Former Warner Bros executives continue to bash SnyderVerse fans. A recent Variety opinion predictably lit a firestorm on social media. That such an article should appear before the exit of DC Films president Walter Hamada is no coincidence. Sources reveal that the previous Warner Bros. regime is responsible for many of these SnyderVerse attacks.
Unfortunately, they’re disguised as objective journalism. However, if you look underneath the hood, you’ll see the hidden rot.
On the surface, the Variety article looks like a startling exposé. One part stands out like a bleeding wound:
Privately, studio insiders have lamented that ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ never should’ve happened.
The key word here is “insiders.”

These are not the new Warner Bros. Discovery executives. Specifically, sources explain that Warner Bros. Pictures Group co-chairpersons and CEOs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy do not share those views. In addition, neither does Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav. They weren’t even at the company back then.
On the contrary, it’s easy to speculate on who Variety spoke to. Or at least one of them. On March 22, 2021, WarnerMedia Studios CEO Ann Sarnoff stated:
We wanted to give Zack the opportunity to complete his vision in a four-hour movie, which is impossible to do in theaters. We’re happy that we have HBO Max to let the rope out as it were and allow the fans to see all four-hours of Zack’s vision.
With that, Sarnoff wished to erase the SnyderVerse. She also told that to Variety. As a matter of fact, it’s to the same author who co-wrote the latest anti-SnyderVerse whining. Gotcha?
Zaslav erased WarnerMedia and took Sarnoff with it.
Furthermore, actions speak louder than words. After all, Warner Bros. Discovery released and promoted the digital release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
Moreover, Zaslav tore apart Hamada’s vision of a DCEU reboot. Under Hamada’s plan, Michael Keaton would’ve replaced Ben Affleck as the DCEU’s Batman. In addition, Sasha Calle’s Supergirl would’ve removed Henry Cavill’s Superman from continuity.

Instead, the opposite is happening. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom added Affleck and booted Keaton. Cavill returns as Superman in a post-credits sequence in Black Adam. Zaslav also shelved Batgirl and cancelled Supergirl. Both projects embraced Hamada’s post-SnyderVerse makeover.
As YouTube personality Syl Abdul scooped, Warner Bros. Discovery will follow the SnyderVerse timeline. The evidence lines up in plain sight. In terms of momentum, which side is this rushing toward?
We’re not seeing these so-called regrets.
Instead, we are witnessing the last howls of negativity from failed employees. They spew venom in the media because Zaslav shut them down.
Without a doubt, the new DC Films chief will face challenges. Nonetheless, that’s true of anybody running a billion-dollar organization. It has nothing to do with SnyderVerse followers.
