Man of Steel should have been a warning for Warner Bros. But they have him BvS and JL...

JL might be saved with the re shoots and editing from Joss.

I mean Marvel Universe wasn't all that in it's early stages, so maybe with some new directors, better CGI and more steady comic book material. DCEU will pick up and take over with Marvel's hiatus after Infinity war.

i use to think so but he has good inputs and visuals n fights are good. he shld not have steered the ship or gotten so much control, he dosen't get characters entirely and comes off as a fanfic type of director more in line to what he thinks should happen vs what really should happen. mos was fire

He's good with the visuals, but story-telling is not his strong suit. At all.

I'll never understand why he had to squeeze 'Death Of Superman' which could have been a movie (if not two) in it's own right, in with 'Dark Knight Returns' (which could, again have been two movies).

So we ignoring that all the movies are a success ? And Wonder Woman
Yeah the DC Universe should keep at it after WW especially. I'm not really into a mostly Gotham universe like they seem to be proposing but totally looking forward to WW 2, Aquaman, Flash, Shazam, Black Adam, GL Corp, etc. The only announced Gotham related movie I'm excited about is Nightwing.

Wasn't that more Patty Jenkins that Snyder though? I mean I liked WW no doubt but when Zack is strictly hands on directing you dont know what you getting. Justice league definitely has me worried.

BvS should have never happened this early period.

They tried to use elements of The Dark Knight Returns but in that scenario Batman and Superman already had a well established friendship and understanding for decades. They only reason Batman even took it that far was because he knew the type of person Superman was and knew the lines he wouldn't cross.

That's what people don't understand about the whole Batman vs Superman dynamic. Batman's biggest weapon against Superman is that relationship. Batman knows Clark will pull his punches and always hold back.

When you take that away the conflict loses all significance. That's why the main conflict between them felt so awkward and forced when it came to the main fight. The build up was way too fast and sudden.

The awkwardness is going to carry on into JL because I still don't buy the whole Batman ready to kill Superman to Batman wanted to build a better world and team in honor of Superman when he really didn't learn anything new about him other than they share the same mother's name.

I also don't like the personality of this Batman. He's really cool but he lacks the confidents, intellect, and calm that I'm used to seeing in the character. Ben Affleck portrays him paranoid, insecure, and unsure of himself which is fine for a rookie Batman but this Batman is supposed to be experienced.

I'll still see the movie but it kind of sucks that they would drop the ball on so many characters.
