After months of speculating and rumors, DC Films recently set the record straight about the plans for its upcoming slate. And it sounds like fan-favorite director and DC Comics writer Kevin Smith is a fan.

In a recent interview with ScreenRant, Smith was asked about the trajectory recently laid out by DC Entertainment's various executives. The films will generally share the same continuity, while focusing on more creator-based stories than connecting to every film. And according to Smith, that's a pretty fascinating way of going about it.

"I know they're deviating from the Marvel template of, like, 'We'll make a bunch of characters, and then a reunion movie. Buncha characters, reunion movie.'" Smith explained. "Instead, Warner Brothers seem to be going with, 'Well, we tried that, and we're gonna keep doing it on the side, but we're not gonna limit ourselves. We're gonna do a bunch of other interesting things.' They're trying to forge their way in the superhero space. So I think it's interesting, I'm not against that at all."

As Smith put it, fans have almost become inundated with the shared universe concept in recent years, and that Warner Bros. shouldn't feel obligated to do it in every movie.

"And then you have some people—I'm a purist, so I love when things are interconnected, as well, but I grew up in an era where there was a Batman movie, there was a Superman movie, and they didn't really reference each other." Smith revealed. "One time George Clooney was like, 'This is why Superman works alone' and we got our nipples hard, we were like, 'Aaah, they know each other.' So now we live in a world where these movies can cross over and stuff, I'm happy to get the ones that can, but if they don't cross 'em over that's totally okay with me. As long as they're good, as long as they try."
