Snyder taking back over is no bad thing - after Aquman, Shazam, Birds of Prey and now WW84..tone wise, the DCEU is all over the place and if anyone can pull the likes of Cavill and Affleck back in and pull the mess together then it's going to be Snyder.

This to me is however a GOOD thing! The main problem I have with the MCU is that everything feels like a homogenic blob, where filmmakers aren't allowed to deviate too much, whereas in the DC films, experimentation seems more welcoming, making the films feel more like actual films and not, well, products, which I feel the MCU has been more or less reduced to. Disney would never have greenlit something like Birds of Prey or Joker (not part of the DCEU, I know) or the upcoming The Batman (also not DCEU) in their current forms. I just feel like it's refreshing, diverse, and they can be judged more on their own merits than on how well they fit into the overarching narrative being spun. This boldness is the main reason why DC films interest me more than Marvel ones, and like I said, I feel that's a good thing!
