Do you mean you think Warner Bros should and will reboot everything or you know they will?
Yeah, I'm talking about what I think should do..

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is now playing in theaters and has become a commercial success for Warner Bros. Pictures – though, as the film meant to fully usher in the DC Extended Universe, it’s very much a mixed success when you take the critical reception and general word of mouth into consideration. Zack Snyder’s superhero movie has nevertheless performed well enough as a whole to keep the DCEU moving forward as planned, at a time when WB isreported to be readjusting its strategy in the aftermath of 2015: a year in which the studio released such expensive box office duds as Jupiter Ascending, Pan, and In the Heart of the Sea (among others).
WB’s new approach is said to include releasing fewer films annually (in particular, non-franchise films), in addition to more installments in what are currently the studio’s most lucrative franchises; including, the DCEU, the LEGO Movieseries, and the Harry Potter/Wizarding World property. Cast in point: the studio has now set release dates for two additional DCEU movies, in addition to having shifted director Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman solo movie to a less competitive release date and bumped Andy Serkis’ motion-capture The Jungle Book adaptation from 2017 to 2018.
THR is reporting that WB has moved Wonder Woman‘s release date up three weeks from June 23rd to June 2nd, 2017. The move’s not a huge surprise, as the film – which will reveal the DCEU origin story for Gal Gadot’s Diana of Themyscira – has been expected to move since Paramount Pictures also staked out June 23rd, 2017 for the theatrical release of Transformers 5, back in February. Jenkins’ DC superhero film is now gearing up to face Bad Boys 3 during its opening weekend at the box office, but the latter definitely has less box office muscle than a Transformers film. Given that Gadot’sWonder Woman is the element of Batman V Superman that has generated the most positive buzz, it also seems fair to assume she will win her box office showdown with the Will Smith/Martin Lawrence action-comedy reunion.
WB has also scheduled two untitled DC films to hit theaters on October 5th, 2018 and November 1st, 2019, respectively, while at the same time shifting the theatrical release date for Serkis’ Jungle Book from October 6th, 2017 to October 19th, 2018. Serkis has already taken to Facebook to voice his support for the release date change; after all, the move will not only give his film an extra year of distance from Disney and director Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book(which hits theaters on April 15th of this year), but also additional time for the extensive post-production process that’s required to bring its motion-capture animal characters fully to life.
Currently, there are two potential DCEU films that read as being likely candidates to take the new dates claimed by WB. One is Suicide Squad 2, a sequel to the David Ayer-directed DC super-villain ensemble action/thriller that will be released in theaters this August. It was previously reported that WB, acting under the belief that Ayer’s movie will be a critical/commercial success, has tentatively settled on a 2017 production start for the Suicide Squad sequel, in order to give Ayer and his Suicide Squad star Will Smith time to first make their supernatural buddy-cop thriller, Bright (a movienow set up at Netflix). If accurate, that points to the Suicide Squad sequel being the DC movie that’s first in line to take the October 2018 date staked out by WB – once the project is granted an official green-light, of course
Meanwhile, the November 2019 date may go to the Batman solo film that Ben Affleck is poised to both headline and direct, drawing from his own script. Affleck’s iteration of the Caped Crusader, like Gadot’s Wonder Woman, is generally agreed to be a high point of Batman V Superman, which is why many fans (us included) are pushing for WB to fast-track development on the DCEU Batman solo film. Seeing as Affleck still needs to finish editing his next directorial effort, the historical crime drama/thriller Live By Night, in addition to filming his role for Snyder’s Justice League Part One (and then promote both films), right now the better bet is on Affleck’s Batman movie arriving in 2019, rather than 2018.
Of course, there are other possible candidates for these newly-announced mystery DC film release dates – including a second DCEU Superman film starring Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel – and it’s more than likely that WB will continue to restructure its release date docket over the next few years, when it comes to all of its major tentpoles. As always, we will keep you posted.

Apparently those rumors of Suicide Squad reshoots were correct as filming is underway in Los Angeles.
movie's own tech advisor confirmed it's studio-mandated reshoots because the movie was "too dark".

I personally loved the Batman v. Superman movie and a lot of other people did too but it wasn't enough to overshadow the negative reaction especially sinc enearly every major critic shytted on it. I think it definitely shook Warner Bros but I feel things will get better over the years. Suicide Squad, Justice League Part One, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, Shazam, a rumored Batman solo film and Justice League part 2 all within the next three years

I'm confident in Justice League next year. I loved Dawn of Justice and I'm excited for Justice League. The only thing I can suggest is adding more jokes since everyone is whining about it being serious. I don't want it to be excessive jokes like in Age of Ultron but a little here and there. I think this will come from The Flash or Green Lantern. I'm leaning towards Green Lantern since The Flash we're getting is Barry Allen who is the more serious Flash compared to Wally West who was the funnier one.
