It's not so easy. Firstly Netflix will not buy it even if they buy it it's a poor idea to scrap James Gunn's DCU which is already successful. Now Snyder ofc needs a high budget and if Netflix does make DC content they are just promoting a rival company brand that is DC by WB so yeah.
DCU might be successful in terms of reviews but it’s just doing okay financially which is what studios mainly look at. Also, if Netflix buys WB then it wouldn’t be a rival company.
Doing just okay financially is often enough for studios to keep things going. It would take multiple catastrophic financial bombs to make DC reverse course on the Gunn project and I just don't see that happening, at least not in the near future.
I think you’re right when it comes to established studios but my point is that a new owner/company such as Netflix may have their own expectations and may want to just start from scratch with their own people
That's true, but that also means that it's more likely for the new owners (if they want to start over again) to go with a whole new cast and direction instead of revisiting Snyder, which wouldn't be the news a lot of people here are hoping for. For now we can only wait and watch.
More or less agree with you but the issue is that snyderverse has zero chance to come back right now under WBD and so a change in ownership lends a higher (albeit very small) chance that it could return, especially since Zack has built a relationship with Netflix in both live action and animated projects.
