After Zack Snyder left Justice League, his four-hour version of Joss Whedon’s abomination, and his exclusive deal with Netflix, many believed that nothing and no one could fill the empty void in the DC Universe.
That’s the case or at least, that’s what die-hard SnyderVerse fans believe. Fans are unhappy with James Gunn and Peter Safran steering the ship forward after bashing everything that came down the pipeline and for disgracing the filmmaker’s original vision for the franchise.
Despite the over-hype, the backlash towards The Flash has already started. However, a round has at least been removed from the chamber after Director Andy Muschietti confirmed to Total Film that he gained Snyder’s approval before his upcoming multiversal epic.
“I talked to Zack. But it wasn’t technical or narrative or anything. I just wanted to reach out and say, ‘Hey.’ Because we haven’t met before, and I just wanted to tell him that we would be respectful to the stuff that he did before. Man of Steel obviously is foundational to this movie because the big threat of Zod coming to Earth is a big twist in this story, and it’s something that most DC fans know very well. And that’s one of the great things that can form the narrative of this movie.”
Muschietti did the respectable thing by seeking out and gaining Snyder’s approval. It cannot be denied that The Flash cannot exist without Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, or either version of Justice League. However, SnyderVerse fans will still be disgruntled, as the big red reset button is guaranteed to continue to irritate them.
