It is a perfectly reasonable model to work off but wow that Max Lord sure is Tr*mpian.
-
Also, I really hope we're not setting up Wonder Woman to kill Max Lord again just because it exists in the comics, because it was a bad idea then and an even worse idea without the 100s of comics of context needed to make it even slightly make sense.
-
I mean, no Blue and Gold, no Checkmate, no OMAC, & there is no space to hit any of those beats in film context. It's too much, short of an Avengers-level 20+ film cycle. And I don't think audiences will sit around for that storyline, and not just because large chunks were meh.

Also like... We had a while film that climaxed with Superman killing someone and... like no consequences. What would be the point? The Snyderverse robbed all narrative potency a scene like that would have in a film, even if they could pull off the setup.
-
That said: DC's Cinematic Universe should totally be pulling in Checkmate, the version in the 00-era comics has far more interesting narrative possibilities than SHIELD ever did.
-
I was always surprised Snyder didn't pull them in, because it could stop easily be deformed for his approach and the stories he was chasing but honestly, I think he just didn't know they existed.
