If they had a problem accepting what Zack Snyder wanted to do, they should have fired him after Man of Steel. Going along with Batman v Superman and then Justice League committed them. It made no sense to bring in Joss Whedon because he is nothing like Snyder in style or tone. It would be like hiring Brett Ratner to finish Eyes Wide Shut for Stanley Kubrick because he directed The Family Man. WB was too stupid to realize that Zack Snyder's VISION has a fan base and the logical thing to do would have been to let their director finish telling his story. DC comics has plenty of ways to reboot universes and Flashpoint will allow them to make all the character and continuity changes they desire.
Just wondering, which director would you have brought in to replace him? I thought Whedon was chosen because he had been working behind the scenes already with Snyder on the film and they were in crunch time. I don't believe the decision to have Whedon take over was about style or vision, just a simple pragmatic choice to get the movie out on time.

Not sure many/any director could fill in for Snyder's stylistic choices.
