Yeah, they got to get the stand alone movies right first before they unite/connect anything.

When the avengers united, Iron Man and Captain America were at least solidified. When Infinity War dropped, you had Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther, Captain America, Spider Man, all with at least one critically acclaimed movie. It became bigger than life.

If you don't have that base established first with the stand alone movies,then you will get JL movie's response.
They didn't do this originally because comic nerds like on here and other places would've been bytching about them copying marvel

They tried another way with various successes and failures so now they are sticking to stand alone films for now. People are still bytching though

Are you referring to Dark Knight Trilogy and MOS?

for that time frame, yes.

But that's not gonna fly nowadays. Plus, you don't want to do the same "type" of Clark again. Especially one that wasn't really an accurate portrayal of the character.
If they went with the Reeves Clark again, the comparisons wouldn't end plus cats would start severely overrating the Reeves Clark out of spite and they agendas.

That Nerd Clark/regular Clark has never been explored as a character. The idea of him overplaying a nerd vs farm boy Clark. Nerds aren’t seen the same as they were in the 70s.

If it were me I would make a standalone universe with each character and cross them over when appropriate. I believe the first time the JL ever came together in the comics they never interacted before. The writers just decided to cross them over.
This is how I thought the DCEU was gonna play out :wow:

Did not think the way things turned out was they were gonna be:wow:

If the movies were good they wouldnt have had to be established in standalones. Everyone has been hype for aquaman and he was just a small part of Justice League. It definitely would have helped but it is really just an excuse and not a good one.

They have zero goodwill.

That's why I laugh at people saying shyt like "they need to tell us their plan" and whatnot. What could they honestly say that wouldn't get spun negatively? Even this mythical reboot people keep begging for would probably get shyt on for one reason or another.

Mind, I'm not saying that attitude isn't justified. If you haven't enjoyed they're post-TDK trilogy films, of course you'd be cynical. However, at this point, it's clear people don't know what they want from this franchise anymore. They know they don't like it as it currently is, but the suggestions on how to make it better are all over the place and often contradictory (how you say you want them to focus on lighter, simpler standalone movies and then say you want a Flashpoint adaptation to usher in a reboot :mindblown:).

The only advantage that WB has right now is that the audiences are fickle and can be easily won back. The answer for them is simple: release good, audience pleasing movies. If Aquaman, Shazam, Joker, and WW84 all come out and do good business while pleasing the crowd, no one will care about this Superman fiasco. Or at least they won't care as much.

Agreed:ehh:Especially on trying to follow fans. Fans and comic fand especially bytch about everything it's better to ignore them and just come through with your own plan then slowly incorporate what people have been fiending for.
