While many Snyder fans are still fuming at James Gunn for cancelling Henry Cavill's Superman sequel and other projects Zack Snyder himself had plan in favor of a new DCU with movies that do not show as much value and appeal as previous movies, some are still calling for his resignation which is a waste of time due to this issue with Warner Bros handling of Superman films dating back 42 years from today since Christopher Reeve's third movie as the Man of Steel, while others who have been big fans of Marvel and DC immediately have found an alternative to restoring the Snyderverse as part of elseworlds, even if the upcoming Flash movie does reset things, Snyder's work would just have to continue in a different universe similar to the one he began in and he would get some of his projects done from there. Or, if the Snyderverse is already a separate universe from the one we've seen since 2017 leading up to the Flash, then let's go over how Zack can continue his vision since his cut of the Justice League shows that WBD is only lying to us about the Snyderverse being over.
But . . . other than how stubborn and ignorant David Zaslov, the CEO of Netflix and their shareholders are to cooperating with fans' request and are too reluctant to hear us out on giving something they're afraid to go back to doing another chance, we will be expecting some changes in the continuation of a revived franchise involving some key cast members who may not be able to or not be interested in reprising their roles from previous films of the soon to be gone DCEU as well as ensuring that Snyder himself doesn't waste the rest of his vision by having it all implemented in comic book storylines or cartoons. He deserves better than that.
He'll also need to look into bringing Dwayne Johnson back as Black Adam since the former wrestler himself did what he could to try and bring Cavill back as Superman. Now, let's go over what movies the continuation of the Snyderverse, the second part, should be made to continue where we left off.
First up is Man of Steel 2 or with Supergirl being involved the sequel would instead be titled "Cousins of Steel", the Superman movie Warner Bros has kept on avoiding for years since the first film. It should serve as the re-entry into the Snyderverse which needs to be based on some of the following storylines from the Superman and Supergirl comics to help make both character's roles in the film stand out great and Snyder should be able to take all the time he needs to get the movie perfected along with the right actors for the characters his project will include. Whether or not this film will resume the franchise in the same universe or in a different universe parallel to this one shall be up to what upcoming live action and animated projects will have in store for us. Either way, we are not backing down and we will not be constantly subjugated to the same stuff over and over again and we don't want our favorite characters having their identities and stereotypes changed after everything WB and its top investors have put us through all these years.
Henry Cavill has plenty of support to return as Superman, including from me, but in case anything worse than what Jeremy Renner got himself into early 2023 happens to him, other actors like Wes Bentley and Scott Adkins would help fill in for Cavill if he is either unable to act anymore or does not feel interested in returning as Superman. Either way, it's always important to have a backup in mind once his sequel is set to move forward.
As for Supergirl, Sasha Calle, who plays the character in the 2023 Flash movie would do great reprising her role in the revived sequel to Man of Steel. Otherwise, Madison Iseman would take up the mantle instead. Here in this movie, Kara will either have come out from the phantom zone, or out of cryostasis that kept her asleep and young for over a thousand years inside the Fortress of Solitude and instead of the cheap, concept looking uniform she wears in The Flash 2023 movie, she will retain her traditional blue suit. But whether Supergirl will be white or brown shall be up to both Snyder and the majority of fans to decide.
For Brainiac, the main villain of the sequel to Man of Steel, Snyder should look into casting either Daniel Craig or any of the Bond villain actors he's fought on set such as Mathieu Amalric, Dave Bautista, or Javier Bardem. Brainiac, along with other major Superman villains from the comics has been repeatedly denied by Warner Bros from ever being able to show up on the big screen and it is all due to the studio's leadership's mismanagement, arrogance, impatience when it comes to competing with Marvel, lack of interest in exploring other characters from the comics, and now with the leadership of the umbrella being too driven by politics as well as serious conflicts of interests when it comes to some company executives answering to no one but their shareholders. December 2022 was not the first time WBD recklessly rejected Superman movies with Brainiac in them. It goes all the way back to the 1980's when they chose to rush production on Superman 3 and rip the fans off with a made-up piece of crap of a human villain with mind control technology. Brainiac is one of Superman's most powerful enemies and he would definitely pull off a real good job in Man of Steel 2 once we succeed in getting the Snyder Verse restored.
Now, here are the following versions of the character for Snyder to choose from in order to get Brainiac to stand out flawlessly in live action. Feel free to leave a comment below on which of these three attires is best fit for the villain in the yet to be restored, produced and released sequel of Henry Cavill's Man of Steel film.
Heck, if it helps, Snyder should just look at having Brainiac wear the first two attires in the picture above, the one from the comics and the one from the Injustice Game if it helps the character stand out effectively in the film. Believe me, we must not allow Warner Bros to keep avoiding the character anymore soon as the Snyderverse is restored and Man of Steel 2 being greenlit for production. So we must make sure Brainiac shows up in the film as the lead villain.
