This is literally everything I've ever wanted. Multiple versions of live-action comic book characters.

First we get movie versions and TV versions of the Flash, then multiple versions of characters in The Flash.

I've always wanted a Batman TV show.

Or multiple movies with no connection like Batman: Year 100, Gotham by Gaslight, Gotham Noir, Nine Lives, Red Son, ohhhh or Batman Beyond!!

This could go on forever on it's own or lead into an epic Crisis on Infinite Earths.

IMO, this is honestly the best thing that DC could ever do for their brand and their films.

If someone doesn't like this Joker, they could watch another version Joker, or another version.

I hope this is what they are doing for sure.

^^ Well, I essentially agree on this train of thought. The "Multiverse" approach would open a lot of storytelling possibilities for great standalone stories and character interpretations that you cannot do with a single universe.

I am increasingly unimpressed by the narrative output that the MCU-approach provides, which saw it repeat the same arcs and formula elements all the time and still created plot holes and stagnation. Not to forget that the MCU approach brought 16+ successful yet forgettable movies, not one masterpiece such as TDK, Logan or even WW among them. That says a lot.

The DCEU should not be like the MCU, but be limited to defined origin movies (MoS, WW, Flash, Aqua etc) as well as ensemble movies (JL, SS2 etc) that form a cohesive narrative.

It's too early to tell what this will lead into, but it sounds like a intriguing and fresh approach.
