Jeff Nichols turned down Aquaman!

Quote :

 With the DC universe, so many parts of it had been activated and so many decisions had already been made that it felt more and more – and Warner Bros. agreed – that it was me trying to jump on a moving train”.

The trick with Midnight Special is even though it was made at the studio, [Warner Bros] gave me a lot of control over the process”, he said. “And I don’t just mean control over final cut, but it felt like we were making one of my movies. I had my team. I had my family there. My crew. We made the movie we all wanted to make.

James Wan is a better fit anyway.

That would depend on the vision Snyder and WB want for it.

I think directors are willing to go along with that vision has long has they have enough creative freedom to put their own stamp on things. Unlike Marvel who are too strict with their vision.

Directors can't use their own vision the way they want with DC/WB. They have to fit into the vision Snyder is building - if they don't, they won't be a fit.

To what extent though? Because it looks like David Ayer got away with turning The Joker into Lil Wayne, and introducing "magic" out of nowhere in this "grounded" universe. Where as Marvel has been trying to build up a bunch of thing before they introduces us to magic with The Mandarin Doctor Strange.

Ayer's vision for Suicide Squad is the same exact visual style, aesthethics, humor, characteristics and overall design as Snyder's movies. Anyone who doesn't fit those criterias, doesn't fit into WB/DC's universe.

Snyder movies barely has humor, lol! The closest Snyder movie I can think of that has a good amount of humor is the Dawn of the Dead remake. But even that isn't as playful as the original. I'm sure Snyder can do humor with a good script, though.

I was referring to Snyder's movies in the DCEU... You know, MoS, BvS, etc....

Man of Steel had some humor, but they weren't very well done. Probably the only scene I laughed so hard in Man of Steel was the penis pods. Which was unintentionally funny.

As for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, we have yet to see that movie. So we can't really say.

I was referring to the type of humor in those films and how it's the same with Suicide Squad's trailer. 

Do you even know how to keep a train of thought?

Err... I guess? Suicide Squad looks a lot more funnier, though.
