I respect that and agree with most, cept the bolded (their character drives aren't too great considering how much injustice they do the bulk of their characters), tho there's still DC for the competitive angle (plus isn't Spawn supposed to be coming back too?). So you'd already have some competitive differences in tone for different brands, which I'm cool with and sure others are just the same (when done correctly, which doesn't mean they have to be MCU to be "correct" either). And despite there being a definitive formula for the MCU made movies (that's obviously proven to work, might I add), they do allow directors to mix it up a bit between some of their movies in some ways as well, with good or mixed results (e.g. Civil War having Zemo kill off the other super super soldiers and the movie ending with a smaller brawl rather than a big one, Iron Man 3 Mandarin twist), which is cool. Thus far, MCU is the only comic book made movies that have actually even made some characters (actually a good deal of them tbh and factually, lol) even better received than their book iterations. Most of these other joints have done the opposite, even among the really good ones (like how in the more "realistic" Nolan-verse, Bat's fighting ability is very muted comparatively). Outside of Deadpool, all these other Marvel movies that have not been made by marvel have looked funny in the light and only shined more light on that marvel's characters done properly is best left in their own hands.
knowing that the Apocalypse in this movie will be way less cool than the Apocalypse in the comics. But now that Singer left... can we hope for a reboot this time?
