This decision makes more sense than pushing the final film to a new director. I'm sure Abrams has heard criticisms about the lack of originality in TFA. Hopefully, he challenges himself and crafts something singular.

RogueOne1216 wrote:BvS's problems were more WB's fault than Snyder's because they forced him into sacrificing the quality of a standalone movie about Batman and Superman at odds with each other and turning it into a backdoor pilot for the DCEU (per the Dawn of Justice subtitle). Plus, some things like the Martha scene are more to blame on David Goyer than Chris Terrio, who usually writes intelligent things.
That's why I think Justice League will be WAY better than BVS, because Chris Terrio, Jeremy Irons, Geoff Johns, Ben Affleck, Zack and Deborah Snyder said Justice League is supposed to be a fun, straight, coherent, light-hearted, adventurous, plot-and-character focused movie that will work because of a collaborative effort between Snyder, Geoff Johns, Ben Affleck and newly confirmed screenwriter who directed the additional JL filming for Snyder so he could be with his family to mourn the death of their daughter. So, hold off your judgements on Chris Terrio writing Episode IX until JL comes out November 17th.

But nix the Beard's collaboration with John Williams in his 70s and 80s output and you have something uncannily similar to what Abrams is about. But I'm speaking in strictly visually stylistic terms that can be appreciated without any behind-the-scenes insight (i.e. directorial style). That could, of course, suggest a more significant difference. In any case, Abrams' Super 8 and that somewhat obsequious 2007 TED talk showed his hand.

It's funny. My earliest recollection of lens flares in film was through Spielberg's films. CE3K certainly has 'em "up the wazoo." The UFOs in that film are practically unidentified flying lens flares. And Spielberg's second-closest collaborator, Janusz Kaminski, lives and breathes flared light. A trait found in pre-Kaminski Spielberg films, though seldom noted.
But maybe I wasn't specific enough. The shared characteristics I'm referring to involve, beyond lens flares (in a non-pejorative sense), a similar use of long takes, blocking, framing and anamorphic lenses. All coupled with a strong visual effects focus and attachment to celluloid film.
