I don't think we can properly judge what direction WB is going in with only one film under their belt. I say it, time and again, but keep in mind, too, that these are not official press releases.Ray Fisher as Cyborg? Report from Variety's "sources" (remains unconfirmed by WB over one month later). Jason Momoa as Aquaman? "Report" from HitFix (no official word from WB); also a rumor that popped up a few months ago (which Momoa, himself, stated was ridiculous). DC's upcoming "schedule" another "report" from Nikki Finke; a very hit and miss entertainment journalist. So, if it's overcrowding that makes you think they're going the "action/spectacle" route, then, perhaps you should know that a good 75% of that "overcrowding" is unsubstantiated rumor.
Hell, even though it's official, we don't even know what's going on with Justice League. WB said it's Snyder's next film after Batman v. Superman, but, even then, with no release date in sight, who's to say that we don't see some solo films from other directors beforehand? Granted, the speculation could be totally true, and they just aren't ready to announce it, but it could also be exactly what we know it to be: rumor. I'm thinking we'll find out more at SDCC, but, until then, I'm forming no opinions, either way, other than those I've formed from what I've seen, so far, in an official capacity.
: what did he do?
