The Unlimited Snyderverse: Phase One

This is the first phase of my take on Zack Snyder's full vision of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), where I rewrite, recast (To some extent), and integrate the first few movies of the DCEU. This "unlimited" take on the Snyderverse takes influences from many DCEU fan theories, such as Jason Todd being the Joker in the Suicide Squad, the Amazonians are descended from Kryptonians (Even though that's technically confirmed to be the Greek Gods but I'll ignore that), and making Zack Snyder's Watchmen canon to the DCEU. My take on the slate of Phase One: Watchmen (2009) Man of Steel (2013) Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition) (2016) David Ayer's Suicide Squad (2016) Wonder Woman (2017) Zack Snyder's Justice League (2017) Aquaman (2018)
