Warner Bros. has reportedly admitted that “Justice League: The Snyder Cut” shouldn’t have happened, amid the Warner Bros. retooling.
As Warner Bros. explores to continue the next phase of TV and film adaptations in the DC Comics universe, the studio has reflected on past projects and hopes to make adjustments for the future.
WBD CEO David Zaslav looks to Kevin Feige as chief creative officer at Marvel Studios, hoping to emulate the success of DC Comics. Since the cancellation of Batgirl, the studio has faced backlash from the community. While this makes sense from a cost perspective, it undercuts audiences’ trust in Warner Bros. The company is undergoing a long-term strategic overhaul in order to restore trust not just from the talent community and from its audience.
DC has struggled when it comes to building relationships with its fan base. Justice League: The Snyder Cut’s internet fan base was able to nurture and build a passionate and engaging audience — so much so that they were able to revive the film. While that’s certainly the case, Variety confirmed that studio insiders say the Justice League: Snyder cut shouldn’t actually happen. Learning from their mistakes, studios must do better at creating their own fanbases that will be excited about the original rather than a potential feature based on an extreme group of online fans that may or may not happen .