Felicity Jones to replace Amy Adams as Lois Lane if the actress declines on reprising her role or if Adams wasn't Snyder's original choice to begin with
Anne Hathaway or Rebecca Hall as Silver Banshee, another one of Superman's most popular enemies who has been never gotten the chance to show up on the big screen due to WBD's incapability to accept that enough of the same villain in every Superman movie is enough. She is also seen by many big DC comic fans as Supergirl's arch enemy due to the impact her altercations with Superman put her through after having been spurned by her own family over leadership of the McDougal clan. Now, some people would say that she isn't popular and doesn't look like she's worth exploring on the big screen that it's all about the brands, but after years of seeing just how little Warner Bros has allowed DC to utilize the character in certain TV and movie projects, sometimes, you've got to slow down and go over what hasn't been used much and look back at some of the source material to see what you're missing. Well, when I've read the comics featuring her fighting Superman and Supergirl, I've seen plenty of potential out of Silver Banshee and because Zack Snyder is a guy that's into religion and mythology, the Snyderverse should have the right specific elements to include Superman and Supergirl's non-alien, supernatural foe and if Snyder does look into going over whatever changes would be needed for the script of his second Superman standalone film while keeping Brainiac and Supergirl in the mix, he should definitely look into including Silver Banshee as one of the villains for Superman and Supergirl to fight in this movie if we ever do get Warner Bros to stop holding it hostage out of politics, but also have Banshee be portrayed throughout the continuity of his universe as an anti-hero after having her and the Girl of Steel going head-to-head in a more appropriate real world location in the mid-south.
Also, to help the character's origin in the restored DCEU stand out more effectively and maturely, rather than Siobhan McDougal being obsessed with being leader of her family's clan and having become Silver Banshee by her brother disrupting the ritual that created the latter, she would instead turn out as an immigrant who rather than destined to become leader of the McDougal Clan will have left Ireland and have had fallen in love with someone she loses in the aftermath from Man of Steel during Superman's final battle with General Zod and the destruction of the battle will have disrupted the ritual McDougal was in the middle of conjuring, killing her and then allowing the side effects of the disrupted spell to transform her into Silver Banshee, making her a relentless enemy to both cousins of steel until Supergirl beats her in a fight in Raleigh, North Carolina, rather than fictional and political towns like Leesberg, Virginia. She would also become the first to join Black Adam's team which is shown from the Endless Winter storyline of DC comics as well.
Gerald Butler as Metallo, the cyborg supervillain best known for using the power of kryptonite against Superman will make an excellent accomplice to Brainiac and will later around the end of the movie join Lex Luthor's legion of doom.
Guy Pearce as Cyborg Superman
Diane Lane as Martha Kent
Harry Lennox as Martian Manhunter
Laurence Fishburne as Perry White
and Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam
Other potential cast members would include.
Sarah Shahi as Adrianna/Isis
Zheng Kai as Ryan Choi/Atom, the new owner of S.T.A.R. Labs after Silas Stone.
Rebecca Buller as Jenny
Tyrone Magnus or Stephan James as Ron Troupe
Aaron Taylor Johnson as Steve Lombard
Italia Ricci as Lana Lang
Nicolas Cage as Zor el
Sofia Vagara as Alura
Jason Lee as General Sam Lane
Here are the comics for Snyder to base the official sequel to Man of Steel (Man of Steel 2, Cousins of Steel, or Man of Tomorrow) on
Also, here are some locations for him to film this movie in and for specific purposes:
*Brazil (Where Superman and Supergirl at the start of the film confront Metallo and his gang of Mercenaries to rescue Lois Lane and local villagers)
*Chicago, Illinois (the setting for Metropolis)
*Egypt (Where Supergirl goes to battle a band of terrorists and human traffickers on her own while Superman is away instead of North Korea)
*Studios at Atlanta and Fayetteville, Georgia and Los Angeles, California (to film the scenes of Superman confronting Brainiac inside his ship and more involving all the action, including Kal-el's encounter with Kara's parents inside the Kryptonian city captured by Brainiac)
*Raleigh, North Carolina (the city where Supergirl has her epic fight with Silver Banshee, serving as a more appropriate setting for Snyder to film instead of a fictional town controversially named after a confederate general)
*Tunisia or Jordan (location for Khandaq, the home country of Black Adam for much of the film's climatic battle to take place in)
*Democratic Republic of the Congo (the perfect place to film Superman's final battle with Brainiac)
The following events in the potential sequel for Man of Steel would help layout the groundwork for the Snyderverse's continuation leading up to the second and third Justice League films that would bring about Knightmare as an apocalyptic reality Batman and the rest of Earth's mightiest defenders must confront and the movie itself would also build up to more of what the Snyderverse should have in store for us once revive. While we continue through this page, we must allow Cavill to not only stay alive, but also continue his career in other projects like Warhammer so that he's not being strained of his talents. Oh, and we should make sure that everyone Snyder originally had on board for this sequel returns to helm it and not allow artificial intelligence to take up too much of the work. We certainly don't want to allow any more tricks to come about and mess up the whole thing. Plus, people would love to see plenty of screentime out of some of the main characters not just to fulfill fan service, but also so that fans and viewers can get to know them more and understand each one's back story. It will also have the same tone as the first Man of Steel film from 2013 as well.
