13 Problems Nobody Wants To Admit About The DC Movie Universe

11. Zack Snyder Is No Joss Whedon

The Problem: The MCU was lucky enough to have Joss Whedon acting as a major creative force in its earlier stages, what with him writing and directing both Avengers movies and also acting as a consultant on other projects, giving input on scripts and even contributing rewrites where necessary. The DCEU isn't quite so lucky to have someone of Whedon's caliber; director Zack Snyder can craft beautiful images, he's always been more of a style guy than an ideas man. As such it's discomforting that the franchise doesn't seem to have a loud, confident creative voice, either a producer or director, who has an intimate knowledge of the source material and can help build a consistent style and tone throughout all the DCEU movies, whether Snyder directs them or not. How To Fix It: Making Christopher Nolan a more active part of the DCEU would be a big way to calm fanboy fears, for though he's served as producer on Man Of Steel and executive producer on Batman V Superman, his role has been very limited for the most part, and there's no indication about whether he'll be involved with future movies in any capacity. Alternatively, bring in another successful blockbuster director to help lighten Snyder's load, given how many future DCEU movies he's already committed to. Matthew Vaughn, perhaps?
