Rumor: Zack Snyder’s Justice League Will Still Lead to New DC Projects on HBO Max Despite Studio Pushback

Mikey Sutton of Geekosity claims his sources revealed to him that “The Snyder Cut will be the beginning of several possible spin-offs set in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU),” with WarnerMedia/AT&T viewing it as fallow grounds for new programming.
This is contrary to other reports calling The Snyder Cut a “narrative dead-end” that are based solely on a comment in a New York Times piece about DC Films head Walter Hamada and the future state (pun intended) of the DCEU, in which the news outlet wrote that “At least for now, Mr. Snyder is not part of the new DC Films blueprint”
The Times added that “studio executives” had described Snyder’s HBO Max project as “a storytelling cul-de-sac – a street that leads nowhere.”
Due to the conflicting assessments, on top of the gross cherry-picking, it’s obvious there is a misunderstanding here. While the NYT article makes mention of Snyder, it’s main focus is on Hamada’s experience in managing DC’s film releases, rather than any specific plans for the DCEU’s future.
A large amount of the confusion can be attributed to the fact that HBO Max is being looked at as a platform for any number of DC projects in the coming years. Hamada, making no secret of the streaming platform’s priority, noted to The Times how, “With every movie that we’re looking at now, we are thinking, ‘What’s the potential [HBO] Max spinoff?’”
Given Wonder Woman 1984’s premiere on HBO Max and the announced development of the Peacemaker and The Batman’s Gotham prequel series show that the platform presents a major disruption to thus-far traditional avenues of film distribution, though it’s obvious that industry insiders don’t want to let go of, or so much as dilute, the classical theatrical model.
“The risk is, will watching these movies first on television degrade the entertainment experience, and later the value,” said David A. Gross of film consultancy firm Franchise Entertainment Research to the Times.
“For an individual movie, there is no more profitable business model than a successful theatrical release — creating the biggest pop culture event possible,” he continued. “It’s the locomotive that pulls the entire train: merchandise, theme park licensing, other income.”