Next is Batgirl, a movie that was cancelled last minute, last year by Warner Bros Discovery after WB and Discovery Plus merged together and it resulted in numerous projects for DC films and HBO Max being cancelled. Now, if Batgirl were to be revived and part of Zack Snyder's restored vision, some reshoots and extentions would need to be added to make the film more flawless and effective for the general public to witness. Especially with the suit. It looked more like cheap cosplay material than actual armor when the image was released, but with Snyder's vision, this is what we'd expect Leslie's suit to look like in the film either throughout the movie or at the end.
Same can be said for Brandon Fraser's Firefly
Also, there's still room for other characters like Killer Moth where certain actors like Norman Reedus would fit the role of the character.
And for a potential twist of creativity and course correction, Ruby Rose or Abbie Cornish for Livewire as the main antagonist for this remake of Leslie Grace's Batgirl movie
JK Simmons to reprise his role as Commissioner Gordon
And with Ben Affleck reprising his role as Batman instead of Michael Keaton to make sure that Leslie's Batgirl is officially part of the Snyderverse.
Here are the comics to base this movie on
Also, while doing the fights scenes, make sure Batgirl puts up a real good fight against the bad guys with more action than what Hamada's cut originally had and please, less politics, less woke heavy content and less political activism if you're going to include certain characters of different race or gender so it doesn't deter people from going to see the film. Afterall, the Incredibles 2 got it right on how to feature them if look at the $1 billion + dollars it made at the 2018 box office. And if Ivory Aquino is to reprise her role as Alysia Yeoh, I will leave it up to all of you and Snyder himself to decide whether or not her character should appear in his version of Batgirl.
Now we come to the unproduced Batman standalone which would have starred Ben Affleck. Now while some of us are not familiar with what Snyder had in mind for Batfleck, this provides us with the opportunity to present the famed director with the comics to base this standalone off of. But why make it just one movie when it can be divided into two like Rebel Moon and the perfect storyline for Snyder's Batman movies to be based on would help put the long runtime of movies directly to the test. Therefore, the batman movies would be based on the Knightfall storyline. Now here are some of the cast for the films to include.
Ben Affleck as Batman
Jeremy Irons as Alfred
Boyd Holbrok or Rick Cosnett as Jean Paul Valley
Charlie Heaton to play Robin Tim Drake
Tenoch Huerta to play Bane
Edgar Ramierez to play Bird
Brian Ortega to play Trogg
Dani Rovira to play Zombie
Jay Leto to return as the Joker
Stephen Merchant as the Scarecrow
JK Simmons as Commissioner Gordon
Alyssa Diaz as Renee Montoya
Paul Wesley as the Riddler
Tómas Lemarquis as Victor Zsasz
Brandon Fraser to play Firefly
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje to return as Killer Croc
Morena Baccarin to play Catwoman
Miles Teller or Ben Lloyd Hughes for Nightwing
Gong Li as Lady Shiva
James Corden to play Maxie Zeus
and if Snyder and fans are looking to go full circle with some of what they had in mind before the shakeup, YES! For the final act of the third part in a slight twist from where the storyline goes after Bruce Wayne's fight with Jean Paul Valley, Deathstroke is to be the villain for Batman to fight and Joe Manganiello will be more than willing to reprise his role.
This may not be the complete list of characters we've all seen from the storyline, but I'm sure Zack and his team can take care of the rest of the casting once this trilogy is confirmed and have this potential Knightfall trilogy filmed in Toronto, Chicago and Philadelphia for epic fights. Here are the Knightfall comics for this potential trilogy to be based on.
Sure, some of you say that this isn't needed because there's still a script of Ben Affleck's Batman movie, but didn't some people say that the script to the film got scrapped? Well, who knows? This proposal will still stay in place.
Now we come to the Flash on what he in the else worlds Snyderverse will be doing. Here, he will be focused on getting his father out of jail and come face to face with his arch enemy Professor Zoom. This movie will be based on the New 52 comics where Flash fights Professor Zoom and here are some of the talents that we would like to see in this movie.
Barry Keoghan is to replace Ezra Miller as Barry Allen aka the Flash to avoid further controversal backlash triggered by Miller's series of criminal misconduct as well as WBD using him as part of their escapism from continuing the Snyderverse.
