10 Things You Only Notice Rewatching Snyder's DCEU Movies

10. Joss Whedon Tried

Speaking of Joss Whedon stepping in, there’s a nice little nod to this fact in the opening credits. Just after Whedon’s name flashes on screen, we see a homeless man holding a cardboard sign which says ‘I Tried’.

Snyder himself obviously didn’t have a hand in this, as he’d stepped away by this point. However, Whedon may not have been in on it either. Though directors typically oversee the whole movie - you know, they’re in charge of its direction - opening credits don’t always fall under this remit. It may have been put in at his request, or might just have been the titles staff having some fun.

It could always be both, too. While Whedon may not have intended for the message to flash up right after his name, it’s clearly intentional to have the film open with ‘I Tried’.

Though Whedon did a good job with his two Avengers movies (the first in particular) he wasn’t a universally popular choice. Either because of fanboyism or the vast differences between his style and Snyder’s, there would always be something to complain about. But hey, he tried.
