Following the revelation that James Gunn & Peter Safran would be leading the DCEU in a completely new direction, a certain fan base persevered until the very end and held onto a glimmer of hope for a franchise that had already vanished. Yeah, we are referring to the DC fans who have taken to social media to unite behind the hashtag #RestoreTheSnyderVerse. And it was all due to Warner Studios’ extreme mishandling of Zack Snyder’sJustice Leaguemovie, which led to its total destruction.
For the unversed, the term ‘SnyderVerse’ describes the interconnected film universe that Zack Snyder created, starting withMan of Steeland extending toJustice LeagueandBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. An interconnected DC Universe has supplanted the aforementioned plans under the new direction of Gunn and Safran, encompassing film, television, animation, and video games.
But a recent report signals WB’s potential reconciliation with Snyder by collaborating on a300TV series. This optimistic horizon emerges as exciting news for die-hard fans and casual spectators alike, especially considering the lingering unrest following Snyder’s absence fromJustice League’s final cut.

This is a different WB to the one he had major problems with. They will still be people their from the old regime, but they don’t matter with new leadership.

Despite a great start to their relationship with the 2006 filmWatchmenand the early DC Extended Universe installments, Snyder and WB’s collaboration came to an end with his departure fromJusticeLeague,citing creative differences and a familial tragedy.

How Zack Snyder’s Vision Diverged from WB’s Expectations
Last year,Zack Snyderelucidated his philosophy regarding the characters within the Snyderverse and provided a rationale for his unsuitability as the person to lead the cinematic universe. In an attempt to create a broad franchise centered around DC Comics’extensive library of characters, Warner Bros. launched the DC Extended Universe in 2013.
But a number of roadblocks kept Snyder’s franchise from reaching its potential, which is why the DCEU ended early, and the DCU will soon undergo a major makeover.WithJames GunnandPeter Safran’s DC Universe, DC is taking a new turn, and Zack Snyder is concentrating on his own projects outside of comic book adaptations, such as his sci-fi epicRebel Moon.
In a 2023 interview withTHR, Snyder reflected on his approach to creating a live-action DC Comics Universe adaptation, saying:
I never looked at it as the job, ’Oh, I’m the architect of DC. I need to create entertainment for DC that sells toys and that is for the masses and fun for everyone. I didn’t care [about that]. I liked Batman, I liked Superman, I wanted to make something cool. You picked the wrong guy if you wanted a product.
The DCEU’s demise was brought by critical and commercial setbacks. Audiences were split on Zack Snyder’sBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,and the chaotic production ofJustice Leagueleft the Snyderverse hanging by a thread. ButWarner Bros. seems to be realizing the potential in working with Snyder once again, and this300TV series could be just the beginning of a new chapter of their relationship!
