Just like they are with Infinity War. Thanos = Steppenwolf.

Exactly.
Are they just going to steal all of their ideas from the vastly superior DCEU?!

Just like they are with Infinity War. Thanos = Steppenwolf. Infinity War was being planned as far back as 2012 with the Avengers end scene, which predates the DCEU as a whole.

I agree DC beat Marvel to the punch with a female superhero movie, and a good one at that. But you are incorrect about them playing catch up with Infinity War.
Steppenwolf = Loki. The lieutenant to the true big bad: Thanos = Darkseid.
So in this case, it was more Marvel catching up to DC.

The nonsensical opening of this thread makes me suspect Power Ranger might be a DC-Fan sock. I know he isn't, but seeds of doubt were sown briefly

Pretty big stones required to suggest Marvel is copying DC when the entire DCU wouldn't even exist without Marvel doing the MCU first.
As if DC was doing anything bold with WW. WB had the rights to do a WW movie since the 70s and just got around to it in 2017? And since WW was their 3rd biggest character....what else would they do as they tried to play catchup to the MCU? Of course WW was going to be next. They weren't making a Black Widow or Ms Marvel movie or anything. It was freaking Wonder Woman.
DC fans should be thanking Marvel for finally forcing WB to make the WW movie. WW was the movie playing catchup.

DC fans should be thanking Marvel for finally forcing WB to make the WW movie. WW was the movie playing catchup. Especially when Wonder Woman was just them making Captain America: First Avenger combined with Thor. It was already done. Civil War was the logical upcoming movie for Marvel so what does DC do? BvS. A team of outlaws? Suicide Squad. Upcoming movies are Aquaman and Shazam. One is a movie about the heir to the thrown of a hidden kingdom returning home to fight for the thrown. The other is a movie about a high school student that is also a superhero. Black Panther and Spider-man Homecoming? Why haven't we gotten Nightwing yet? Are they waiting for a movie they can copy? Black Widow is a spy and an acrobatic martial artist that uses a couple of escrima sticks as weapons. Maybe after that movie comes out? Maybe... Oh and I forgot about Green Lantern. Fighter pilot that gets his powers from a dying alien. They keep talking about Green Lantern, but nothing moves forward. Maybe after Captain Marvel. Flash has had so many directors leave. He has been compared to Spider-man in Justice League. Why not get the guys that wrote Spider-man Homecoming?

(Assuming what you say is actually correct...I know you have a place in the meetings held at Marvel & DC so it must be) And yet Marvel managed to release their film just a month later, receive much higher critic and audience scores and destroy them at the Box Office. Hilarious.

Pretty big stones to suggest DC is copying Marvel when the entire MCU wouldn't even exist without Superman: The Movie. Don't be a cock. If you think DCEU has not in any way tried to emulate what the MCU template then you are an idiot. If you cannot see the glaring similarities between the films by both studios, then you are a bigger idiot than than that I think MCU fans should thank DC for making their films so much better by comparison...not that DCs help was needed

Comic movies would exist without Superman the movie, just like superhero comics would exist without Superman.

Wasn't DC going to make MoS 2, but changed it to include Batman? There was no plan to make BvS. But the storyline for Stark and Rogers was headed toward Civil War since Avengers.

DC had WB to make their movies for decades and just got around to WW in 2017. Hardly impressive.

Kinda looked like DC tried to lift an entire subplot from Civil War for JL. A good breakdown of how Marvel did it well and DC missed the mark: I happen to like JL but didn't care for that "Flash".
