If you've been critical of Zack Snyder's more lethal depiction of DC Comics superheroes on screen, then the director has some strong words for you.

According to a new report, the DCEU is getting a major shakeup, including walking back some of the overly-ambitious, premature plans of some of its biggest stars.

Forget about Doomsday Clock. Forget about Leviathan, because the DC Universe may be about to be plunged into a war that has all of creation at stake in a manner that makes the original mega-crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths look like a lazy Sunday afternoon siesta in comparison.

There’s a new threat brewing the DC Universe, only this time it isn’t a case of inconceivable power leaking through the broken Source wall or a clash of multiversal energies.
