If real, then Zaslav's plan COULD Work. The question is HOW will they reboot? Will they Recast some roles with Problematic Actors? What parts from Snyder's garbage take will be erased and what will stay?
Personally, getting rid of Amber Heard, Ezra Miller, and Ray Fisher would be a start.
Amber Heard being replaced is obvious. She tried to ruin another person's career by making false domestic violence and sexual violence allegations.
Ezra Miller's erratic and dangerous behavior also warrants a replacement actor who would not put in jeopardy the lives of others and the studio's reputation...
Ray Fisher's vendetta against WB makes him defacto persona non grata at WB...
We could Keep both "Josstice League" and "Justice Edgelords" as canon... including rhe gigantic plotholes and other nonsense... incredibly enough, it was Peacemaker the one who can make it happen... or at least a reference dropped on Peacemaker:
Bat-Mite!
Yes, you read right, Bat-Mite is the key, but it's not just Bat-Mite. It's Bat-Mite AND Mr. Mxyzptlk! Using their 5th dimensional powers they tried to pit Batman against Superman with Mxy messing Batman's life, while Bat-Mite messed with Superman's. Both JL movies are how each of them interprets the impending invasion of Darkseid would play out.
The Flash movie could be the catalyst for Bruce to snap out of his dream-like state about 2 years after MOS with Batman still processing losing Jason to the Joker and Dick moving from Gotham with Roy Harper to form a team to train street level vigilantes to defend cities from metahuman criminals. With visions from the Bat-Mite and Mxy induced Knightmares, Batman decides to look into forming a League. Superman also wakes up from the weird reality alterations. He goes to Smallville and discovers both of his parents are alive, but they have debts and the collectors are knocking at their door. Meanwhile, Alexander Luthor Jr. uses his wealth and Lexcorp resources to help rebuild Metropolis... both Bruce and Clark have a bad feeling about that. The idea is to build up the new DCEU with a solo film for Batman and one for Superman. Both storylines would lead to Batman & Superman: World's Finest.
I kinda want to have Knightfall to happen after World's Finest, since Bruce's own fall would be the perfect motivator to keep the Mission alive. He would create The League as a way to hvae someone protecting Earth at a large scale as he manages The Mission in Gotham.
I kinda want to have the Death of Superman near the end, shortly before Darkseid's invasion just to have a weakened League and having to use more C, D-list heroes. Even the Sidekicks would have a more important role. Might even take some cues from the Crises and other events in order have some of the older actors sacrifice themselves for the future... and reboot, like Crisis.
But I'm also leaning heavily into the idea that it's better to start fresh, from scratch and build a coherent universe on a stable foundation, as the prevopusly mentioned ideas are attempts at starting anew while salvaging most of the failed Universe. I guess we'll have to wait until we get official news.
