The problem with Snyder is that his only real successes came as a frame by frame remake of Moore's Watchmen and Miller's 300. Slight alterations, sure. Generally, he doesn't have it in him to create anything original. It's what made him such a weird choice to run the DCEU. They saw him try Legend of the Guardians and Sucker Punch, so they knew that he had a ceiling to his ability, but they went with him anyway.
WB would have been better served handing the reins to Geoff Johns and just getting out of the way. He would have been fine at the Fiege job of just making sure the storylines made sense, and staying out of writing and directing. (I mean, he could moonlight as a comic writer.)
