Or they could just use screws and a screwdriver, or a staple gun, glue, duct tape - aka other tools. The shared universe can be a fine tool, but it's not a tool every superhero franchise or film needs. Truly solo/independent films unconnected to each other are another tool in the box - just as good as the shared universe one, but one we've forgotten in the hype of the ongoing MCU success.
Just because it’s a shared universe doesn’t mean everything needs to be part of some overarching story. Or that there even needs to be an overarching story.
And have we forgotten about independent films? Outside of MoS / BvS / JL everything else DC has put out is more or less it’s own thing.
Only Joker and the upcoming The Batman is independent of a shared universe. Everything else is part of a shared continuity - whether they do their "own" thing or not.
I'm not saying that shared universe is a bad thing - I'm saying it'd be nice if more superhero movies weren't in one. After the 21/22+ MCU films and, 10-ish DCEU films, I feel it's not that big an ask. Not "shared universe but it does it's own thing" but truly separate movies.

Stay down, if I wanted it, you would be dead already - Clark.

I hear MM (and perhaps Darkseid?) in the background (also interesting dialogue overall).

Martian manhunter says "I have a stake in this world.It's time i started fighting for it"
Something along those lines.Snyder said his manhunter wanted humanity to rise on it's own and fight their own battles.He didn't want to interfere.So that makes sense.

Maybe they did experiment on him when he arrived.It's snyder.I could see an arc like that.Manmanhunter being wounded hero and who doesn't give a damn.Starting to come around humanity as a whole.Heck!That would also go along with snyder's "everything revolves around superman" thing.Seeing superman and batman work together might change his mind.I mean,superman didn't have a fun time when he introduced himself.So there would be a reason for a green alien to lay low.
