10 Ways The DCEU Will Change Without Zack Snyder

10. Fetishised Violence

One thing you're guaranteed with a Zack Snyder film is hyper-stylized action: there's an almost perverse fetishism in violence that tends to manifest in an attempt to make it all look as impossibly cool as possible.

The director didn't invent the so-called Adrenaline Time framing technique (whereby frame speed is sped up and slowed down to add bone-crunching impact), but he certainly ran with it, taking it to new heights in 300. He's been fond of it ever since, and the same conventions have influenced all of his DCEU action sequences (albeit in slightly evolved form).

There's a chance subsequent film-makers could use Snyder's stylistic favourites (aside from the darkness, there's nothing at all wrong with his approach to stylish action, and Adrenaline Time adds a lot of impact), but there's no way you'll come away after feeling like you've just spent some time so intimately involved in a Zack Snyder fight dream.
