SINISTER SIX!
DC hasnt earned that much trust yet.... cant just blindly have faith in them
The problem with dc is it is owned by Warner brothers and only used and pigeon holed, dc as their gateway viewership wing.
With marvel, it used to be owned solely by themselves.
Then was purchased after pisspoor administrative executive work by Indy hack named Quesada. Afterwards Disney purchased marvel and handled it with extreme public accountability based care, on all fronts.
That even it was able to acquire star wars, and earlier Jim Henson properties because of its care to its high drawing public perceived properties.
So, Disney uses marvel to transition from its children based direction content wise to more adult based content.
That acts as a bridge to everything in its adult wing from film to sports like ESPN and ABC.
Dc, with Warner is not used in the same bridging capacity to adult and more mature content.
So, Warner brothers does not view or respect dc as it should.
All because dc is primarily used to market and build high attrition rate viewership for children.
Then fails to transition them from a gateway capacity.
To a larger more mature content capacity.
Which also creates disconnect with the highest disposable income market.
Where unlike disney/marvel.
warner has not pr'd and hid via marketing.
their scope and perception as a whole like disney does.
Disney expertly has figured out through its cgi based film components.
how to appease mature pop culture audiences under its umbrella internally.
Whereas warner used to acquire companies.
then bully graft their scope and perceived draw upon the companies they acquire.
Plus will show no allegiance to those companies they acquire.
if it will damage their brand ala interscope with gangsta rap and ice t's cop killa brand and music.
Wb also has no main company designated.
or used as a bridge in public or admin perception.
What wb should do is actually bring back the vertigo brand.
Then use it to transition the more serious stock dc characters stories.
that have movie or adult themes like dark knight or a darker superman story in their numerous universes.
Like they used to do when Alan Moore, morrison and those guys got their larger drawing starts..
Yet, vertigo was abandoned.
All because wb/dc is also not very good at marketing their products.
they work on a old Hollywood actors and companies are slaves.
Early Hollywood movie house sheer volume will produce the profit cop and blow model.
Which won't work for character driven pieces.
as convincability in the marketplace for that vehicle has to be kept in tact to make a character series driven franchise work.
Marvel works because it was self owned for longer and when it was purchased by Disney..disney also was desperate for a bridge the gap style company like marvel.
That would aid moving child wing based viewership into the more adult wing models..when there used to a void and disconnect for Disney.
Through the children based CGI FILMS.
Disney cultivated and learned the market for what worked in a pop realm for mature audiences.
through child/parent participation marketing models for the pop realm.
While wb continues to just churn along with its Hollywood film house by volume cop and blow model.
Which will not work in the medium of highly character driven pieces.
meant to be viewed as real respectable long term HIGH quality draws.
