Some really interesting choice that I've never thought of. Del Toro for JL Dark seems like a perfect combination. Coppola for Batman is quite good. Brad Bird is also a seemly perfect choice for Superman

David Fincher
Jennifer Kent
Lynne Ramsay
Matt Reeves

They should’ve just ****ing let Zack do TDKR panel for panel. Just like 300 and Watchmen. Would’ve been amazing

Zack should do an R rated Lobo

I think you would need one of these for some of those directors.

SUPERMAN
Brad Bird
JA Bayona
Jeff Nichols
Matthew Vaughn
Sam Raimi
 
Batman Andy Muschetti
Wonder Woman Alphonso Curanon
Superman JA Boyea/Matt Vaughn
Aquaman James Wan/Kevin Williams
Green Lantern Taika Waititi
Martian Manhunter Spielberg
 
Or another DC directors list:

The Batman (franchise)- Alfonso Cuaron/David Fincher
Wonder Woman (franchise)- Patti Jenkins (probably the only good director of the DCEU)

Superman (franchise)- Taika Waititi
Aquaman (franchise)- James Wan/Sam Raimi
The Flash (franchise)- Robert Zemeckis
Green Lantern (franchise)- Guillermo Del Toro
Suicide Squad (franchise)- Matthew Vaughn
Cyborg (franchise)- Darren Aronofsky
Justice League (franchise)- The Wachowski Brothers
 
My ideal directors - skilled filmmakers who have understanding of the material and have passion towards it. It's impossible to know just by looking at previous filmography.
 
Batman - Steven Norrington (Blade) or Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City)
 
Justice League: JJ Abrams
Batman: Rian Johnson
Superman: Alfonso Cuaron
Wonder Woman: Guillermo Del Toro
The Flash: Steven Soderberg
Green Lantern: Christopher McQuarrie
Aquaman: Ridley Scott
Cyborg: Barry Jenkins
Shazam: George Miller
