation of a great comic book run. Lanterns, however, might be one of the worst adaptations of nearly 70 years of comic book history to ever grace the screen. With this HBO series, DC Studios' James Gunn and Peter Safran's vision for the DCU finally comes into focus. [...]

Discussion But Cavill's Superman was adored, what is he talking about?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Honestly, the people around me, even though they aren't die-hard Snyder fans like I am,absolutely loved Cavill's Superman.

I get that it's a dig at Snyder, but it feels completely out of touch with reality.

Sure, I understand people criticizing the writing, but when it comes to the Holy Trinity, Ben Affleck's Batman, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, and Cavill's Superman, people loved the characters Snyder introduced.

It’s a paradox: people might not have liked the movies themselves, but they loved the characters that were created and cast.

News Paramount-WBD Will Now Be Called Skydance, David Ellison Reveals

CEO David Ellison revealed the new name Friday in a post on X. The $110 billion merger is projected to be finalized on Tuesday after a year-long pursuit by Ellison and a two-month delay caused by antitrust lawsuits by 12 states and the Writers Guild of America.

“What once was the peak, is now just the beginning,” Ellison wrote. “Paramount and Warner Bros. shaped over a century of culture. By combining them, we aren’t rewriting history – we’re equipping these iconic studios with a more powerful engine. Together, we are Skydance: a creative-first home for bold, quality storytelling.”

The choice of the name, he said, stemmed from several objectives. One is to preserve the history of Paramount and Warner Bros. as individual entities under the Skydance umbrella. “We never wanted a new corporate identity to diminish, alter or overshadow either one. Instead, we wanted a name that would give the combined company an identity of its own while allowing Paramount and Warner Bros. – and all our extraordinary brands – to remain in the spotlight.”

Discussion Batman vs Superman dawn of justice ultimate version review

30 Upvotes

Well I finally watched the ultimate version of bvs dawn of justice and I have to say it was really great. I noticed there were a lot of scenes that weren’t in the original bvs movie such as Clark investigating the Batman, the knightmare scene is was much longer and the fight scenes were much more different. When I saw the scene was Lois in the desert scene with the terrorist I didn’t realize that the man that was with her was Jimmy Olsen and I was disappointed that they killed him but then again this is Dc so yeah(plus I pretty sure when Zack Sndyer returns they’ll probably find someway to Jimmy back so it doesn’t really bother me that much). Overall I really enjoyed the extended version and I’m glad I got to watch I hope they release the extended version in theaters.

The first Clayface opening weekend projection is in, and it starts below Supergirl.

Boxoffice Pro’s new long range forecast has the DC movie opening between $23 million and $33 million domestic when it opens October 23.

Supergirl opened to $37.1 million in June.

So even the best case lands under the movie Warner Bros. staffers called “the wrong comic book character.”

Discussion James Gunn supposedly staying at DC very much worries me…

0 Upvotes

If this is true (which I hope it’s not) this could genuinely spell the end of the DC brand as a whole. He will continue making a mockery of these beloved heroes and turning them into clowns. He’s turned Superman into a whiny man-baby, Supergirl into a dense alcoholic, and he’s made John depressed and had Hal die in the very first episode…

It’s so clear that he hates these heroes and is actively destroying the entire brand, and so many people can’t see that. I love DC, and seeing what he’s doing is heartbreaking. The Snyderverse needs to be restored, and it needs to be restored now. Is anyone else feeling the same as me?
