As far as financial goes I think this is a much safer bet than green lighting a VFX heavy production on HBO Max.It would instantly bring on board all the people clamoring for the Snyder Cut.We are talking about a movie that is almost finished so WB has already payed the money for it.The additional costs, I imagine, would be...not much.Plus, they will basically making money on a movie that they have already released.
Also given that Snyder wanted to kill Batman could actually help people get closure on Affleck’s Batman and move on to the new one, so maybe overall the Snyder cut could help DCEU.
It’s true that that Luke give an advantage to Henry to negotiate his part on the DCEU and it will seem bad in case that does not pan out but ket’a face it...MOS 2 with Cavill is a better choice than to have no Superman at all in a freaking DC Universe.Not to mention it would help the continuity of these movies, which right now is a mess.
