They let Nolan fukk it up. You can't give Superman the same brooding, somber tone as Batman.
Rumor: George Miller to direct Man of Steel 2?

Except Man of Steel did make loot. Uncle just caught a bad one coming out during the NWA hysteria, its actually a dope movie and he's dope in it

Nolan has far less to do with Man Of Steel than WB liked to pretend. That shyt was all Snyder and Goyer and Nolan pretty much got an Executive Producer credit for some minor creative consulting so WB could plaster his name all over marketing.

What's the point of Batman vs Superman(other than money) if there's a Man of Steel 2?

man of steel was not the launching pad for henry cavill's career people thought it might be. he's been in next to nothing since then and in the years to come he may very well end up taking a back seat to ben affleck in what was supposed to be his own franchise.
and come on man from uncle bricked pretty bad. not saying that sits squarely on henry's shoulders but it's not helping his case either. as of right you CANNOT tell me this guy is a star.

I mean it's cool you liked him but uh most are saying he was kinda miscast. Definitely want to see the movie though.
I mean they talking about a Batman trilogy at the same time saying MOS 2 is on hold? Sounds kinda fukked up for a supposedly major character.

Who are these people saying he's miscast when he was a fan nominated character for the role since like 02? The funny thing about Man from UNCLE is, he acts more like Clark Kent/Superman in that than in Man of Steel

It shouldn't be given he was acting in known tv shows and films for about a decade before that movie came out
Look, all of this is speculation...the whole Affleck directing a new Batman movie is still a rumor because I have yet to see an official press release from WB about it; George Miller directing MOS 2 is a rumor; this supposed "permanent hold" is a rumor.
The only concrete facts we know are that neither a solo Batman movie or a MOS sequel were on the schedule that WB put out for their DC Comics movies.

As for Cavill, let us just say that the line between phlegmatic suavity and downright dullness is rather more easily breached than the Berlin Wall.
The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
...the chemistry between bumbling Hammer and Cavill is akin to that between wood and stone...What is Alicia Vikander, the best actress extant, doing in this junk? Her character is little more than a McGuffin. She shouldn't be slumming like this.
Movie Review: The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Reliably wooden Henry Cavill (Man of Steel) plays Napoleon Solo, a quippy art thief turned CIA agent.
IndieLondon: The Man From UNCLE - Review - Your London Reviews
The leads are good too. Cavill is as charming as he is clinical and very good at dry, deadpan delivery
'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' one fun period spy flick
Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer inhabit the roles of Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin, originated by Robert Vaughn and David McCallum. They're slick, handsome spies -- Cavill's Napoleon might have been Cary Grant's long lost cousin, while Hammer's Kuryakin seethes with constant rage.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. | Film review - Retro chic spy caper with a champagne cocktail’s effervescent fizz
Henry Cavill’s Solo, suave art thief turned equally debonair CIA operative, displays the unruffled ease that nonchalant Italians call sprezzatura...Cavill and Hammer’s chalk-and-cheese chemistry is a delight
'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' Review: Iconic '60s Spy Series Adaptation A Blast From The Past
But what really makes it hum is the unexpectedly cool pairing of Henry Cavill (Superman) as Soloand Armie Hammer, sporting a nifty Russian accent, as Kuryakin...These two have a real easygoing chemistry and quick wit in delivering the sharply amusing dialogue from writers Lionel Wigram and Ritchie
The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Henry Cavill (Man of Steel) is perfectly cast as Napoleon Solo, a dandy-ish American womanizer who parlays art thievery into international espionage and speaks innuendo as fluently as James Bond. Cavill (himself British) nails the square-jawed American accent (“Nat-zi”). He thoroughly enjoys exaggerating his American-in-Europe excess

OK couple the reviews I posted with the box office. This is at best a wash for Mr. Cavill, it will not help his career immensely.

man from uncle is still in theaters and people barely know it exists. a year from now and that movie will be completely unknown.
there are still ppl who don't know the name of the guy playing superman after watching the BVS trailer. that's a big tell.
how you gonna fukk up the most recognizable superhero in the game 
couldnt even get a legit sequel of his own movie, now they phased him out for batman and threw a bunch of other characters in there
it made loot cause its superman. the actual view of the movie is very polarizing

I'd argue that being polarizing doesn't make something not a success though for real. Now we'll see what they do going forward but polarizing is still a thing that accounts for reviews and internet echo chambers, not people who don't give a shyt about critics or what cats on the internet say.
