I watched a recap and besides being "woke" it looks kinda bad.

It's my understanding that if Snyder had great ideas, they were shot down by higher ups for being niche relative to budget and target audience. Just incompatible with the production company. The last great conventional superhero movies were the Dark Knight Trilogy and Ironman 1, before Hollywood went overt woke. Even with newer movies that happen to be less woke, the triple A media industry won't take creative risks anymore.
I have the Snyder cut of Justice League, and it is a thousand times better than the released version. More coherent, better paced, a much better movie overall.
I think if DC wanted to flesh out their universe, just give Snyder the franchise, and let him go nuts. He, at least, has a plan.
The part that made me memorably wince was when Wonder Woman gave the no-effort "you can be anything you want" platitude to that random school girl, during her intro hostage scene. Heck that whole sequence was narratively safe and unimaginative girl-bossing. I don't know if that differed in either cut.
Random human schoolgirl: "Can I be like you?"
Literal goddess raised from birth to be fight and empowered with magical artifacts created by another god: "yoU cAn"
She meant to imply that she too could become a BDSM-themed OnlyFans model, rofl.
Snyder isn't a blue ribbon director by any means, but he can make entertaining movies at least.
