I was wrong. It is sourced and confirmed:

Wow, that is some awful crap. I can’t believe I defend Snyder.
I’ve been re-watching all the Nolan-verse/Snyder-verse films on HBO Max (it really doesn’t start with Snyder, but with Nolan), and there is a serious drop in quality starting with
Batman v. Superman. I was so looking forward to the
Snyder Cut Justice League, but plodding through
Bat v Supes and
Suicide Squad have me wondering what I was thinking. Even
Dark Knight Rises and
Wonder Woman have awful moments.
Try to watch
Rises and attempt NOT to cheer for Bane at least a little, as annoying as that Bane voice is. It’s like, do it, do it, Bane! Blow up Gotham, because these people are fools who deserve it! Send the entire police force into the sewers? Great plan? And that’s Nolan, the alleged good stuff.
Do we need to discuss, really, how bad
WW’s fight with Ares is? CGI-by-the-numbers — formulaic!!
Suicide Squad. I don’t... have the words. It’s so bad. It’s so bad, “Big Willie” Smith couldn’t even be bothered to provide a song for it. I bet watching it with the sound off and “Gettin’ Jiggy With It” playing over and over might make for a better viewing experience.
I’m still going to watch the
Snyder Cut, but I can’t say I have much enthusiasm for it after watching all the movies in order, and after reading what is now confirmed to have been at least Snyder’s initial plans.
I think what really kills me is Geoff Johns and Jim Lee fully participated in all this crap. Snyder’s not their fault, but at what point do I as a fan look at the awfully bad product DC’s been churning out and just give up on it?
Why is Marvel so good, and DC so bad? I guess this is a question people have been asking since about 1961, with a couple dozen bright spots along the way. Watching all the Snyder/Nolan-verse movies, reading the actual plans Snyder had, and even reading the absolute hash they’re making of the comics, you have to wonder what does DC need to right the ship? I thought it was Snyder, that at least he had ideas, but after watching and reading, I was wrong. Although, I still liked
Man Of Steel, and most of the movies have had some good moments. But DC needs some serious direction.
I just don’t know what the direction DC needs is, but I concede it’s not Snyder.
At least it will be interesting to see what AT&T does with DC, though I hate how they’ve laid off so much editorial staff. I hope they have better ideas for its movies.
