    The lack of caring and eventual failure of the DCEU was evident at the very beginning with 'Man of Steel' when they couldn't take the time and effort to include the yellow 'S' symbol on the back of Superman's cape. They were instead satisfied with him wearing a red bed sheet on his back.

    Man of Steel BVS Wonder Woman and the Syndercut was an amazing set of movie that could’ve led to something special but the studio wanted to copy marvel and the fans simply didn’t understand Zach was building the characters we know them. He didn’t want to give us the heros how we know them from the start.
    2017 Josstice League is what killed DCEU it didn’t help they took out 30min of BVS too. I love BVS and I like the 3 movies and the overall story they told leading to Justice league but I wouldn’t have been mad if they build up to BvS.

    The DCEU failed because of poor planning, awful writing, weird tones, and a complete lack of understanding of DC heroes. I feel like fans put too much blame on Snyder he was part of the problem but the real problem was Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers will always be the greatest enemy in the DC Universe. They constantly destroy DC's reputation with their terrible decisions. As much as I hate the Snyderverse the Snyder Cut was really enjoyable. It's the best Snyder film since Dawn of the Dead. But it wasn't good enough to save the DCEU. Hopefully now that DC has their own studio the DCU can thrive. I'm tired of DC being stuck in Marvel's shadow they deserve better.

    It all started with WB's obsession with trying to copy Christopher Nolan's success by hiring Zack Snyder. His tone and vision were so limiting. His need to change the characters to "fix" them only continuously pushed fans away. And WBs need to rush everything only resulted in further failure. WB deserved to lose every penny.

      @The_Vizo true, but they clearly had different visions. That's why they kept butting heads.

They wanted to do something that was safe.

    It’s not really Snyder’s fault, though some of his decisions I did criticize. It’s really WB’s fault this universe was a failure. Instead of making BVS, they should’ve made MOS 2, or Ben Afleck’s Batman movie instead of BVS. Look I respect opinions if people defend that movie, but I thought it was terrible. WB messed up because they wanted to make some of that MCU money, and they could’ve if they didn’t mess up. I’m not a huge Snyder fan in terms of his filmography, but they should’ve at least respected him and release his cut of justice league and not the Joss Weadon version.

      WB didnt write BvS, Snyder had complete creative control with that movie he just f'ed it up, that movie was the true breakimg point of the DCEU if you think about it, not only bc of the bad reception but also bc of the narrative decisions Snyder made, like why tf would you k1ll 0ff DICK GRAYSON off screen?? That alone completely eliminates both the Batfamily bc of no Red Hood and no Court of Owls, and the expansiveness of the universe's legacy bc no Teen Titans and no Young Justice, and let's not even get into how he completely ruined the Death of Superman arc and then revived him immediatly after so no Reign of Supermen arc. You can't say Snyder has no blame when he literally single handedly cr1ppled an enormous chunk of the narrative potential of the DC mythos just bc he wanted to impose his edgelord cynical views on superheroes.

    I think the DCEU started at the wrong place and time. Avengers 2012 preceded Man of Steel, leading WB to rush to compete with them. They should have made several standalones leading to Justice League.
    Phase 1
    Man of Steel
    The Dark Knight
    Wonder Woman
    Aquaman
    Man of Steel 2 (essentially B v S)
    Cyborg (Vic Stone's new origin with the Mother Box can be traced back to Darkseid)
    Justice League (Snyder Cut version)
    Phase 2
    Green Lantern (I know Ryan Reynolds technically was supposed to be the DCEU Hal Jordan)
    WW 2
    Martian Manhunter
    Aquaman 2
    Shazam
    Suicide Squad
    Blue Beetle
    Justice League 2 (with Martian Manhunter, Blue Beetle, Green Lantern, and Shazam joining them(

    Snyder being the architect of the DCEU was its failure just like I believe Gunn will be for the DCU. First, by not completely rebooting the universe and bringing over characters from the critical flop Suicide Squad and financial flop The Suicide Squad, thus reminding people of the trash Snyder-verse. Second, the rollout of this new universe. Him in his James Gunn cosplay in front of a green screen offering up movies and shows general audiences don't know or don't care about. An animated Creature Commandos? As the first installment of Gods and Monsters? I could go on and on but 2 more points. The reveal of Superman covered in dirt, sitting down looking awkward in his ill-fitting suit and pulling on his boots was not the way to get people hyped and I fear previews what's to come, especially after some of the set pics. Then your comment about starting a new connected universe with a Batman who is already middle aged, it didn't work then and it won't work now. Plus with the director of The Flash? My only hope is I think Gunn knows how essential it is for Superman to work and that the actual film will be the best we've ever gotten. Superman deserves that and after the last decade, the fans do too. We'll see. Sorry for the long comment but your video got me all riled up, lol. But I did subscribe tho!

Jason is my favorite, but from what I read they kinda wanna make him Dick's Joker, and while, yeah, he can be antagonistic to the bats depending on ther writer, he is more interesting as a hero turn villain turn anti-hero. And unfortunally, on the last few years he has been given to be written to people that seem to not like him has a character.
    And the premise given for that rumored movie? Smells like a Dick fan wanting to show how much better Dick is than Jason. (And again, I say this as someone who loves Jason as her favorite, but also am completely capable of saying that I believe that of the Robins Dick is the best as a leader, Jason is best as a mirror for Bruce and the Robins, Tim is the best Robin, and that Damian is with the best character development potential )
