Why do bad movie directors still get work?

For example despite Batman/Superman's scathing reviews, WB hasn't kicked Zack Synder to the curb and he's still returning for Justice League.

I also see this happen with constant other movies. Mediocre or bad movie directors are still hired for new films. Why does this happen? Is there no quality control?

The only bad director I can think of is Uwe Boll.

"A captain goes down with his ship but a movie director gets many other tries".

That's what I learned from Velma in Lego Scooby Doo: Haunted Hollywood.

Wise words for a Lego Scooby-Doo short. I guess it is pretty hard to truly fail in Hollywood, unless you do something disastrous like Josh Trank and Fant4stic.

He's probably contractually obligated to. If you haven't noticed, WB is taking as much power as they can from him.
