Second and also a fairly obvious choice is a high-quality animated adaptation of Ben Affleck’s cancelled solo Batman movie project.

So even a super-expensive animation budget of $1 million per episode would still keep the entire thing below $10 million and be fantastic way to complete Snyder’s Justice League story plans, if live-action is just too expensive for the studio to approve. That said, I’m still also a proponent of animated spinoffs and sequels, since it’s probably much easier for HBO Max to say “yes” to that. This would let Snyder create a really extended, detailed storyline with top-notch production values for a live-action grand finale to his version of the DC universe. I like the idea of a miniseries best, because the cost per episode can be high enough to look amazing, and the story can be longer to include everything Snyder planned, but still keep the budget in the $100 million range (at $15-20 million per 45 minute episode, for five or six episodes). However, I think a single live-action sequel would be worthwhile to wrap up Snyder’s larger Justice League plans, and could be accomplished for a relatively lower cost as a streaming film/series. The cost of a live-action production, coupled with the difficulty in assembling the cast again, and in light of the apparent fears among some at the studio regarding having too many variants of the DC world going at the same time (there is already a CW shared universe, a formerly-DC-Unlimited shared universe, a DCEU cinematic shared universe, a newly emerging shared Batman universe of its own, and multiple separate universes of standalone films and shows) could be a bridge too far. There are five primary Snyderverse projects that would undoubtably be big hits for HBO Max, and which I think they should pursue.įirst and most obvious is a sequel to Zack Snyder’s Justice League, be it a movie or miniseries. Now, I want to single out specific projects that should be first on that potential list. I previously endorsed the idea of HBO Max creating an animated Snyderverse continuation, and you can read that article here. So, what exactly could or should any Snyderverse spinoffs be? But remember, the potential for this isn’t strictly based on ZSJL vierwership alone - there have been 11 films so far in the DC cinematic universe arising from Zack Snyder’s initial entry Man of Steel, and many of them were enormously popular while others enjoyed moderate to good viewership and reviews as well. Zack Snyder’s Justice League has been viewed by at least 4+ million people so far.
