No wonder it took MCU over a decade to have the first female and black led movies - what DCEU successfully managed within 4 films. That was due to Ike Perlmutter And Ike Perlmutter was in charge of MCU so that's MCU's failure. the DCEU owes the MCU everything since without it there'd be no DCEU movies. Actually, MCU owes everything to DC since without Superman: The Movie, there would be no MCU. And deep down, you know that (even MCU Dictator Kevin Feige has admitted that) and that really bothers you and that's why you keep trying to re-write history and come up with your lame "artificial boosters" excuses. LOL!!!

watch the movie, the black lead (Deadshot) shared the lead with a White Woman (Harley) and white man (Flagg). If by complex you mean "Incompetent and nonsensical". All she had going for her was being played by Viola Davis. It's a good movie, but it didn't present its intended message as well as it wanted to. The movie is good except for Jor-El's silly "Space God" stuff and then when they get to Metropolis and we meet Luthor it devolves into full-on Camp. Not to mention that silly ending. Continue to endure and endeavor.

Obstructive, due to being a Majority Shareholder. Nah, there's be CBM movies without that film. Just like comic superheroes would exist without Superman in general. He's expendable.

It's because DC is too busy trying to be different from the MCU while at the same time trying to imitate their shared universe concept and get the same success.
If DC just concentrated on doing their own thing, stopped trying to copy and differentiate themselves from the MCU, stopped trying to copy Nolan's TDK, then they'd be successful.
That's what happened with WW. It was the first DCEU movie that didn't feel like it was trying to copy anything or trying too hard to differentiate itself. It just tried to be a good superhero movie and it worked.

I have to agree with DC Fan with that. The comic book movie genre owes a lot to DC for their TV shows of Superman (50s), Batman and Wonder Woman. While some people might think it is corny now the Batman (Adam West) TV show in the 60s was not just successful but was a pop culture phenomenon that made superheroes very popular to people who didn’t read comic books and made many villains like the Joker, the Penguin, Catwoman and The Riddler household names. It was a known fact a lot of studios didn’t take superheroes seriously before the first ‘Superman’ movie came out and the movie almost didn’t come out ‘cause the studio thought it would flop. It was the success of that movie and the sequel that opened the doors for more comic book movies and Batman helped the movie genre grow even more. If the genre relied on Marvel back then it would have been dead after Howard the Duck, the Punisher, Captain America and Nick Fury. Superman 3 and 4 did some damage but DC fixed that with the success of Batman and Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
The comic book movies of the past two decades owe a lot to the success of the Mask, the Crow, Men in Black and Blade and even Darkman in the 90s. ‘The Crow’ showed that dark superhero movies could be popular and successful and lead to ‘Blade’ getting a chance on screen and 'Men In Black' was technically Marvel's first big hit on the big screen.

I think the credit given to DC for many of those shows and films is a little overstated. Yes they are based on their properties, but they had very little, if any creative involvement, in the TV shows and films. Superman was a success and a benchmark but DC wasn't really involved in the development/production.
DC only really got involved to a point where they could get some credit for what was on screen from after 1990 when they were bought by Time Warner (though the first DC Entertainment production was Steel in 1997).
The same can be said for Marvel (though their ownership of their properties was a real shambles) and Marvel themselves were not really involved in any production to any real extent until Blade in 1998.

Well, I think the real credit should go to Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Bob Kane and Bill Finger and William Moulton Marston since it was their characters which kicked off the comic book/ superhero craze on TV and then in movies just like the success of DC and Marvel is owed to Lee Falk who created the first two superheroes with Mandrake the Magician and the Phantom and came up with superhero costumes and the superhero genre but the creators of the characters are very rarely acknowledged since the businesses steal all the credit from them and when you look back it is not surprising so many of them have had rocky relationships with DC and Marvel with many writers taking them to court.

I wouldn't deny the the influence or importance of any of those pioneers, or of the likes of Lee, Kirby etc who progressed comics and increased their popularity. But when talking about these publishers "making movies" we can only really talk about the films made under their guidance from the 90's.

All I'm asking for is some movies that don't feel like they were written and directed by monkeys. but that is just what the MCU is, accept it. With it dumbed-down kiddy formula it has ruined everything including the quality CMB and other franchises such as Star Wars. Accordingly, great parts of MCU fans like you are brutalized and trivialized sheep bleating "Meeeh, moooar Maaarvel" and think Godfather, CK & Co are bad movies or that calling black people monkeys is ok. No wonder it took MCU over a decade to have the first female and black led movies - what DCEU successfully managed within 4 films. MCU will go down in history for being that infamously huge raccoon turd for immature manchildren. There is no discussion about that. This is hilarious. You cannot really believe this. Any casual movie person who would never be on these boards just sees it as a fact that the MCU makes better movies than the DCEU. They just do. It really cannot even be debated at this point.

He's one of those throwbacks who thinks it's still the year 2000 and comics are something to be ashamed of.
Same way Westerns are something to be ashamed of, since it's the same kind of "run around in silly outfits" stuff he dislikes.

What is the formula they possess and why does DC have such a hard time recreating it? Is Kevin Feige some sort of mystical wizard? Marvel Cinematic Universe: Producers - Marvel Studios DC Extended Universe: Producers - Warner Brothers. Notice the difference. Yes, I know that DC Films is now part of the DCEU, but they aren't as divested from Warner Brothers as is needed.

you are rather one of these throwbacks stuck with comic book reading in his basement and deeply ashamed of graphic novels. You should be ashamed of yourself and admit that raccoon turd movies have destroyed the grown up blockbuster.

I'm afraid considering the degree of soiling those famously huge turd have done to modern cinema no amount of salt will ever make the grown up blockbuster serviceabl again. Look We are merry poopins y'all 🙄

Mary Poppins is a great film, so more power to them.
As for "Grown Up" Blockbusters, all the stuff you dislike about the MCU have been part of major blockbuster movies since the first blockbusters.
EDIT: And if Turds bother you so much, don't read Dune. It revolved around Worm turd.
