7 Reasons Why There Is Still Hope For The DC Extended Universe

In a lot of people’s eyes, the future of the so-called DC Extended Universe is not looking good. So far, three films have been released under the banner – 2013’s Man of Steel, 2016’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad – and none have been met with critical or fan acclaim.

Similarly, fans put off by Snyder’s distinctive and divisive brand of moviemaking should remember that there are many interesting directors on the horizon who will no doubt deliver something very different.

First, we have DC beating Marvel to the punch with a female director in Patty Jenkins, who will helm Wonder Woman. James Wan, meanwhile, could marry his supernatural and action movie expertise to make a great Aquaman movie, and Rick Famuyiwa is an off-the-wall choice for The Flash but could very well turn out to be a brilliant one.

But the most interesting upcoming director for fans is Ben Affleck himself, who will be the main guy both in front of and behind the camera in the next Batman solo movie. The actor has both proven himself a great fit for the character and a talented director in the likes of Argo, so it will be fascinating to see his own take on the Batman mythos.

If Snyder and David Ayer haven’t done it for you so far, don’t worry – there are plenty more where they came from.
