It was obvious he shouldn’t have been let hear Superman after that. Going from Snyder to Abrams is like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.

It was obvious he shouldn’t have been let hear Superman after that. Going from Snyder to Abrams is like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. WB giving carte blanche to a visionary director isn't necessarily a bad idea... if the director 'gets it'. WB sort of did that with Nolan- though he should have let Nolan see things through and kill off Batman in his version as he wanted for TDKR--- (I know WB was gantry worried about toy sales and box office in doing that, so I would have loved to have been in the board room when they discussed Tony Stark's death and Endgame's box office success that contradicted that logic.) Sony forced Venom down Raimi's throat--- and ruined what would have been a pretty good Spiderman 3. So sad.... but it seems like they were fine with his first two with no interference (that I'm aware of). I know I'm a broken record saying Singer was the perfect choice- a high quality director who was also fanboy. Mistakes made in the first SR film would have hopefully been made up for in a sequel. WB either just had too much trust that Nolan was going to be quality control producer on MOS- or they just thought it was fine and have no clue on these things. As is... It really still seems like "throw the spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks". Pity.

I think you can do that if you properly vet any director first and are on the same page before you hire them. Seems like they never did that with Snyder. They just trusted he could do it after he’d had some early success.
They’d already given Snyder freedom on Watchmen and we’re still high on him after 300 did big business. I think they honestly believed he could deliver WITH Goyers script. Seems like Nolan was pretty clear he’d be hands off at a certain point in the production once he was busy with the dark knight rises. I think more than anything WB was hoping for some Nolan influence but most of all they wanting his name on MOS to pull in the audience both causal and fanboy. They knew there was a level of trust there that the audience had in Nolan. I wouldn’t say Singer was the perfect director for Superman but with a proper producer helping him he could have delivered something excellent. He needed someone to help him were he had weaknesses and to suggest where his film needed changes. He needed someone like a Gary Kurtz instead of a yes man like a Rick McCallum.
