Warner Bros. and DC have taken a more standalone approach to their films as of late, embracing the styles and stories of individual filmmakers before trying to fit everything into the greater connected universe.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe, on the other hand, is all about its connective tissue.

There are different styles to be found in the different projects, but the goal for every title is to serve the greater narrative.

Neither approach is wrong or better than the other, and Justice League director Zack Snyder believes its important for the companies to continue delivering different products.

While speaking with YouTube channel TheFilmJunkee, Snyder explained why its important for DC films to continue forging their own path.

Well frankly, I just love that they decided to kind of embrace their personality, Snyder began.

I think that there was always this sort of criticism and or the middle step.

Whats the middle step Ya know, trying to be like Marvel Trying to do your own thing Like, what are you going to do But I think now, its kind of locked in to this very specific trajectory where, I think and I hope, the idea is that its filmmaker first.

Even when I was doing Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Justice League, there were DC animated films that had nothing to do with what we were doing, and there were DC TV shows that had nothing to do with what we were doing, and there was no way to seam those up without alienating a giant fandom by saying Your Flash doesnt count or Your animated show doesnt mean anything.

He went on to say that the Marvel Cinematic Universe took the time to establish itself, and it worked because there werent any popular shows or movies out there with those same characters that people were already attached to.

DC had to approach things differently from the start.

But that was just never going to happen with DC because the DC TV shows were so popular and because their animated shows were so popular.

And Christopher Nolans movies sort of had another tone and other universe.

And I think there was that thinking for a while, but Im glad that it kind of settled into a much more diverse approach.

Following the release of Wonder Woman 1984, DCs next project is expected to be Zack Snyders Justice League, which will arrive on HBO Max in 2021.
