Though many of them want the streaming giant to take it up, some of them are concerned regarding its IP and how it may not be possible to do so. Meanwhile, earlier Zack has claimed that he wouldn't consider his DCU movies as a part of Snyaderverse. The director once claimed, "I would hope that anything Snyderverseian is [whatever] we’re doing as original IP. The DC universe is something that’s very close to my heart and something I spent a lot of time developing and thinking about, so I love it. But where I am right now is with the Rebel Moon of it all and the Army of the Dead of it all. They’re very much consuming our creative output. Hopefully, just anything that we’re doing that’s original and cool would fit into that category," reported Screen Rant. 

'Netflix would ruin it more than Warner'

There were various reactions from the users regarding Netflix taking up the Snyaderverse. A user said, "You have to understand that Zack Snyder doesn't own those characters, or the universe. Stop spending grief on you and that cult of the Snyderverse that will never happen." Another added, "If wbd wants to license out the snyderverse to netflix, I'll watch it." "Come on revive The snyderverse and our Superman," wrote another. 

A user added,"When on Earth will people realise that in order for the supposed "Snyderverse" to be sold to Netflix it has to be an IP of it's own. Original characters & everything, but it's 3 movies based on characters owned by someone else. Zack was a mere paid employee, not the owner." Another tweeted, "See i’m going to respectfully rebuttal with a no, I don’t think I will." "Do you have any idea how IPs work? Snyderverse is a part of the DC IP, it isn't it's own thing," wrote a user.

A tweet stated, "Y'know what? Yeah. Netflix will cancel it a third time (will Snyderstans finally get the message?) right after release and easily ignore all the angry fanboys, meanwhile WB can try to make something out of a killer set of IP that hasn't had an actually good movie since Nolan." A user opined, "Netflix would ruin it more than Warner." "Right now it's a great idea to promote, cause they take decisions by saving or earning money, so right now that choice is on that line of thought," a comment read.
