Warner Bros. Urged to Not Sacrifice SnyderVerse for James Gunn's Vision For DCU Amid Its 100 Year Anniversary Celebration

Warner Bros., a company that has been a giant in the entertainment industry, recently celebrated a huge milestone. The company was started all the way back in 1923 by four brothers and on April 04, 2023, it officially completed a hundred years in the industry. Warner Bros is celebrating this milestone by releasing new products, content, and experiences for its loyal fans.

While it is a joyous occasion, one simply cannot overlook the cloud of gloom over it. In recent months, Warner Bros. has been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism owing to everything that has been going on over at the DC Studios. Fans of the superhero universe are refusing to celebrate the 100 years of Warner Bros. after James Gunn and Peter Safran’s vision brought the much-loved SnyderVerse to an end.

Ever since the Snyderverse was brought to an end by James Gunn and Peter Safran’s vision for the DCU, fans have been furious. On April 04, 2023, Warner Bros. reminisced about the “Unforgettable moments” seen by the company in the last 100 years by sharing a heartfelt video on Twitter. However, the post didn’t receive as many positive replies as they would have hoped.

The fans of Zack Snyder have been actively lobbying for the restoration of the SnyderVerse as they are not ready to say goodbye just yet. They are even urging Warner Bros. to sell the rights to the SnyderVerse to Netflix. From Henry Cavill’s Superman to Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, fans believe there is so much more left to the characters’ stories which is why they cannot end so abruptly. Here’s what fans on Twitter have to say,

The hashtags, ‘#SellSnyderVerseToNetflix’ and ‘#RestoreTheSnyderVerse are being used every day by the fans. There is no way you would log on to Twitter and not see these hashtags around. Fans are desperately trying to get their favorite superheroes and stories back. However, will the Studios give up and listen to the fans? Will the SnyderVerse finally be restored?

With everything going on between the Studios and the fans, it is only fair to see what the man himself has to say about it all. During an appearance on the Vodka Stream, Snyder talked about the possibility of the SnyderVerse getting sold to Netflix. The Man of Steel director stated that all of it was way above his pay grade.

“It would be amazing if, you know, I could like, whatever, control over the IP [that] exists. I don’t…that’s not my part. That’s not my role. As I say, it’s above my pay grade.”

Snyder also praised the Studios for being supportive of SnyderCon, his charity event, and added that the “new group” was caring and kind.

“But I would say that – I’ll say one thing. Warner Bros., as far as I am concerned, as far as this [SnyderCon] is concerned, have been incredible. This group now is beyond kind and caring and personal. It’s been amazing working with them. I have no complaints. Beyond that, as far as the creative goes and what they’re planning? I honestly have been busy shooting. I have no idea what they’re up to…It’s really not my call, I guess is the point.”

Well, there you have it. While fans would love to see the return of the SnyderVerse, there is really nothing Snyder can do. For the time being, fans can do nothing but cling to the hope they have and continue lobbying for SnyderVerse’s return!
