The superhero genre continues to be wildly popular. And while DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has been crafting a new shared universe (with the first slate of projects called Gods and Monsters), another twist came thanks to Netflix acquiring Warner Bros. and its properties. Following this news, there have been renewed calls by fans to restore the SnyderVerse.

Following the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League (which is streaming with an HBO Max subscription), the filmmaker's fans started campaigning for the studio to #RestoreTheSnyderVerse and allow him to produce his two planned Justice League sequels. While there's been no indication of this actually happening, Netflix's deal with Warner Bros. has some fans feeling hopeful. And they're taking to Twitter to make their voices known, check it out below:

Zack Snyder Thanks Fans for Support Amid Netflix Warner Bros. Deal

Zack Snyder has addressed renewed fan support amid the recent Netflix–Warner Bros. deal. The filmmaker shared a public message thanking supporters as online momentum continued to build around the future of the Snyderverse.

In a December 8 Instagram post, Snyder stated, “Today marks a little milestone on this wild Instagram journey—500k followers in just over two months! I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s joined along the way.”

He continued, “For me, these characters are a kind of modern mythology, and I put a ton of reverence and respect into bringing them to life.” He closed with, “Seeing that resonate with so many of you means the world. Here’s to many more stories together!”

Zack Snyder Says He Treated DC's Characters With "Reverence And Respect" While Sharing New Superman Photo

Zack Snyder's first DC movie was 2013's Man of Steel. Released in the wake of The Dark Knight Rises, the hope was that Snyder would do for Superman what Christopher Nolan, who was credited as an executive producer, had done for Batman.

Man of Steel scored decent reviews and ticket sales, but proved surprisingly divisive. That was down solely to many of Snyder's creative decisions, including Clark Kent standing by and doing nothing as his father died, the destruction of Metropolis, and Superman's decision to stop General Zod by snapping his neck.

Three years later, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice followed, and as the title suggests, Warner Bros. was eager to catch up with Marvel Studios by hard-launching the Justice League. The movie went way over budget (hurting its profitability), and reviews were mostly negative.
