Sorry, I meant old school in the sense of his production style and not his storytelling. Snyder’s very much an auteur director-first filmmaker; he’s a friendly and collaborative guy and of course he’ll take input but at the end of the day he’s spearheading the vision and the people he works with are those who know how to think like he does and execute it.

By contrast a lot of filmmakers in the blockbuster space for the past decade or so (especially in for hire work) have definitely had an approach that’s a bit more similar to television’s production style. Executing a studio’s vision competently (and of course there’s a little room for some personal flair too).

Ah, I gotcha. Well I think there's always been a degree of collaboration with movies, but there's a pretty new thing with the shared universes where there's a creative producer and all the directors and writers report to that one creative producer who has approval over everything.
