Another Major Signal From Snyder

The recent photo of Ben Affleck comes after weeks of Zack Snyder sharing images from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) and engaging with fan posts about that era on Instagram. He’s been gradually revealing a collection of photos featuring actors like Henry Cavill as Superman, Jared Leto as the Joker, and Jason Momoa as Aquaman.

Now he’s dropped one of the most iconic BvS moments ever shot.

Today is the anniversary of the Justice League movie’s release, and fans quickly thought a recent post hinted at a possible return to Zack Snyder’s vision for the DC Universe. This speculation was fueled by increased social media activity from Snyder and the original cast of the film.

Saudis Positioned to Restore the SnyderVerse

According to sources familiar with the potential deal, if Saudi Arabia buys Warner Bros. Discovery, they’re likely to revive the SnyderVerse. These sources say the Saudis are aiming for a DC movie universe that can compete with Marvel’s biggest successes, envisioning epic storylines on the scale of films like Avengers: Doomsday.

Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan are seen as leading indicators of a studio’s future direction. Snyder is already involved in Saudi Arabia’s growing entertainment industry with his film Brawler, which is backed by UFC, and Nolan’s ongoing relationship with Universal keeps him connected to Saudi interests both in terms of location and strategy.

Sources close to the deal say Saudi Arabia is aiming to create a new, large-scale cinematic universe with hugely popular franchises, and they believe the best way to do that is by reviving Zack Snyder’s DC Extended Universe. This would mean bringing back Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, and allowing Snyder to finish the story he originally planned.

Fans Push Harder as Snyder Signals Continue

Now that a new image of Batman from Zack Snyder is gaining popularity online, fans of his ‘SnyderVerse’ are using today’s anniversary to push for more discussion about it.

The hashtag #RestoreTheSnyderVerse is trending again on X, fueled by growing signs that changes are happening behind the scenes.

Fans are more excited now than they’ve been since Zack Snyder’s Justice League came out. This is thanks to a consistent flow of behind-the-scenes photos from Snyder’s DC Universe work, rumors about a potential Saudi Arabian investment, and increasing hope that key creators might come back to the project.

If Saudi Arabia finalizes the agreement, sources say the revival of the SnyderVerse will definitely happen – it will move from being a possibility to the official plan.