Billy Crupe to reprise his role as Henry Allen
Johnny Whitworth to play Eobard Thawne aka Professor Zoom. The arch enemy of Barry Allen who murdered his mother Nora when he was just a kid. Like Brainiac from Superman, Professor Zoom is another super villain that Warner Bros has held back from bringing onto the big screen by pulling off a bait and switch with the Flash movie instead featuring a made-up character that literally tarnished the DC brand and people's trust in the studio. It is precisely why a potential sequel for this movie should have Thawne aka Professor Zoom as the main villain but should also base the plot of the film on the New 52 storyline and should be made under Zack Snyder's leadership.
Bella Thorne is either to replace Kiersy Clemson for the role of Iris West or just let the African American actress reprise her role while guaranteeing that there will be no more forced race swapping. I mean, it not only bothers people, but also confuses them and is starting to become more political than "progressive" these days and surely, we've seen plenty of movies and shows with characters being race swapped and if you know what's good for everyone, please stop. So when Snyder does get the chance to continue his work and get the Flash movie he had in mind before his departure from Warner Bros, then we can decide whether or not Clemons should stay or be replaced by Bella Thorne and heck with whatever controversy it sparks.
Maribel Verdú to return as Nora Allen
Steve Buscemi as Captain Darryl Frye
Frieda Pinto as Malani
Claudia Doumit to play Block
Atandwa Kani to play Folded Man
Seth Carr As Wally West
Dave Franco as Roscoe Dillan
Matt Gerald as Double Down
Stone Cold Steve Austin to portray Girder
Jared Padalecki as Selkirk
Bookem Woodbine to play Tim
Finn Wolfhard for Hartley
This Flash movie will be based on the storyline where Barry finally takes down Thawne in the New 52 and brings him over to the police to have him prosecuted for murdering his mother.
Moving on, we have a spin off revolving around the Justice Society of America. They recently appeared in Black Adam 2022 and having a big movie with them would literally hype up the fan base even more. Yes, diversity is important, but if you look back to the casting formula the people that produced the Stargirl television series used, you'd get why it's best to always stick with the sourced materials from the comics and not have to race swap, gender swap, or be forced to violate characters on how they look. Still, because of how close Johnson's movie came to helping get the Snyderverse back together before the movie's ticket sales began to decline after its first week at the box office, only 3 out of the 4 JSA members from the movie can return the way they are and they are
Aldis Hodge as Hawkman
Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher
and Quintessa Swindle as Cyclone
Elle Fanning as Stargirl
Xochitl Gomez to play Yolanda Montez/Wildcat
May Calamawy to play Hawk Woman
Tom Cruise to play Dr Mid Nite
Adam Pally to play STRIPE
Alfie Allen to play Sandman
Bradley Cooper to play Rex Tyler Hourman
Emma Fuhrmann to play Jesse Quick
RJ Cyler to play Mister Terrific
and here are the villains for the movie that will make up the Injustice Society
Peter Serafinowicz to play Icicle Sr (Leader of the ISA and main villain of the film)
Isaac Hempstead Wright to play Icicle Jr
Tom Vaughan-Lawlor to play Brainwave
Jay Ryan to play Per Dagaton
Colin Firth to play the Fiddler
Jared Harris as the Gambler
Tom Hardy for Sportsmaster
Levi Tran to play Tigress
Peter Capaldi to return as the Thinker
Tom Ellis to play Wizard
Benedict Cumberbatch to play the Shade
Alyssa Sutherland to play Harlequin
Andy Serkis to play Ultra Huminite
Terry Notary to play Solomon Grundy
Here are two comics to read in order understand the Justice Society more.
This is part 1 of the plan for director Zack Snyder to continue bringing out his full vision of the DCEU while keeping it in a universe separate from the DCU. Stay tuned for part 2 and be sure to share this article with other major DC fans out there who are interested in restoring the Snyderverse and be sure to comment on what you think of this masterpiece for part 2. Remember, if we succeed, tell Warner Bros No Flashpoint movie to undo what they have in mind. Just use the multiverse to set course with continuing Snyder's vision with Man of Steel 2 with Cavill and Calle as the cousins of steel and with Brainiac and every other villain shown in this post as the bad guys to use and who to play them. Also, we're going to need Zack to hire the same people who worked on the action sequence for John Wick Chapter 4 to help him do action scenes for his films beginning with MOS2. We love how he had the tone to Man of Steel and Batman Vs Superman set up and that's where we love for him us it in the long overdue sequel to the 2013 film and if anything happens in attempts by the studio to prevent the continuation of Zack's work with upcoming live action or animated movies, we'll use another earth parallel to the DCEU's main universe to continue. Also, we must ensure that every character/ip remains in the DC brand and accounted for.
Keep up the good work and keep up the fight and make sure the studios don't use AI as an obstical to getting these films compete!
