No they tried to compete with the Avengers and focus on Justice League which was a a gamble that they lost....
Exactly, they couldn't top MoS so they retired its jersey and moved on to the JL. If MoS was as shytty as WW, Aquaman, Shazam or the Suicide Squad, WB would've been forced to make a sequel.

Snyder’s Superman is mostly for people who don’t like Superman.
Mission failed if that's the case. It made me like him even less. He just came off as a bored dikkhead. Superman is supposed to make you feel hopeful, not like he's too good to be in the movie.

He's the worst superman and it's not cavill's fault, it's Snyder being obsessed with the power superman has and completely missing the point that the fantasy isn't the power he has, the fantasy is that someone with that kind of power could ever be a genuinely good person who can empathize and relate to people with far less power than him. What makes him special is that while he CAN solve problems with violence, he takes no joy in doing so and tries to avoid it. He's supposed to represent humanity at its best, not just be a really strong guy that's bummed out about the fact that people want him to help them.

The same reason Star Trek Into Darkness gets such hate. It took a bunch of bits of bits from a popular iteration and remixes them without understanding why that previous version worked. So not only does it not work, it makes itself look less competent in comparison.

Once Snyder got the chance to do something that spoke to him more with BVS we got ZuckerLex and an undercooked DKR Batman.
