This is just an alternate idea for a new DCEU. This would make Zack Snyder's Justice League and the Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad 2016 canon to the DCEU, while also creating several retcons and introducing new heroes that would coexist with the original DCEU heroes, including the planned and now canceled DCEU films, as well as recasting some of the originals.
