Zack Snyder's vision for the DCEU was not confined to a single film but encompassed a grand plan for a Justice League trilogy. Despite the complex nature of the cinematic universe and numerous behind-the-scenes issues, Snyder's vision remained clear and intricate.

Miller was slated to star in a trilogy of Flash movies, ultimately concluding with Flashpoint. Snyder envisioned this major comic book event as a means to reboot the DCEU after a decade, allowing for the introduction of new actors as the iconic DC characters.
