Don't Worry, Snyderbros, You'll Find Something to Love in the New DCU

With the birth of the DCU, dedicated Zack Snyder fans are expressing dissatisfaction at the prospect of never seeing the Snyderverse completed, but that doesn't mean that James Gunn's DCU won't give them exactly what they need. Since the release of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel in 2013, the DCEU promised a darker, grittier take on superhero movies than what competitors like Marvel Studios offered. This approach was then followed up with Snyder's Batman V Superman in 2016, which saw two of the world's most recognizable heroes face off, revealing their anger, and their desire for revenge and control. This glimpse of the sensational heroes with god-like powers, grounded and humanized by their flaws characterized the DCEU that Snyder was building.
